DO NOT BUY SHIT FROM CROCBLADES.COM

Yea, I know…three post on one day, I must be on a rampage but I have a lot of things to say and haven’t had time to get my thoughts in one spot. Remember that posting of the fallkniven northern light thor bowie? Yea, I bought it from these fuckers. I use the term “fuckers” loosely because “fuckers” implies you can actually DO something as opposed to just offer up excuse after excuse.

As you know from my fallkniven northern light thor bowie review, it sucked and had some “quality control issues” so I wanted to return it and get my money back for something that has never let me down, namely hookers and blow. Apparently Crocblades can’t fucking answer their god damn emails and after contacting my credit card company they MAGICALLY rectified whatever e-mail server issues they were having and answered my emails.

Hi XXXXXXXXX,

I just got a notice from XXXXXXXXX that says your knife is defective and you havent been able to get in touch with us. I’m not sure what’s going on there, but the letter says the tip is broken and there is a hole in the sheath. I have two of these in stock right now — would you like to exchange it for another one?

My response….

I’ve sent your company a few emails regarding this and got no
response. Why do you think I ended up contacting XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
directly?

Yes, I would like to exchange it for another one. I can forward the
original email where I had requested that if you like. I don’t
understand why this simple issue has taken so long to resolve.

and their response, I’ve cut out 6 ADDITIONAL EMAILS in-between because Amy basically denies there is any problem and the customer is wrong….imagine that…..but this was the gem! After she said she had two more in stock and could ship them I got this load of bullshit.

Hi XXXXXXX,

Got your message Friday afternoon. We’ve been in business for almost seven years and have had less than 5 chargebacks — so you really don’t have to worry about us scamming you. That said, I do understand your concerns, so we can do the return however you like. I am showing zero stock on the Thor — so let me check on the ETA and if we can’t get it worked out, I will just issue a refund and have you send back the defective one, unless you are okay with waiting on the replacement. I do have a really good price on it. Anyway, I will be in touch by the end of today.

Zero stock? What the fuck bitch you said you had two in stock!

Apparently their email server goes down when you have a problem and spring to life again when the a credit agency calls them. After almost a month this issue hasn’t been resolved and I have taken matters into my own hands by posting just how shitty their customer service is. Their final response was for me to return the knife to the manufacturer…which is funny because I gave CrocBlades my money. Their email is below with my response.

Hi XXXXXXXX,

Peter at Fallkniven said you could return the knife to him directly and they will take care of it. I pasted his message below, but basically make sure you write on the outside of the box “Broken Knife for Warranty Matters, HS code XXXXXXXXXX”. Maybe you should send it to Peter’s attention and reference Crocblades as your point of purchase (you can include my email address as well in case they need a copy of your purchase documents) on a small note inside the box. Of course, do not forget to include your return address. Send it to the following address:

Fallkniven
Granatvagen 8
S-96143  Boden
Sweden

Thanks and let me know if you encounter any issues or have any questions.
Amy — Crocblades.com

and now for my response

It is not possible for me to mail a knife from an XXXXX to address to an
address outside the U.S. States. XXXXXX is reserved for military to deal
with the U.S. Postal System. The issue is international customs.
Secondly I bought the knife from your company…now I’m sending it to
a third party? Does this seem right?

Again, no fucking response for DAYS!

CrocBlades is not a company that stands by their guarantee, has no customer service, and is NOT someone I would do buisness with. I suspect they sell factory seconds which is why their prices are so low. If you want quality products, good customer service, and people whose email servers actually work then deal with knifecenter.

I heard of Bawidamann through some gun rag a while back. He makes some pretty cool designs and apparently his expertise in art has allowed him to branch off into making knives. Yep knives, draw some cool pictures of a girl holding a M-4 and your a certified knife expert…whatever. Any ways I liked his designs and decided to purchase a couple of his t-shirts. I usually like to wear t-shirts and at $26.00 plus shipping I figured it would be a quality product. Wrong, not even close. When the shirts arrived it was delivered in a mail delivery bag, not exactly kosher but whatever its just a t-shirt. So anyways I open up this “bag” and I see the cheapest fucking shirt I ever held in my life. The dude printed the shit on a brand called SOFFE.

