guy drowned trying to save his dog. pretty noble in my opinion. You can still buy his knives on ACK for $400+. I dont blame the OP for the initial post, but this thread is why the internet sucks. cant imagine being a Marine and holding a grudge for 20 years over $1000.00 sheesh

I cant imagine someone taking issue with another person not forgiving a thief who stole from them, regardless of the time frame.

I hadn't heard about his death. Sad.
I once had a cordial relationship with him and had met him at shows. He was a police officer at one time and we talked LEO stuff.
He sent me a knife as a gift but after I had heard the unfortunate stories, I turned around and gifted it to another individual on these forums, allegedly a corrections officer, who had allegedly lost a fixed blade knife that was dear to him.
In true keeping with the synchronicity of the universe, he never sent me what he had offered, (patches, and memorabilia from his place of work), but it didn't matter as I hadn't asked for anything to begin with. (Never heard from him again.)
So, it seems that Reif's work went to someone who also found that keeping his word was more trouble than it was worth. And so it goes.

forgiveness is not the issue... the 20 year rant is the issue.

Well, the OP hasn't posted since 2018...so it's others keeping the thread alive.
I don't think being a Marine has anything to do with whether someone forgives another for the loss of $1,000...or frankly how that's anyone else's concern. Maybe if he was a priest I'd expect more compassion, sympathy and solicitude.
It's sad that Dale died, but if he had to go, it was a good way to die. The rest...is something else altogether.
That said, now that we have been notified of his death, I'm going to close the thread.
