Since you mentioned
beachmaster
, I believe he mentioned something about honor in an earlier post, where’s the honor let alone a good conscience in promoting for a company with the negative history that SK! has… a negative history that they have earned by their actions.
You say that he states that they make a good knife but have major issues to fix, SK! has had years to fix those issues and have yet to do so… the only logical explanation for not fixing the issues are they’re either inept or just don’t care as long as the uninformed are willing to send them interest free loans for a knife that has a “who the hell knows when you’ll get it” delivery date.
That being said, I’ll have to disagree with your “shilling behavior” and “objective view point” comments, it’s obvious that one is and one isn’t.
One of SK!’s problems from the beginning was taking payments up front and lying about delivery dates, a problem that still exists to this day… again, why promote for a company like this.
There are several companies/makers that build a good knife and are upfront about their delivery times.
RMK… 5 to 6 year wait with a $50 deposit last I checked, payment in full not due until the order is complete.
CRK… again a 5 to 6 year wait and unless I’m mistaken there’s no deposit required and payment in full not due until the order is complete.
WK… a 4 to 9 month wait depending on what is ordered with no deposit required and again payment in full not due until the order is complete.
Those are just a few of the many companies/makers that in my opinion are much more deserving of the free promo time that was given to SK!.