If you aren’t familiar with SOFFE it is the cheapest fucking shirt pocket change can buy. The shirt is so thin that you might as be wearing toilet paper. I mean its not all bad, if you wanted to have a wet t-shirt contest this is DEFINITELY the brand to go with but I wouldn’t wear on it on a day that is foretasted for rain seeing as how you may be arrested for indecent exposure or denied entry into a “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service” facility. If the guy decides to use some better quality t-shirts and stop being such a Jew then I might buy a few more.

The biggest threat to our nations national security is internal. When I say that I don’t mean the so-called legions of home-grown terrorist, militias, or racial supremacy groups. What I am referring to is the laxidasical attitude of so many Americans that is letting this nation and all its institutions slowly deterroriate from the inside out. In particular I am referring to Officer Corps, what branch is inconsequential as it seems to span across all branches to include SOCOM. The particular issue I am referring to today revolves around an incident or perhaps I should say a series of incidents.

One group of Officers I could never stand are the “experts”. Those Officers who truly believe know everything because they were “prior enlisted”. In my opinion these are easily the worst types of Commissioned Officers I’ve ever dealt with. They often second guess Senior Non-Commissioned Officers and totally disregard their Officers peers due to the fact that they haven’t “earned” their bars. Today I was able to deal with one of these so-called experts who, instead of addressing me directly chose to go behind my back to yet another supervisor. So this is what I don’t get, couldn’t this waste of  Commissioned slot just have gone to me directly to voice their complaint? You would think an Officer, someone charged with a solemn oath with have the testicular fortitude to call their peer on a issue. You know, ride straight, shoot straight and speak the truth as opposed to being a sniveling bureaucratic little bitch. Apparently the Armed and “Intelligent” Services don’t work that way any more. Doesn’t really surprise me anymore honestly. We have grown a nation of risk averse androgenic leaders that don’t have the balls to address others much less their enemies, admit they don’t know something and seek out the right answers or simply just speak the truth. Instead we have people that have the mentality of an urban post office with space age weaponry and a multitude of intelligence assets. Must of SOCOM is fucked all beyond recognition because as long you can pass a “gut check” your good to go. We fork over millions for nitwits who speak foreign languages but don’t offer a dime for someone who walks in the door with multitude graduate and post-graduate degrees. Then, we are suddenly shocked when the dipshit who barely speaks English but can speak Farsi turns on us and has connections to terrorist. That is the state of today Armed Services.

Example two of today involved yet another officer. He is more or less what I will consider the de-facto Officer that our ROTC programs and Academies are currently producing. He is the type of individual who hasn’t memorized his oath and thinks its an oudated document. He is a self-serving individual who is primarily conscerned with what’s in it for him, and how his actions affect his bottom line. He seems is service as a contractual obligation to pay for his college education and may consider extending his contract for additional educational benefits if he thinks they will be lucrative when he is “done with” the military. He owns no firearms and has absolutely no interest in them. He thinks knives are an outdated weapon, questions why bayonets are still in use, does not know the blast radius of a hand grenade and only goes to the gym if he just started dating some equally ditzy self-serving narcistic bitch that is a mirrior image of himself. He spends his income on petticures, manicures, and facials. He likes cross-fit and sees no reason to gain weight and strength since he doesn’t plan on getting in a fight. He is the American Officer today. A pseudo-fagot, a man with no integrity, a coward, and a fraud. This is who we currently employ to lead our Soldiers in time of war. Men that have broken down in tears when the bullets start flying and whose Non-Commissioned Officers must save and pamper them like an overgrown baby. I thought about the type of man that was getting a haircut, shampoo, petticure, manicure, combo at 1400 during the duty day in uniform. I thought about why such an individual would request a haircut barely within regulations and after reading GQ as he waited for his haircut. I thought, and perhaps that was my problem, I thought. Perhaps this is why the mighty U.S. War Machine keeps getting bogged down in third world shitholes and becoming more overly reliant on technology to preserve their own lives and those of our enemies.

