He might not think he has to be polite to customers 
Trouble with an 'attitude' is that folk like me, who've never purchased from him, probably won't bother even looking at him for a buy now I've read this. Shame, he MAY just have been having a bad day...

I want to know if anyone has had dealings with these people? were they happy? did they find them communicative?
Hi,
Although I haven't dealt with Framar for some years I have purchasd several knives from him. I have spoken to him several times over the phone and have received nothing but kind words and excellent service from him.
Perhaps you just caught him on a bad day?
Tack

I bought a Project 1 from Framar many years ago, though I think they were actually called Framar Shooting World at the time.
I visited the shop and received honest, frank northern advice
No drama, no problem.

Yep, you are quite right, they were called Framar Shooting World, I haven't used them in years, but they were very good and had a very good reputation as well.
Sandbender see how it goes and let us know, it would be a shame if they have changed.
once upon a time they were arguably the best knife dealers in the uk. i've always found frank to be a pleasure to deal with. it's a little tiny shop and i wouldspend the first hour just drooling over the glass displaycases. i used to get all my knives from them. these days, though it pains me to say it, better advice can be found here, and better deals had elsewhere on the net. (if youre happy to shop internationally)

Errrr..... yeah, years ago I bought a Chris Reeves knife from them.
They were called Framar shooting world then (about 1990) and as I remember the service was just fine.
A few years later I ordered a Cold Steel Master Hunter for a mate and again the service was just fine.
Not done any dealings with them for years but would not worry about doing it again

Sorry.
I thought maybe you'd been into their shop and they'd ignored you. I hate that.
Problem solved...
Framer were under attack from an email virus, contact with the outside world has been restored.

Superb service, cannot recommend them highly enough.

I have only dealt with them once,I travelled 150 miles to buy a particular Randall knife that I was assured was available,when I got there the place was shut even though it was 11am,I left a note and a mobile number and they did ring me to apologise about the late opening,I called back later in the day and the knife I'd travelled to buy had been sold "months" before.I decided to buy another Randall that was in stock and was given a great deal,only problem is that my knife is still on their website for sale 2 years later ! Nice people but a little inept.
Sorry for joining so late. Yes - I've had dealings with Frank many years ago and he's always had time for pleasant chats with me - even if I never bought from him or visited the shop.
I used to deal with his oppo, Mark - but who left about 20 years ago or more and of which I never heard again.
