Yes, he did have multiple sites. And, yes, I agree with Terry and Jeff!

He even stole the alias "autoknife".

I remember him being a little dick when he used to post here. Some people liked him and the ones that didn't really didn't like him.

I had nothing but good experiences with him and he did a lot of custom work for me with no issues at all. Got a lot of stuff from him over the years.

I was never ripped off by him. He could be a little nasty. What issues did he have? Misrepresenting knives? I only bought new ones.

Besides liking to fight and argue all the time, my biggest beef was that I thought he misrepresented many knives he had for sale. That said, a few people I consider friends never had a problem with him. Buyer beware and do your research on what you buy and I'm sure things would go smooth for most.. It has been a long time ago. Maybe he mellowed.

He always did have some unique stuff and a good inventory. Prices were always terrible imo, but I guess no laws against that.

All his sites seem to be down.
I hope they stay that way. He's a crook and an ass.
