I need a Knife Doctor..

CarlM · Post by **CarlM** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 1:36 am

I recently bought this knife on Ebay. It was described as mint. I have been wanting one of these for a while. I was really excited when the mailman delivered it. My excitement went away when I opened the package. The back handle is loose on one end. When the handle is squeezed, the rivet sticks way out. The rivet appears to have never been braded at the factory. This bothers me as much as if it had a broken blade.
Does anyone know where I can send this knife to get it repaired right?
On the Ebay listing, the photo doesn't show this loose handle because the person is squeezing it together' Here is the iten no on ebay.280008551513

Here are photos that I took.

Jeff,
I was dialing the wrong area code.

I just spoke to him and he is going to fix it for me. He seems like a very nice guy. I really appreciate you telling me about him. I hope someday I can return the favor.
Best Regards,
Carl

Hello Folks

,
I do not recognize that area code. Is he (Eugene) still living here in Tennessee ( 10 E C ) ?
I have not talked to him in awhile, but get emails from a mutual friend and he has never said anything about it.

The seller was Jeff Rickman (jrickman2452) on ebay. I told him about the problem with the knife and he was nice about it. Today he refunded me $15.00 through paypal. The repair will be aprox. $25.00, so I didn't come out too bad.

Carl M Sorry to here about your hurt feelings. I too have had my feelings hurt from some sellers on E BAY. I am saving Schrade knives and lots ok bad ones out there because when the Co. closed the door they sold all the knives that were still in the factory some of witch would have NEVER gone out the door do to defects and errors. They are on E Bay now. Most of them do not have factory boxes so this is one way I stay from bidding on them (NO BOX NO BID). Ken

Nice to see your found a man to fix your knife.

I'm going to save those digits for sure. I just performed minor surgery on a 1987 Cripple Creek myself. It came out okay, but talk about stressful! If I knew what I was doing it probably wouldn't be so bad. Next time I think I'll use The Knife Doctor. Thanks.
