Are knife magazines on the way out?

So here's my take.
You won't regret having spent some money on current knife catalogs instead.
They don't cost as much a magazine sub. would.
Besides, it's a fact that there will be some value in them in the future, eventually.
So come on 'n tell, ya'll just interested in techs 'n specs and not entirely on "destructive test" or where to buy more chinese knives?!
If the current rage of knives is towards Chinese manufacture, then I'll be equally damned to buy expensive magazines which feature nothing but sky rocketing prices of Chinese made knives. Or would those magazines be printed in China too? There's been a fair amount of books printed there.

Didn't Blade disappear for a while, maybe some time around when they changed from American Blade to just Blade?
Even with all the ads, I still hope they magazines stay around. I just enjoy having them in my hands and leafing through them to look at the photos.
Does anyone remember the old Gutmann Cutlery annuals? Those were my favorites when I was in high school and college. Even though they were essentially catalogs, they still had a lot of stories and articles that were fun to read. Most of them were goofy, but they were entertaining.

I find that most magazines are thin on content, heavy on advertising and very expensive.
Rather than spending money on a magazine, I would rather visit knife forums online, and pay a subscription to support a site like Blade Forums. I cannot intereact with other knife knuts with a magazine, but I can with the internet. One visit here online produces far more knife information than is possible from a knife magazine.

Too bad I won't be able to read it.
My high speed web connection happens to be my Motorola Q Windows Mobile phone. If the format you chose is Flash based (Macromedia) then I think you will be shutting out a large number of possible readers (there are no Flash plug ins for WinMob as of yet).
Do you know if your tech people will offer a plug in.
PS,
This was posted from my cellphone, and yes you CAN take it to the dad haven (bathroom).