What I find truly ironic is that my “problems” of not being a people-person seem to stem from the aforementioned types. Haters going Hate?  I guess so, ain’t shit I can to but keep on; just me being me.

So I had a dream the other night that accurately describes my 5+ years of living abroad in East Asia.

I’m going on a trip, so I packup my car and decided to head out from my humble abode. My adobe being a 37 story apartment building that greatly resembles what we in America would term “the projects”. Its inhabitants are rather well behaved but rather cold, rude, anonymous creatures. I think I have everything I need when I remember I forgot my chewing gum and again wait on the elevator cram packed with other people to back to my room/apartment to grab one single item.

The second trip takes 8 minutes which somewhat annoys me as this simple tasks would be measured in seconds within the U.S. I finally get in my car and prepare to head out, there is a small traffic jam in the parking basement because someone just doesn’t feel like getting the fuck outta the way. I honk my horn and it awakens whatever moron from whatever slumber he or she was doing behind the wheel at 1000AM. I then make another turn only to wait behind what seems like a 20 minute red light. After a very annoying serious of convoluted directions and turns around old ladies, old men pushing shopping carts filled with crap, late night prostitutes and school children (and in some cases they are both of the same profession) I finally make it to the “expressway”. In most east asian countries you pay to use what we would consider a freeway. The problem is I don’t see the value added because your just paying to wait in even more traffic. Since I’m Catholic I am against birth control but it seems as if these fuckers can’t abort each other fast enough! Finally, after a few hours I am finally “cruising” on the expressway heading towards my destination on the beach when something tingles my spider sense.

I am not heading over an extremely long bridge over what appears to be untamed waters. Yep, this isn’t a lake or a river but untamed fucking salt water. Now, I am no marine biologist but I do know that salt water is generally untamable which is why Europeans usually tunnel underneath it as opposed to making a bridge over it. Needless to say I am even more greatly troubled by the fact that what was once a four lane road heading in one direction has inexplicable turned into a TWO LANE ROAD. Now I’m worried, namely because the mass of the bridge over a very large volume of violently thrashing water has put the odds in the favor of the sea. Whatever I thought, no race of people could be that stupid. Wrong again, a short distance up I notice THE MOTHER FUCKING BRIDGE IS OUT. Not just “under construction” or “needs repair” but the fucker is OUT, OUT! As in it NO LONGER EXIST in the middle of the damn sea. You would think there would be cones, helicopters, huge emergency signs telling us to turn around or at least close the fucking bridge in the first place but NO! Instead there is a old korean man who probably drunk or high on opium or both who just simply waves a light stick with absolutely no emotion on his face, motioning people to turn around. Are you fucking kidding me? Just then, a jackass who was cutting in and out of lanes in his BMW slams right into that fucker and careens off into a icy watery death. That in a nutshell is the culture of East Asia. American dollars that have managed to finance some of the most stupid people on earth to build a civilization of copy-cat Western civilization without the fundamental knowledge, philosophy, or thinking to make it work.

Yep, the following video is your tax dollars at work. Good thing she didn’t have a gun, someone may have gotten hurt… God forbid people can defend themselves from gangs of marauding youth that can’t control their primate nature. Oh yes, they only just kicked her in the head a few times and then stomped on it. If she had a gun to defender herself those poor youth wouldn’t have been able to cripple her, but remember every life is sacred and we have police to protect us. Right…notice how the cops just stand by and do nothing. Your tax dollars hard at work. When will people wake up!

As my colleague Mark Finkelstein reported Friday, global warming-obsessed media have been hysterically blaming this year’s record snowstorms on climate change under the theory that Al Gore’s favorite myth will increase moisture in the atmosphere thereby raising the amount of the white stuff falling from the sky.

But America’s deep south setting snowfall records as the planet is supposedly warming defies anything approaching logic – unless of course you’re a journalist tied to Al Gore’s hip.
