I really hate to post a negative thread but I feel compelled to bring my situation to light.
I purchased a "limited edition" Snody custom Damascus "Economist" friction folder in December 2011. He never delivered. I had numerous email interactions directly with Mike in which he never denied owing me the knife. He was always very cordial, but always asked for more time and promised "next week" numerous times with the pitch of how the value of the knife is way more than what I purchased it for. Because of his professional attitude, correspondence, and lack of negative feedback from customers online, I was willing to wait it out. Then at one point he referred me to ultrareef to handle the situation, which then after a while referred me back to Mike for a solution because apparently Mike wasn't going to make the knife, or any knife for me, which I would have taken anything which had value so I wasn't screwed out of my money.
But here we are nearly 5 years later, I've completely given up on wanting or expecting Mike Snody to come through like he promised. And he hasn't responded to my recent emails. It's impossible for me to file a claim with PayPal since so much time has passed.
I feel ripped off, I'm hoping it can still be resolved because I don't have enough money to want to just throw away $300. But at the same time I hope I can prevent it from happening to someone else. Or if someone else has had a similar experience this opens the door to share it.
