Im very happy to see everything worked out for everybody. It sounds like whoever tried to lift your knife might have been spooked in the process of opening the package and tried to hide it for later, but when you put all eyes on the area in question he couldnt get to it.. I think I watch too much TV to think things out like that. lol. But I am very glad you both received your knives, you are both honest men. ArmyGuy, sending the knife off knowing you would likely get nothing in return, but still sending it back because you are a good hearted person. JWBlack, offering to pay half the value of the knife out of the kindness of his heart.. both men showing true honor, honesty, respect, and heart. This forum is filled with good people, Im proud to be apart of this community.
I hope neither of you have any problems in future transactions. Good luck in the future, and enjoy your new knives!
