I have a knife on order from Cris, but I haven’t heard from him in 5 months aside from a short message 2 months ago and his email is undeliverable. Has anyone spoken to him recently, or know what’s going on?
Did you guys already pay deposits?
Thats not cool. Was that Cris' call?I paid in full already, actually.
Let me guess, did you send him the funds through PayPal friends and family?Yes, it was. I’d heard nothing but good things from everyone here about Cris, and he was super enthusiastic at the time. It’s been far to long though, and the complete lack of any communication is worrying. I know that times are hard for everyone right now, but I’m sure he could’ve found 5 min to just send me a message sometime in the last 2 months.
I’m kind of at a loss as for what to do now...

@thebradleycrew seems to know how to contact Cris. Maybe he can intervene and get an overdue update. No excuse holding someone's cash and not delivering within a reasonable timeframe. Did he give you an idea when you should expect delivery?
Well, try Marko T and you’ll stop complaining about a few weeks... Been on his custom list since January 2013 and don’t care about it anymore. That dude has become a no-go for me, even 2nd hand...No firm date, but we were talking in terms of weeks. That was back in February.
Did you pay upfront too?Well, try Marko T and you’ll stop complaining about a few weeks... Been on his custom list since January 2013 and don’t care about it anymore. That dude has become a no-go for me, even 2nd hand...
Luckily not.Did you pay upfront too?
We have been down this road before more than once. Let's just focus for now on trying to help OP to contact Chris before we start to pile up stinky stuff. I am not aware of Chris having this kind of issues in the past and he has been around for a while now. Chris' last post on IG is from 28th of February - some serious stuff must have happened if he even did not put up some info post on IG or his homepage.

Taking money upfront is super super stressful for a Knifemaker and nothing but a liability.The hardest knife for a knifemaker to make is one already paid for...
