Lol. In all fairness, I know CS can be an easy target. Maybe going out on a limb, but I'll say that I really do like the CS products I've purchased-- for the money, they've held up far more than their end in use. I also happen to think the Tri-Ad lock is brilliant.
On another note, in having entered the CS Challenge the last two years (stick fighting) and unexpectedly meeting L.T., his excitement about tools/weapons matched what I've seen in promotional vids of past. It wasn't like he was trying to sell me on anything, it felt more like he was as genuinely enthralled as any of us get about gear. I was too busy to pay attention this year, but last, he kept a beauty of a sword on his side the entire day. I didn't start with CS knives when I began acquiring blades nor does it end there, but I do appreciate. Oh and Mr. Jackson, the shovel throwing event was actually pretty cool
