AND RIGHT AFTER THAT....Thank you very much for posting the press-release, lot's of information i had not known before.
What is even more humorous is that he still tries to say he makes things for secret service, CIA, Special ops, you name it. And people somehow believe it ! McClung has stated that he worked as a rocket scientist !! Infers that he was some sort of special ops operative etc. Fact is, he was never in any military service in his entire life and was never anything more than a warehouse worker at the company that worked in the aerospace industry. No Dark Genius, no talents other than being able to spew a line of BS whenever needed1st time I heard of this company was last night, a model of their's was on the exchange for $1400, I lmfao, I would not have paid $50 for it, but, I guess it was made to specifications for a secret service buddy of his, and only 20 made, so it's probably "worth" more than even what he paid and is asking for it. It's beyond comprehension how absolute and complete suckers people can be. But their out there.
Just know you'ld enjoy this...I truly hate the drama (even if self-induced). I think the "legendary" reputation was grossly inflated, but I can say McClung ...knives and designs were pretty solid from my perspective...

I truly hate the drama (even if self-induced). I think the "legendary" reputation was grossly inflated, but I can say McClung was very helpful for me personally. I've had and carried a PATAK for the last half of my military career; all over South America, three combat tours, and a daily EDC companion. I simply love that knife and it's been through hell and back right along with me. As much as I love his sheath, it cracked on me during a deployment and Kevin graciously sent me not one, but three replacements for various carrying configurations. That kind of support gets my appreciation. Unfortunately when I was looking at current prices (collector's prices), my PATAK wasn't something I could replace if needed...it's now a Safe Queen and gets used sparingly. The PATAK was, IMHO, the perfect belt knife for me and my job. Despite all the drama and issues involving the various businesses and practices, his knives and designs were pretty solid from my perspective...

Leave it to cable tv to turn the art of knife making into a joke.Not sure if this is already known but I saw this while scanning the channels earlier.

I guess ‘ole Barry could of made so much more money if he came up with a better back story, gave away more knives to military types in hopes of free hype/advertisement. And used “state of the art” steel like all these other guys.
