See You Around

wow john... i'm sorry to hear that man.. i hope you return soon...:( this is definately a place for you as well as everyone else.... your knives are getting better and better.. i am enjoying watching your progression...:)

as for the chump that snagged your knife.... that is a low move, and i'm sure he won't here the end of it now that you've posted in the GB & U...:mad:
 
Take care John, every knife purchase I made from you was a pleasure. :thumbup:

Sorry th hear about the guy stiffing you on the knife 'Ol Bud :grumpy: I hope you don't stay away too long, I like you knives but it is the holidays & peoples money is spread thin, it will get better;) I hope that after the holidays I'll be able to purchase one of your blades (been wanting one for a while)! You will be missed around here :(
May GOD bless you
 
I hope that dude cuts his fingers with it.. what a punk.
hey man post some pictures of the latest blades. how much? i need to buy some blades for my christmas gift to me....he he
 
John thanks for posting in the GBU, it is only fair to let everyone know the good and bad experiences we have. I hope the man makes good and restores his rep.

Don't get down about not getting alot of posts on your threads. Like others have stated, ecconomy is terrible right now.

I still think of you as part of the family here and hope to see you around.

By the way, I just checked out 1 of your convex hunters, great job and wicked sharp!
 
Hey GS, I just came back from GB&U and I didn't see the post. Did you? If so, how about emailing me the scumbags name?

Glad you put this up in GB&U. I know it's not much of a consolation at your end but it comes as a relief to know the suspect isn't a name I'm familiar with from this section of the site.

Hope you return refreshed when the battle is fought and won.
 
Great, that needed to be in there. Thanks John. We will see ya bro. Dont be a stranger!!!! Sorry for you goin, but you gotta do what ya do.:thumbup:
 
I called John to offer assistance with the bad deal and tell him he, like our other regular knifemaker/members here, can post any knife he wants.
 
Aww man, this sucks. I think of you as another guy hanging out here John, not a maker showing off his stuff.
 
Very sorry to hear that too, John. You will be missed! As much as I will miss your work, I will miss you as a person and your contributions here.

Hopefully that guy who screwed you has an karma-driven 'accident' soon.

Take good care, man!
 
Man that sucks for us. It's always a blow when one of the good eggs steps away for awhile. I'm sure you'll come back at some point John.

As far as your knives go, I know I'm STOKED for the two that I have coming from you. I got a sheath maker all lined up to make a piggyback rig for them both. NICE!

Take care of yourself. When you decide to come back, hopefully we'll have lots of stuff to fill you in on.

You are far more than your knives John. I share the same feeling as tonym. The W&SS will not be the same without you here, but if this is what you feel you need to do I support you all the way, and will be looking forward to the time you return, if you choose to do so.

John, I like many othes here am a silent reader. i got to say, i am very sorry to hear about the bad deal and think the perp needs to own up. i know i for one will miss seeing pics of your knives to drool over and ill miss hearing your advice and the knowledgable info you posses. have a good break but try and stop in every once in a while. i know we'll all miss you. God bless John.
 
I like your blades a lot, I wish i could buy one from every maker here on W&SS, but I am building a house, so the last knife I bought was my canadian special in May. (and on the list for a fiddleback, I could not resist.)
I am trading like a maniac, but when the money comes in after the new year I will be spending again, as I am sure many others will.
I hope you keep making knives and there's one for me someday.

John,

I think that your decision not to post in GB&U after posting “I also recently got burned pretty bad from one of our members on a knife, he decided he did not want to pay for it after he got the knife, but did decide to keep it.”, is unfair in a way to the other forum members. It sort of casts doubt on us all since we don’t know which one of us is being accused and could diminish trust among members. I think that posting in GB&U where both sides of the story could be heard would be a good thing since the subject has been opened.

I feel the same way...it isnt fair at all to tell us that someone amongst us is a thief and then walk away. I like your knives..and although I sometimes tire from the constant "new" knives, shown to us, from some makers..I have always felt that your knives were so prevelant amongst the guys and gals here that it was fine for you to show us the new goods. I also see you posting and "talking" to us..not only showing up to advertise...as some do!
I wish you would stay, but I understand wanting to leave..I feel like my days are numbered here as well, I have another kid on the way..how much time can be spent in front of a computer screen. Gene
 
More and more, I find myself wanting to buy knives from a "custom" maker (I don;t know if "custom" is the right term). I dont make knives but I work with my hands and, thusly, like many here, have at least a little understanding what it's like to think about the end customer while making his knife"! Every little detail ("What will he think about that? Will he see it? Is it acceptable..to me? Man, I hope they like this one?" etc etc). I've been hankering for alot of the custom blades I see here, knowing they'll be made where they say they're made!!! and knowing I'll be investing in a people and place that is very important to me.

I think I'm working myself into a decision: to stop buying commercial for awhile, and invest in some customs! I have one that a great American (and fellow forumite) is making for me right now, it should be done in January sometime, my first ever "custom". Now, I want one of yours too, Stomper.

This is a sad thread, but a good one. Kind of like what's happening in America... it's both sad yet, hopefully, enlightening.

Stick around John, or come back in from time to time with a few pics of recent projects. And NAME the guy who burned you. That's only fair to you, to us, and to him! Maybe it'll at least lead to a resolution............
