Its not my intent to bash Charlie Edmondson, owner/operated of Edmondson Elite, but.. by default; I will be doing so. I just want to caution anyone that may stumble upon his IG page or FB page that.... for lack of a better word, is a very unreliable knife maker.
Cliff notes:
I traded this person a knife in the beginning of August, it was sold almost instantly (on his IG) upon delivery - value ~$200+. I was told I'd have a knife/knives in early Sept at the latest. Over the next few months, I would be sent pictures of several blades, even some videos of my stuff being made. Then I was shown some other new blades, that I was told I'd be sent to test out, and show off considering the shop I work at. All the while, I saw several blades go up for auction/sale/etc on his IG page while I was being told he was behind, etc *my stuff delayed*. New blades have been posted up, and sold several times since August.
Its now December 1st, and I was told I'd have 'my stuff' this past Tuesday Nov 29th - (still unknown what "my stuff" consit of) considering the specific designs, and options I asked for have yet to be seen, ever.
Anyway, I feel like I've been more than patient. I've only heard excuses. The one positive I will state, in full disclosure. The communication has been great. Unfortunately, thats all it is.. communication and zero delivery on stated promises.
Just a little community public service announcement regarding Edmondson Elite (Charlie Edmondson).
