So there's this great thread in the Spyderco forums (https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/the-traveling-spyderco-delica.1420403/) started by MostMenAreRuthless MostMenAreRuthless where he kindly offered up a delica to travel around and have visits with anyone who wanted to participate. The idea being that when everyone had some time with the knife that they would send it back to MMAR.

Everything was going fine and people were really enjoying the thread until the knife was sent to @wiredbeans (by me after my visit). @wiredbeans received the knife on April 4th, 2017, posts pictures of it for a few days and then disappears without sending the knife along to the next participant. Not only did his disappear from that thread, but he goes completely dark on BladeForums until December when he pops back up and starts posting in the exchange.

When I recently noticed he was active again, I posted a message on his profile (as did others) asking about the knife. I also posted @wiredbeans in the Traveling Spyderco Delica thread. He has not responded to anyone or returned the knife (to my knowledge). He's even been active this evening.

It's not all that valuable of an item, but he soured the thread a bit and has (apparently) kept the knife. I would urge caution when dealing with him.

@wiredbeans...can you please return the knife to MMAR?

Wow. The guy can afford an Umnumzaan, yet makes off with a Delica. :mad:

Makes me wonder if there wasn’t extenuating circumstances. If there was he should have come back apologizing and returned the knife. The knife community seems very understanding and forgiving. I have read good bad and ugly threads where members who in their heart know better give benefit of the doubt way beyond what is due. (Mothers always die or end up in the hospital at the most inoportune times it seems. Right when it was the dude’s turn to fulfil his end.)

Even so, after this passage of time it is inexcusable behaviour. Particularly if the guy comes back acting like nothing happened.

Maybe he went into a coma where he lost all his memory upon awakening. :poop:
 
Lets not forget TWO Delicas went missing in that thread. Devdev98 seems to have walked away with the orange one..
 
@devdev98 anything to say about this?

Two folks that took the essence of what is good about this forum and took it for the shittiest of reason, greed.

After this thread, they are both going on my ignore list. I don't want to send either one anything. I am holding out hope for them to reply and show that they are at least be greedy Men, not greedy petulant children...
 
Armadew is correct, two Delicas have gone missing from that thread--a brown Delica from me and an orange Delica from another fantastic member of the forums.

@wiredbeans and @devdev98 it really is a shame to sell your integrity and reputation for a knife. At a minimum you should at least contact me and explain your case. I have reached out multiple times and been very patient. My email address is mostmenareruthless@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

If the mods could chime in on this--is stealing a knife from a passaround thread grounds for being banned from the forums?
 
Banning them too quickly might make it more difficult to get the knives back...if there was ever any hope to begin with...
