Lone Wolfe, this is so totally messed up. I was ripped off on a $300 handmade shooting range bag over on another site about 4 years ago. I'm still pissed off about it. I just started this batch and it's a lot of knives which means it will be about a month before I'm finished but if you want one of the 3" blade fixed blades I'll send you one free of charge. It's no sebbie but I'd be proud to have you own it.
Here is a picture of the blank but you can get an idea of the shape. It will come with a sheath.
Shoot me an email. michael at coreknives dot com

If only the mods agreed with you.
Sorry to hear you got the shart too, it really sucks.
That's really generous of you to offer one of your knives and it looks like it's going to be rock solid. I'd be honored to have one, but I'm going to pay for it. Thank you, and I'll be in touch.

As far as I know that's him. I paid with paypal, and it showed his name as a match. He asked that 'his' name be removed after he finally made good on the transaction in this thread. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...icalBlade-BAD-TRADER!?highlight=TacticalBlade
Also, the tracking info that he gave me, which never showed the knife getting to the post office, came from the same area. It sounds like he wants his name cleared without having to make good.

It gets even more interesting. He just wrote to me, saying he wants to make right. Stay tuned.
LW, I'm sorry to hear about the heartache due to a guy trying to take advantage of someone downrange. I'll work you up a free wet molded sheath if you end up getting a replacement folder if the situation isn't resolved with the lost funds.....I've been there. Just let me know. If I've got whatever you pick up on hand, I can work with you right away. Otherwise, you'll have to ship the knife to me......I'll do my best not to give you bogus tracking info. Ridiculous. It bothers me when folks take advantage of someone trying to trust that there are still decent folks out there.

I got an email from TB last night telling me he wants to make good, and to have his real name removed this thread. He also sent me a Word document of something he said he plans to post in here. I'll leave the specifics for him to say, but it's a well worded apology for stealing from me. He also asked my address, saying he was ready to ship my Umnumzaan.
He also told me the chargeback had been processed against him, and he was surprised I didn't get the money. After looking at the screenshots he sent I suspect that because his PP account is at a negative balance I won't actually get the funds until his account is paid back, even though I 'won' the case.
With that in mind I asked him "With the money taken from you, what do you want to do if I can't get the from paypal? The next question would be, what do you want to do if I do end up getting the money?" He replied with "In my opinion, I dont need the money so long as I get my name cleared. If you feel that you need to pay something, that is up to you. I dropped the ball here, I said I'd make it right, if that means working extra hard to make up the lost cash, thats my issue".
Today we traded a few more emails, including one with what appears to be a valid tracking number. He asked how soon I could clear his name. I told him my friend who's recieving the knife would let me know when she recieved the box and what's in it, then I'd edit his name from the title and posts, and ask for moderator/other posters help in getting the other posts edited and the tag cloud cleared.

I dont have any excuses this time, or any reason to try and hide or run. I want to make everything right and then request to be banned as clearly I cannot handle myself. I am completely in the wrong here and as Ive dug myself into my hole, Ive continued to try and dig myself out by digging myself deeper. I only request that as soon as this is made right, I get my rightful banishment and my name removed. Id appreciate the opportunity to clear my name by making things right. Ive wasted time and energy and its time for moving on. Ive not only shamed myself, but my family in this and they do not deserve the repercussions. I cant explain why Ive done what I did, or why Ive led myself down this path. I was raised better and know better.
I want everyone to know what happened. I sold 4 or 5 knives on the forums and had no problems with any of them. Lone_Wolfe purchased the knife and for some reason I delayed in shipping it and she was transferred to another base. At which point, she forwarded me her address and I was supposed to ship it. I even printed out the shipping label once and somehow didnt ship it. All I did was make up excuses and lies to try and cover up what has gone wrong. And thats what I tried to do again this time.
A more personal side to the story is I got totally entangled in lying about a lot of things then not only to Lone_Wolfe, but to friends and family as well. Long story short, I got caught up and my family and I had a very long conversation where everything came out. Except the fact that I stole from Lone_Wolfe. My aunt then somehow came across it and emailed it to my father. At which point I lied to him about it again. Though, after uncovering just about every lie I ever told, I felt horrible about the fact that I was starting down the road of lying again.
I then sat through the homily at church on Sunday and of course it was about forgiveness and how a person is always forgiven by God no matter what he/she does, but what keeps them locked down is the fact that they never can forgive themselves. I want to forgive myself and I cannot hold onto this any longer.
Currently, my paypal balance is ~380 dollars in the red due to the chargeback from Lone_Wolfes credit card and I still have a one of a kind blue Umnumzaan. I will send it to its rightful owner and take this as a lesson learned. I hope that I can seek a small amount of forgiveness and at least have my personal information removed. Everything else deserves to stay and should stay. If Lone_Wolfe can confirm to me her address has not changed, the knife will go in the mail tomorrow shipped as fast as possible.
** Lone_Wolfe gave me her latest address and delivery confirmation information has been sent.
Also, I kindly ask spark to remove my false email with my business information on it or, edit out my name and website information and leave the rest as a lesson learned. Basically, I know my reputation is shamed here. Whether the Mods ban me or not, I have a negative reputation, all I ask is that when my name is google searched, all of this doesnt show up in the future because for anyone who actually knows me, this is not who I am.

I never post in these threads but I don't understand something.
Would he have given up the knife his name wasn't out there?
Why reward him for trying to rip you off?
If he didn't want bad karma why didn't he do the right thing in the beginning?
...........
Unbelievable ............

No, I don't believe he would have at all. As we can see from his post, a family member had to bust him out in order to get him to come clean. He wouldn't get rewarded, the thread will remain with just his real name removed. He's also asked to be banned, and I agree with that.

I was posting at the same time he was so haven't read it.
I think clearing his name is a big favor.

I appreciate you coming forward, even after all this time, and trying to make good. As I said, once it's confirmed that I have the Umnum I'll edit your real name and ask others to do the same. I know you're young, I really hope you carry this lesson with you and learn from it. You're only as good as your word.
I agree with you, but that's how it's commonly done here. The person makes good for whatever reason, and their real name comes down while leaving the username posted.

Spark posted this monday (I shortened it to statements I found interesting).
Today Ryan says he went to Church and got Religion on Sunday.
Which came first, and does it really matter? I don't believe the conversion is anything but one of convenience and trying to hide a justifiably terrible reputation.
Removing his personal info is a favor I do not believe he deserves

THIS. Hasn't he done this before, on this very forum? What will clearing his name accomplish other than someone looking for his pens won't know what a theif they are dealing with....And sorry, 2 decades in law enforcement has taught me a person who shows regret only after they're caught is still a thief....He is no more reformed any more than he was 2 weeks ago :/
