good choice on choosing Chuck .
Jim,
Now when will you settle this issue?? Do you still want to delay further??
The more you delay, the more disadvantage is to you not me. I still get my knifes throught some other makers. Step back and look into the bigger picture.

Mr Delwin
Sent me your address so I can sent you a Money order, You dealt with me and I dealt with you. I will not deal with any other person.
Jim,
In the first place if you dont want to build the knife i wanted, you could reject me. But, you did say you wanted to build it and send out without even sending a picture of the thing you send. Jim, i am a buyer, you are a maker, there are different position between you and me.
Second, you are certainly hard to contact. You should be customer service orientated if you are selling things. Trust is not by talks, but by actions. You should update me with my issue, not ignoring my mails.
I did send a email of Chuck account, do you want me to paste all the mails we have exchanged??
As for Chuck, i had asked him to make a tanto for me. He is the first knife maker i contacted to make a knife for me before you. But i needed to wait until feb to be my turn for his blade, so i contact you to make one other knife. He had alot of nice works to choose from, so i dont even need to think of one when he already have the skills to make one unique knife. And please, this issue is between me and you, stop pulling everyone in the whole world to cover your ass.
I dont think i am the only one having issue with you. Sometimes, for the better future for yourself, you really need to improve on your customers service.
Pardon me of my poor english. I seldom type so many words in forum.
When Jim, i wrote this out not because of wanting to kick you ass, but i want you to improve.
Regards,
Delwin
Best I can follow, he did not know it was another maker's knife until he sent drawings to his parts guy.
I don't know what ethical boundaries typically apply here, but Jim Adams apparently did not want his name on another man's design.
I totally understand that inclination.
Could you respond to which knife EXACTLY you asked Jim Adams to make?
Just because you asked Chuck Gedraitis to make a knife doesn't mean it's the same knife you asked Jim Adams to make.
I don't think that matter has yet been clarified in this thread.
From what I'm getting, the OP said Jim Adams said he shipped the finished knife. Or did I misunderstand?
And the makers response was to just keep the OP's money?I would like to know if the OP asked a maker to copy another maker's design, however.

I see that now. But the stories do not square at all.

Chuck order was different from Jim order. And Jim know what he is to make.Best I can follow, he did not know it was another maker's knife until he sent drawings to his parts guy.

I'm still confused about what exactly happened here, and even whether Delwin and Jim are talking about the same knife/events. Delwin's original post makes it sound like Jim completed the knife, mailed it, but then had it get lost in the mail. Jim's reply, meanwhile, suggests that he refused even to make the knife after finding out from his parts guy that it was identical to another maker's design.
It does seem obvious that English is not Delwin's first language.
I wonder if he could have misunderstand, due to the language barrier, when Jim said the knife shipped on 1/6 /11, if that might not have been the date Jim sent the drawings for parts?????? No proof, but it could have been.
Jim has said a couple of times that he will refund Delwin's money and asked for an address. Not clear whether he ever got the address or not.
This is beginning to appear as though there is enough blame to evenly distribute between BOTH sides of this mess although blame is a little harsh to describe what, to me is a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the facts by the primary parties.
I also think that this is now between Jim and Delwin and further "help" from the outfield may not be needed.
