He also said he would sell me his remaining Part 4 blades but I came to find out he just barely sold them to someone else without even making me an offer.But that was my whole point in getting into glove building. I wanted SO bad to own a quality glove but couldn't afford almost $200 for a glove (plus shipping) and I knew there had to be others out there like me who wanted a great glove but at a more affordable price... so I jumped at the chance and I think I've been successful thus far. I have a full-time job and do not rely on the income from these gloves so I am more than willing to make very little profit on my work and based on the feedback from my customers, they're being considered high-quality gloves. Mind you, I'm still new to the scene but if you compare my old gloves with my new ones... it's night and day. Chris even told me he was "amazed" at how quickly I've been able to replicate and build a quality glove. That meant a lot to me, coming from him.So, I'm disappointed that he has not held true to his word with me.
