This is unbelievably beautiful and equally impressive.
Where does one start on commenting on this knife?
The Moku Ti has gorgeous pigment/coloration that creates the illusion of flowing movement I would describe as brilliantly opalescent and vivacious such as that of the sky's pallette's of a beautiful sunset which results in an illusion on the wavelengths of the color wheel that creates an Afterglow effect that I imagine is even more breathtaking in person. From my experience photos usually don't give full justice .The moku ti clip with the gold hardware is an especially nice and tasteful touch These photographs are certainly high quality and your work as a photographer is equally skillful. To sum it up, one really can't say enough about the impressive somewhat chameleon like appearance of this knife and much of your recent work. We're very fortunate to be able to review pieces of this quality. I'm proud and lucky to have someone as talented as Snody making Customs artwork this positive.
The blade angles are notably signature to Mike, if one were to look at it from a distance or without knowing who made it, you'd be able to easily discern the creator as their is only one knifemaker in the world with the capabilities of capturing futuristic elegance and classic proportion that ring loud with natural themes and motifs we have seen similar angles on some of snodys designs and other custom fixed blades and folders which are all in their own right impressive. To me it kind of reminds me of an eagle, it has natural flow which comes off as very clean, very well implemented and perfectly executed. Since Snody started making these futuristic designed blades, I have seen the many other blade designs emulate his style to not much success.
The jimping on this blade is very high quality even beyond what one could ask for in the perfect folder and I can envision and imagine the perfection of my thumb being graced in embracing its perfect grip and ergonomics, this is exactly the type of knife and light years beyond when Id envisioned when coming to the realization that custom cutlery was as much about creative artistic expression, as it is design and tactical design and performance. In many ways the perfection of the blade is a result of the and creative process.
Simply Viewing this knife truly makes me feel pleasantly warm, and that is quite a nice feeling and sensation to experience and it must be very rewarding to know your work has this type of positive affect on people. It's very uplifting at a time when many people need some positivity in their life.
It's an extremely proud feeling to invest in a knife this prestigious and highly collectible. This is a knife for the gentlemen with refined tastes and in my opinion artwork like this goes an infinite distance in changing the opinions and dynamics of anti-knife legislation movement backed by largely misinformed lawmakers I believe think they are trying to make a positive change. It's time to let them know there is a huge difference between certified collectibles and street thugs with cheap knives and other cliche weapon grade knives.
I wish some of these law makers took the time to research the vast artistic side of the custom cutlery emerging and inspiring the entire community- before introducing frivolous legislation regarding limitations on the legality of restrictive knife designs in certain regions and metropolitan areas.

Paypal is reviewing all these threads.
You guys help me out and keep everything on track.
Paypal has taken my side and we need to win this case
Now Paypal will convince his Credit Card Company that he is committing fraud.
If you have any criminal information please send it to me or post it here.
Thanks..

Kenny has also gone under the ebay name of bountyhunger2012 so good luck to those ebayers from whom he bought (and may eventually steal) from. He had another ebay alias too (i think it was galleryofcutlery) so beware of dealings with these aliases.
I'm kinda sorry that i accepted his half-assed apology after he weaseled out of our deal, because a few weeks later he sent me a ranting and slightly threatening text message that he could have easily had me banned from here and that i was banned from buying Mike's knives because he (kenny) was Mike's "marketing director" and that the snody gallery was his (kenny's) website. What a bunch of BS.
I saw that he was banned from USN for pulling the whole bait-n-switch BS that he was pulling here.

That kid has got be a crystal head or crack smoker.. maybe he does coke, but he's too trashy for that.. but with all the money he's stolen, coke might be his trick.. rambling idiot. Following in Mama's tracks.. or vice versa or who gives a rats ass.. sounds like their family is just pathetic.
Can't WAIT to hear where he ends up.. Unless he's already running like a dog...

Hopefully you did insured, signature required, etc. Keep all your paper work.
Don't know what else to do. I can't believe they will let him do a charge back after 4 months like he did to Snoddy, and others.

Good luck bringing this guy to justice Mike. Scam artists like this are the lowest of the low.

Mike,
It could not have happened to a nicer person. We all could tell this kid was a bit of a kook, but what he did to you was unforeseeable.
I hope you get all your $$$ back and rest assured the way you are handling it is a class act.
Protect yourself and your family and thanks for watching out for others.

watch Palm Harbor Florida address.. But always best to do tracking numbers and If I sell anything over 100 bucks on here or ebay I get a sig required from usps for 2.00 more.. that way you can prove someone signed for it.
