Eric,

Don't try to make this about a comment I made four years ago. This thread is about you.

As far as pussy-footing around, I think my text that you quoted is crystal clear.

Not even close, and somehow I think Jerry Busse might take umbrage with that statement.

This statement is absolutely ridiculous. The tan finish is without a doubt the most abrasive finish Busse has. Speculating what Jerry's opinion would be has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

Oh, it's akin to spraying glue on a blade and rolling it in beach sand. OK.

I've seen this happen a hundred times here. A lesser known member has an issue with a more popular member, and he gets steamrolled. Anyone that even remotely agrees with the lesser known member is vilified, and before you know it the whole thread is off track. The OP is a troll and trouble maker and anyone who agreed with him has an agenda.:yawn::yawn::yawn:

I don't entirely agree or disagree with either the OP or the sheath maker in this case. Further, I could give less than one rabbit pellet as to my, or anyone else's, popularity here. And last, there is only one person in this thread giving the appearance of trollish behavior and of having a personal agenda. I'll give you a hint. His first name sure ain't Pablo but he's got the last name to match.

Villification? Trouble maker? Near as I can tell, once the OP calmed down, this was a reasonably intelligent and mature discussion until you popped up with the insinuations and accusations.
 
Alright folks. First of all Chuck is not a lesser known member. Second of all, in my opinion Normark knows his sheath making. Having made kydex myself, I wouldn't even try to tackle a War Boar. I farmed mine out for a sheath. Matteo if you and Eric have an axe to grind, take it to email. The tan is abrasive, of that there is no doubt.

Chuck, honestly with that curve and the way kydex almost always has contact with the sheath at some point during removal, you are going to get rubbing. That rubbing is exaggerated with the tan due to it's abrasive nature. Given the curve of the WB, I can only imagine that it would take a good deal of insertion and removal throughout the process to make sure the sheath is just right. Could you for see that, maybe not. Does that make it Eric fault, not necessarily. All I know for sure is that I probably will not make kydex for anyone else if they have a tan blade in the future. :)
 
Hey Matt...

Ok,, we'll let your limited experince be fact then...

As far as your comments...

You are the one with the Agenda my friend..
you have a bug up your Butt about me for some Reason,, Why I have No idea...

Your making insinuations that I'm up to something with this, and I won't stand by and let it go.

The fact of the matter is,, the Sand Powdercoat is Gritty,, that grit falls off and gets rubbed off...

Do you need me to draw you a picture with a Crayon for you to understand that...

It's been clearly stated by Many people in this thread,, I don't understand what part of that simple picture you can Grasp...

As far as Steamrolling anyone..

I have Absolutely NO intention of Steamrolling Chuck on this..
I've stated to him, here in public and to others in PM's that this disturbs me that Chuck is Not Satisfied. It's like a black cloud hanging over my head, and I don't like it..
I don't do business that way, and the thoudsands of happy customers I have are proof of that..

With that being said, I also have my good name to defend, and have Clearly stated my stand on this matter as to the effect Sand PC has on a Knife/Sheath. It's real simple,, try to follow along.

It is a Fact that you cannot please Everyone.

I lesson the chances of that happening by providing First Rate Quality and customer service...

As for the this thread going off track,, it's (Edited)People like you that throw it off track with innuendos that put my Character in Question.

You don't have a Dog in this fight,,so keep your Limited Experience to yourself. You want to make a comment,, base it on fact not innuendos.

You can Yawn Yawn Yawn all you want.. If you are bored with the thread Suffle along Matt.

I have no axe to grind with Anyone. Seems however that someone doesn't like me.
Oh well.

However I won't be attacked without Drawing as well..

The fact of the matter is, that if Matteo ceased to exist, I wouldn't have even realized he was gone.

Eric, I understand and do not fault you for defending yourself. The admonishment was just a reminder that this isn't the place.

As a matter of fact, this should have been kept in the G,B & U and never brought here. I understand Chuck wanted to catch the pulse of this community, but a locked thread with a link to his G. B & U thread would have been more appropriate.

For those on this forum, take further discussion of this issue to the G,B & U thread, otherwise I will move this one and a mod over there can merge them or whatever they see fit.
 
Progunner..

Absolutely...
and I don't want this Brushed under the table...

It serves me Absolutely No good to have a customer walk away Unhappy...

It is Truely No what I want.

I would like the thread to go back to what it was Without outside forces throwing flammables into something that is being Resolved...

Thanks for bringing a level head to this..

Eric,

First of all, that's just plain hateful. I don't want you to die! I just agreed with the OP that perhaps there was excessive wear on the blade from making a kydex sheath!

Perhaps I have an intuition though, I can pick out the people that have darkness in their hearts.
 
Eric--

IMO it looks like you do excellent work. I am not a fan of Kydex because of the scuff marks, but to each his own. Whoever chooses Kydex HAS to understand that.
 
Hey Guys...

Matteo..

I don't want you to die either Bro...

All I'm saying is that if you Weren't here it would make No difference to me...That's how little I care about your opinion...

If you had intuition you'd realize your out of your league and you are pulling a stone cart Uphill.

As far as having Darkness in my heart...

I'll let me clients speak for me on this.

Hey Eric: Aside from the some of the fallout in this thread, your work speaks for itself. The sheath you made for my 'everyday user knife' has stood the test of time, and has done the job it was intended for- to secure the knife, and ease of access. A+ work for sure Eric!

Sure over time there are a few scuffs on it, much my fault from bits of sand and whatever, but the knife is a user, and in my opinion looks just great even after millions of draws.

Looking forward to getting the knife I sent down in Sept, and putting it to work.

Out of my league? I made a few pointed observations that apparently really got under your skin. In fact, in an attempt to divert attention away from yourself, you've done your best to make this thread about ME.

If you care so much about your customers, why wasn't this handled privately....before Chuck felt the need to go public?

Eric, if you'll take note I asked a question immediately after this thread was posted, and before I knew it was you. Did the maker only produce one sheath with this knife, or were several made?

Would you care to answer?
 
My take on this is that a template knife should have been made to use for molding the sheath. If I send a pristine knife in I would expect the same back or to be told UPFRONT that the knife would be damaged in the making of the sheath and to what extent.
 
I have always been a staunch supporter of "the customer is always right" school of business. . . . I will try to explain to a customer if I think their expectation is out of line, but in the end, we ALWAYS go with the customer's opinion. It can be quite painful and expensive. . . but tough cookies, that's life! We have NEVER, knowingly, left a customer unsatisfied. . . PERIOD! :thumbup:

I have had many knives returned for recoating from kydex makers in the past. . . I'm sure that there will be many more in the future. Sometimes, the coating gets too hot during the molding process or excessively scuffed. . . etc. . . Stuff happens. . . no excuses, you deal with it. . .

Both parties involved are really good people. . . This needs to be resolved to the customer's satisfaction. The bottom line is, Chuck is the customer and he's not satisfied. . . this needs to be rectified.


Jerry :D

fact kydex will scuff any blade put in it.the only coating i know that will hold up in kydex is the stuff glock puts on there pistols tuff stuff indeed.fact those are fine looking sheaths you had made cant fault the maker he did a excellent job.busse knifes are beaters ... expencive ones to be sure but they were made to be used HARD.i dont see how you have much room to gripe
