I've been on this site a long time and it pains me to have to finally write my first negative feedback.

I had my doubts when I bought a couple Benchmade Bugout 535 knives from bigd200315 for about half price. Figured he was just hard up for cash so I took the risk. They looked fine to my ignorant, uneducated eye.

Some time has passed and apparently others also fell victim to the misrepresentation because I received several PMs regarding this guy and his knives. This caused me to check the knives I got from him and sure enough, they appear to be knock offs based on all available info I can find.

Wouldn't be a big deal if he was up front about it or if he took responsibility and made it right, but I texted yesterday asking for a partial refund and received no reply. If the guy was unaware, it is what it is and he has plausible deniability - but given the price, I'd wager that he knew full fell these knives were not genuine.

I'm happy to remove this post if the requested partial refund is sent, but folks should know that this guy seems to have knowingly concealed the fact that he was selling fake Benchmade knives and representing them as genuine. That's a big no-no.

Man up and pay me back. I'm being generous by asking for a partial. Do the right thing.
