"Ripped Off by Dustin Turpin Knives– Deal with Caution."

^ Excellent! A much better suited title change, for this thread. :thumbup:

Under the Google search for Dustin Turpin, this thread is at #2, and climbing!

 

[neffarious]

Would be funny if it overtook his website @ #1

Yep, that just happened.

Dustin Turdpin - liar and thief ............ google shows this search at number two. He has gone private on instatgram and that says a lot. The original title is still on the search; but when you click the link the new title is there. Looks like he is getting what he deserves.

I just wonder if he would feel the same way if Dustin Turpin stole from him.....

PS, if he really wanted to make it right he'd go to his father in law and ask for the watch back after explaining the situation. We all know his father in law would give it back. And Dustin Turpin would tell the guy to keep the two knives after sending the watch back. And Dustin Turpin would've thought of that solution on his own if it was a legitimate story. The watch is gone and Dustin Turpin needs to go find a different job where his word doesn't need to be trusted, something like a McDonald's cashier.

He'd just get fired from there for swiping Jeffersons and Lincolns to buy Xanax.

I'm getting tired of reading posts where the guys send money up front to someone they don't know. Would you give the keys to your house to a guy if he said he'd make a knife for you? Your bank account info and password based on them being a knifemaker? Seems like guys completely lose common sense when it comes to things like this and I don't get it at all. If there's a binding contract that can be easily enforced in court, then ok, some leeway can be granted, say, the costs of the materials. But to give a $7000 Rolex based solely on the word of a dude you have no idea about seems so implausible and stupid that I initially thought the OP was a troll. After reading the entire thread it's obvious that it was just a naive sucker who got duped out of a freaking Rolex for a couple of knives that likely cost around $500 to make. That's a straight up con no matter how you look at it and the dude should have and could have seen it coming. I don't really feel bad for the OP, but Dustin Turpin is still a con artist.

I'd never walk up to some dude standing on a street corner in the ghetto in the middle of the night, give him the keys to my car, tell him where I parked it, and ask him to go get it for me and expect to see it back. It doesn't take a genius to see how that'd end up just like it shouldn't have taken genius level intellect to see that when a dude asks for a freaking Rolex up front with no real paperwork to begin with that he's going in for the steal.

People need to use their heads a little more and keep calm when discussing knives. If the deal isn't right then move on. And no offense to you, OP. You just want people to be decent and honest. Nothing wrong with that, but come on man. You set yourself up for failure with this deal.

If this happened to me I'd be seriously upset. But then again 7500 for me would be my knife budget for like 4 or 5 years.
I've read through this thread I think I'm starting to get it, are we saying that
Dustin Turpin of www.turpin-knives.com has stolen a watch and refuses to compensate for it with the agreed upon payment of 4 knives. Sounds like a thief and a scammer. I certainly hope he makes good on this before his reputation starts to falter. I for one will look the other way whenever I see a Turpin knife for sale.

^ Yes it would! As long as it's #2, right under Dustin Turpin's official website, that's good enough for now. Anyone who Google's his name, will see this. :thumbup:

If a knifemaker wants any money up front he damned sure better produce and/or sign a binding contract for the work, enforceable in the jurisdiction of the buyer. Pre-nups, they're not just for marriage (some of you guys know what I'm talking about)

I understand and agree with your point, but is the guy standing on the street corner standing next to a sign that says "VALET," with a history of providing good service?

Dustin Turpin of Turpin Knives presented himself as a knifemaker/businessman to op, and the knife community. For what ever reason Dustin Turpin of Turpin Knives decided to pull a long con on op and strung op along for quite a while.

Does anyone know if anyone else has been conned by Dustin Turpin of Turpin Knives? This thread is the first i've heard of Dustin Turpin and his company, Turpin Knives, but he clearly has a fan base and has sold a number of knives.

A car dealer, then. I'd never sign and pay for a car for future delivery without a contract in place. Not without having some serious trust already established. Watching an active guy here or any other forum does not mean they have morals or standards. Threaten to foreclose on a house or take food out of a starving artist's mouth and you can almost bet he'll end up on the wrong side. This guy most likely sold the watch and paid bills. Doesn't make it right whatsoever. Just saying that most full time knife makers are usually in some kind of financial bind and while some will do the right thing no matter what, others won't. Without personally knowing the guy, you(the buyer) shouldn't be the one who winds up getting robbed to pay his bills without recourse.

Remember, keep your gloves up and protect yourself at all times. This guy happened to walk right into a knockout punch because he trusted a guy he didn't know from Adam.

I look at things this way.

Let's say that we've been asked to assign blame to this situation.

On the one hand we have a customer who willingly send a watch that's valued at $7500 to a guy he didn't know in exchange for 4 knives. On the other hand we have a knife maker who accepted the watch as payment in advance at its agreed upon value who has still failed to deliver his total end of the agreement after several years.

The customer made a mistake, the knife maker lied, cheated and stole.

The customer didn't do his due diligence, the knife maker lied, cheated, and stole

The customer is out $7500, the knife maker is out nothing as of yet although his reputation is surely taking a well deserved beating.

One of the parties made some mistakes which have cost him dearly, the other one is a liar, a thief, and and a cheat.

And some people want to blame the customer...

 

[bodog]

I don't see anyone blaming the customer as of yet. Only using the customer as an example of what not to do.
