recently traded a Spyderco Szabo knife to Slade, in exchange for him buying me some gear I wanted from 5COL. Slade also sold me two hanks and boxed everything up nicely and shipped it fast. The knife i shipped to Slade spent the better part of two or three weeks in a truck , lost in the blizzard somewhere....but it suddenly showed up unscathed at Slades door. In the meantime I had payed him for the gear he bought, on account i figured the knife was gone - USPS was no help (snottiest CSR i have ever dealt with) . But it all turned out good. The second the knife arrived at Slades door, he refunded me . You Sir, are awesome and the hanks are beautiful. Thank You Sir! pics in RECENT PURCHASES thread.
