Anyone heard of this guy?

Not open for further replies.
I worked in the field as a tactical field operations specialist for the past 3 years.
The details of my work are classified and listed as "top secret" therefore i cannot divulge any information in regards to the work i have completed :)

all i can say is that a knife like the Razr looks like one helluva tool and i wish i had it during my ventures into the woods behind my house.. i mean into the unknown jungles of south america. :D

.....

seriously, i've hiked bc for a few years and never seemed to need anymore then a decent folder like my spyderco endura or a good fixed blade like my grohmann #4. in the backwoods a saw or an axe is an added bonus. i couldnt imagine carrying anything like the RAZR around while hiking or walking about in the marsh areas near my place or through the grand national parks which bc is famous for. although i do own large choppers in my collection like the HI khuk and RtakII, i've only ever seemed to need them when i go camping in backwoods. i have seen people walk around on the trails with ridiculous looking fixed blades or even what i think as unnecessarily large fixed blades (9inch+ for a regional park; 30 min hike tops) given the area they're travelling.

majority of people i know who serve in the armed forces seem to carry multitools first and foremost. some carry spydies or emerson folders and once in a while i've met a soldier who carries a large fixed blade.

i have to agree that the razr is ridiculously priced IMO. a busse could easily bought at that price i believe. Mr. J. Lightining, your website lists that you support the troops but i havent really seen anything on there about offering discounts to soldiers who may consider using your knife.

to the rest of the forum, please excuse my ramblings, just putting some thought into the thread.

:D that was probably me you saw walking the trails with a BK7 strapped to a drop leg holster, and a kuhkuri strapped to my pack. Then and again i was only using the park trails to access my hidey hole in the backcountry...

:D
 
lol bushman if i had seen you with a bk7 i woulda commented that you have a nice knife and lucky to have snagged one even though they are discontinued.
 
I thought this thread would have been LONG dead by now, but I check back in on it and it seems Mr. Lightning himself revived it with that funny post of his.

Mr Lightning / Peters / Operator Ninja.
After reading your last post I am embarassed for you. You create a wall of defense out of your "Scared Wife", and state over and over how distraught she is at all our "attacks and threats". Does she mind being your scape goat?

You suggest we do some serious apologizing to her for trashing HER company! Well Hell, maybe we have been wasting our time with you, maybe she will send someone a knife to test out since it is HER company. I also suggest she fire her web designer.

you stated "Since I do what I do".. well, what is it you do again? what is it you've done? we keep asking!

You stated that you dont judge anything unless you can spend a week with it in the bush. Considering that you wont send one out for testing and they have to be untouched for refund / return you make that impossible.

You even repeatedly state that She (your wife) reads you your emails, She is the one at the keyboard typing, She is relaying all the information. Sounds like SHE is the only literate one in the house. Quit messing with BS knives, go to adult education, learn to read and write yourself and when your done Ill recommend some great books on learning to craft knives and you can get started right the next time.

Mr. Peters in every city I ever policed in, there was that one house with that one old guy with the sign in his yard "Law enforcement has no jurisdiction here". But he had every number for every 00 super agent that ever existed, was a self proclaimed legal expert (just ask him). Had always had a way to over developed interest in anything police or military oriented gear wise, read every tom clancy novel while listening to his scanner and had a law suit pending against everyone. After reading your post I realized YOUR THAT GUY!! But I can promise you've never done anything yourself! you fancy yourself a tactical super survivalist.. youve never done any of it!

I feel sad for ya! I really do

Beroya, great post.

Look, we know the guy will never admit this. The only thing that he feels threatened by is discovery of the truth.

We can look at his website and discern his M.O. On his custom knife page, he says he gets runs of knives from companies that have liquidated or gone out of business. Then he features a new knife from a very healthy and prosperous Cold Steel.

All the knives on his site are listed as modified pieces from various manufacturers. He just forgot to list TOPS on the RAZR knife page. But it's as obvious as all the other modified pieces.

I'm satisfied that we have identified him as a fraudulent businessman. He will never take this to court, because the truth would be discovered. We didn't slander him - we identified him accurately and truthfully.

Game over.

Checkmate, J Lightning.
 
I figured it out!!!

He has traveled from Asia to the Alps in Austria, and all over the US.

He is therefore a: CUTCO SALESMAN!!!:D

Operator.....:jerkit::barf::rolleyes::thumbdn:
 
I wonder if he is a member of the same tactical operators association as those two 'special operators' who live in California?

;)
 
With all due respect, the difference is that the California guys did actually serve, whatever the capacity, and they make their own knives, and they do that extremely well. It's a lot more than some of the internet folks who have jumped on them have ever done. However you feel about them, these are facts. Most of the detractors have never met them, and are going by hearsay.

So, to be fair, that comparison doesn't apply.

Except that they make their own knives, and high quality and tough knives at that, I'd have to say that there are more similarities than differences. No one in this thread has met Johnny L. either. Also, since there was, eventually, verifiable proof in the other occurence, it seems to me that the accusation of hearsay is, at the very least, as applicable in this thread as it is in the other.

Except that I know Duane well, he is my friend, and I haven't seen proof of anything -- in all these years, he has never claimed to be more than a simple Marine to me. Every Marine's first MOS is as a rifleman. He is also an SRT officer in California. Not just because he's said so, but because I've called for him at his HQ and they have confirmed it. That's far more then most people have done. LEOs on this thread know that background checks are pretty damn exhaustive.

However, before this gets ugly, the biggest thing that sucks for me personally is that many of the Strider detractors here are also my good and trusted friends. Oy!!!

Mick, I only met once or twice briefly. Don't know about him so much, and can't say one way or the other.

Back to topic, my jumping on Johnny L without having met him is the same bad in a way, though, but the evidence of fraud all the way around is right in front of our faces.

True........regardless of what you may think about Mick and Duane and their colorful personalities, the guys do make or have their own knives made to their designs and specs and they are, by all accounts, highly servicable cutting tools, even if you, like I, don't neccesarily like a lot of the design elements. And they seem to by trying to broaden their horzons and expand their skill sets as knifemakers too, which is always a good thing.
 
I was on vacation and missed this show. . . but now I have read the entire thread and can make the following statement. . .

What a low down, lying, talentless scumbag*.

Not to mention stupid, since he doesn't have a single clue about knives, steel, heat treating, or anything else. Need evidence? Look at his/her/it's website. First plug your nose to avoid being overcome by the putrid stench of BS spewing from his lying mouth.

*Scum: Latin for "Douche"
 
Rat, dammit, you had to be on vacation. I would have loved reading your savagely funny comments throughout this...:D
 
Not only is rat funny, he is absolutely, 100%, without a doubt...........correct!!!
