No, I called him sledge. But that's him with reference to the email address. I was waiting for 2 weeks to have it delivered by UPS but it was around Xmas and with the storms back east I was not concerned. I used goods , with no pictures, how bad could it be on a "lightly used" emerson commander? Since then it was sent to emerson for lock rock and sharpening so it good now but could have been screwed if I had used gift. Live and learn.
