[QUOTE="Rez Exelon, post: 4232184, member: 5800"] So, I found out tonight after [USER=45608]@MikePAC[/USER] made a comment on the "Fixed Blade" knife thread, that the Gerber Strongarm knives I had were fake. Worse, this was AFTER I had not only posted them for sale, but also sold nearly all of them. When I got them they looked good, felt good, etc etc. But after looking up some comparison videos which detailed the fake issue, it looks like I got burned. As I am posting this, I have already taken down my listing, and reached out to everyone that I had dealings with on the thread. My apologies to [USER=53653]@SKATA[/USER] [USER=6668]@trekrok[/USER] [USER=9154]@gmar[/USER] [USER=23]@Fyrtwuck[/USER] who got Gerbers from me as well as [USER=43697]@Nic D.[/USER] who was planning on the different model Gerber I'd listed and finally [USER=684]@Glock 'em down[/USER] because he got the Leatherman, and I don't know if I can trust that either at this point. I've reached out to them and will 100% be providing a refund ASAP. While I'm not a fan of having to make a post like this, I want to make sure I am posting it because it'd be bad if I got taken --- it's happened before and it sucks, but it's life --- but I do not want to take others down. I don't take the concept of personal integrity lightly, so in addition to the actions performed I wanted to make it public record. I was just telling the story to a friend the other day of how pissed I remember feeling when I bought a fake Galaxy S7 several years ago. I really really don't want to be that guy. The shipment I got all the blades from came as part of a larger order from Amazon and I thought that meant I could trust the stuff, but I was wrong and I'll wind up taking that as a lesson. [/QUOTE]
