Kit knives a LIE
 

It has come to my attention that the knives I make and sell are " Kit " knives I assure you they are not. If you think they are then find some that are identical to mine . I did offer one on Karma and stated it was a kit . It was free even though I put a lot of work into it .

I info. this site early on that I do not hammer out my blades anymore due to health issues . Plus if I did you would not get them for what I charge . They would be in the Hundreds of dollars .

I make about $ 30.00 on my knives which comes out to be about $1.oo an hour labor .

I may offer more knives in the future but only if you trust my work .

If you don't I'll move along ( this will make at least one individual happy )

Enough said .

I like your knives just fine. No need to go anywhere

IMO, if that one individual doesn't care for your knives and has a problem with them he should be the one to move along, not you Arley.

^^ Well said bud !!

I don't think you are misleading anyone here. Even if you made them from a kit you finished it. I would equate that to assembling an AR upper then selling it. I would have no problem buying something made or assembled by the members of this forum. Keep doing what you are doing.

Exactly. A friend here on the forum sent me one of your knives, it's beautiful.

BTW, this feud is officially over

Arley, you know my stance.

Arley.... I like your work. Let the haters hate. You have a home here.

Did some PM'ing earlier. http://www.cotep.org/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

Bingo

For the record, the pino was not involved. :D

As said your knives are really nice, and if someone wants to complain, let them go thru Mods.

Arley made a Damascus camp knife for me. I've never seen a kit like it. The ebony scales were hand fit for me. He does solid work.

I like your work, keep making knives please.

This one is done

If this is the thread, Arley, no worries. Post your work here, not as many people left, but we all liked your work.
