Steve Catts hide handler

Ok.. Just spoke with Steve..although things don't always turn out the way we expect, I genuinely think his situation has hindered him from completing my order, and being that his health hasn't been good and weather really hasn't permitted him to do his job, I am willing to stick it out and wait.. I can't kick a guy if he's down.. I don't have the heart to even want a refund or make trouble for him..thanks all

0ne or two months yes no problem but 7 months
that his rather long for a order
will call him also and ask him a honest answer about expected delivery time on my order
then its the kind of decision I don't like to take
same here I don't like to kick someone when he's having problem
hope everything turn out well

Hey Canuck

So I checked my credit card.. He billed me for 360 in September 2013 I ordered it three months before that  so I figured when he billed me the order was nearly done.. Anyways he seems like he is down on his luck ..choice is yours to handle it the way you see fit..
I have been blessed in many ways ...if things work out awesome.. If they don't... Then leSson learned.. Spilt milk....

I have an open order with him that has not been run on my card yet.  Guess I need to make a call.

That's one reason I never take a down payment on a knife unless it's something really way out there that I know I could never sell to someone else. I prefer to build the knife and then collect when I ship it. If the guy happens to have changed his mind, I can always sell it to someone else.

I just had the motor burn up on my only belt grinder. I'm very glad I don't have a bunch of deposits to refund because I dropped a bunch of cash on a new bow and won't be able to do much knife work done until I get the grinder repaired. Of course for me it's just a hobby - not a living.

I have known Steve for 16 years and done business with him. I also live about an 1.5 hours from him. He is a stand up guy . If there are delays , there is a legit reason. He lives in a very rural area of WV where weather is a factor. I understand the comments and I have been in that situation.Steve will do his best  if he is able.

Yes thanks again to all who responded... I'm so glad I got into this sport and not golf like my wife wanted me to... A much nicer group of guys in trad archery than in golf lol...

Plus you can shoot targets and hunt with a bow. Really tough hunting with a golf club.

You don't wanna know what I knocked down with a golf club when practicing ....

Like others have stated Steve is a top notch person. We all need to keep in mind when dealing with one person show, if they get ill or behind there is only one person doing the work. Steve's work is second to none and if you can wait this one out he will not dissapoint you.
