The tactical movement has pretty much destroyed any individuality in the knife business.
Knives that are "hand made" have taken a back seat to knives that are made in a machine shop.
These knives work well, but have no "soul."
I do get tired of seeing all the black clothing, tattoos, pierced heads and mohawks.
But then- I'm a dinosaur, aren't I?
Oh they we there yesterday. The pierced, tattooed, goth types. And their equally strange army-booted girlfriends....some of the skankiest women I’ve ever seen! And the 600# tactical know-it-all’s who couldn’t get out of their chair more than once a day (for a chips, coke and cookie run) if their lives depended on it.
I hate to bitch, but it really was better when it was a knife show. The new powers that be running the show took over, what, about five years ago or so? Changed the whole format chasing the almighty dollar. They’ve about killed it.
