Maybe you know a CAD guy that makes a living working for free. I do not have the money to pay for a cad software programmer. I do not have the money to pay for 100 blades ran through very expensive water jet equipment. Does that add up? I do not know how to break it down past skill level zero. You can take the thank you for your service and shove it. Its all in the about section of my website. I could not get it to post. Maybe you want to take the time to get it to post up. I do not care enough to bother

This post just lost one prospective customer for sure, I know I won't deal with someone like that.
And it does seem like you use that kit knife, you say you finish a blank that has been water jet cut... Pretty obvious to me, why bother trying to lie about it.

Your anger is making it obvious you're being dishonest. I read your about me section (some of it was cut off and hard to read, but I got the idea), and I looked at your whole photobucket library, all I'm saying is none of that convinced me of anything other than what I previously thought. Show a picture of a raw blank from the waterjet if you can't post a video of you grinding out a blank. I'm just being honest, and ask the same in return. This forum is very important to me and I'm just trying to uphold the standards and level of honesty and trust we as a community have here.
Did I ever say I ground out a blank? Go to http://www.knifemaking.com/category-s/651.htm. They have a section that states knife kits and they have a section that says knife blades. I buy my knife blades from the knife blade section. If you thought I was in the mountains of japan forging these knives I did not mention this one time.

That's all that was originally asked. It was your aloofness that raised suspicion.

Dude, I put Parmesan cheese on my Stouffer's lasagna, that doesn't mean I made the lasagna. And yes, if you are selling painted Jantz blades you should most definitely mention that, especially if you're charging $165 for it!
painted.....do you have any clue how long it takes to cerakote anything? Do you think redjacket makes their parts or just buys mass produced stuff and puts their name on it. Maybe they should change their name from red jacket to each and every single part that they buy

I do actually. Do you have any idea how long it takes to design, cut out, profile, and put an edge on a knife? Nope, you don't.
If you wanna sell some pre-made knives that you cerakoted and put your name on, then do it! More power to you! However, you come into a respectable forum trying to sell these "arts and crafts" projects as a knife you have made. You call yourself a KNIFEMAKER! Does that title mean nothing to you? I read everything you said in your 'about' section on your website, and in the end, none of it matters. I don't mean to seem heartless, but you go on to talk about honor and respect, yet you try to sneak in these jacked-up $25 knives your trying to sell for $165? Where's the respect in that? But you know what, even if we forget allllll of that, you lied. Technically, no, you never 'said' they were handmade knives, but you DIDN'T say they weren't by you, and that's just as bad.

It sure does. Another "maker" just got caught doing the same thing.
This thread and others like it will go away when unscrupulous "makers" stop trying to rip people off.

Worse than attempting to pull that off to begin with was the fact that he continued to BS his way around the situation, throw a tantrum, and decided his best course of action was to attempt to question my military background in retaliation. I won't mention the PM's, but those who need to see them, will.
Here is a screenshot I took of his website last night after that thread closed:

He put that on his website? What a wacko.

Life is stressful, some people can handle it, some people can't, some people need help, he's batting 2 outta 3, I hope he gets help because he sounds like a powder keg about to blow.
