Funny, I have threaded so many forks, including at the local coop just recently. It is strange that someone managed to screw that up for you. It is neither difficult nor requires a particular skillset.
Long before Park steerer cutters, we used an old steel headset part to cut against. Not only was the cut square, but threading the part back off cleaned up the thread ends.
It is quite possible that I just spent all my bike mechanic shop time among highly skilled and well equipped people, but it really amazes me sometimes how little luck folks have getting a standard bike mechanic job done.

not many of any style with 1-1/8" steerers, but most would be threadless steerers if I did keep one...but will take a look.
So details needed: do you want threaded or un-threaded?
Do you know the steerer length you need?
this 385mm dimm: is it measured from center of hub axle to where on the uni-crown? (might be easier to just say what size wheel it's for: 26" or 700C/"29er")
With canti-brake mounts or no?

Unworthy1, I would be interested in a fork with chrome lug and socks or full chrome 1” threaded,
approx 6 3/4” steerer, no eyelets. Thanks for throwing the offer out!
