Just to make it very clear, I am not defending Tim/James Mr Noble (crafstman to the clans apparently)
Here's what I've distilled from the thread:
Trading under many different company names - Dodgy
Stealing designs from other people - morally reprehensible
Selling mass produced items as handmade - Downright lying
Selling at a discount from a price that the item isn't worth - underhand
Selling tat as quality products - deception
Don't buy from him - if it looks to good to be true it will be.
If I've given the opinion I am defending his actions then that is unfortunate.
However I do defend the right for people to buy what they like (if you want tat go ahead and buy it, you've been informed and as far as I can see he isn't breaking the law) , and I do not think that hatchet design was stolen (there's too many similar mini throwing/camp hatchets around).
That's my case stated a plainly as I can
Mike out.
