I just returned from the Blade Show, and must say I was amazed at the support I received from makers and collectors alike. Believe me, I had no idea so many people liked what I was doing with KI. Yes, I know KI sells more copies per issue than Blade or TK, but I did know I had such support.
Spoke with Bruce Voyles, who says he will be guiding KI in the future. I wish him luck.
What are my plans for the future? A journalist friend and I are working on a totally new cutlery magazine, that may be called International KNIVES. It will be a fresh departure from the other packages out there, and will be an improvement over KI. We are working with investors at this point, and will keep you informed.
All I can promise is if you liked KI, you will love this new magazine. While we have some definite ideas of what the mag will look like, I would like some prompt feedback from listers. Please tell me what you would like to see in a cutlery magazine. What kind of articles appeal to you most? Come out and say it! More tech stuff, more how-to's, more evaluations, and I mean real evaluations, more what? Let me hear from you. I know what I want in a top-flight knife magazine, but I am not the consumer. You are! And I have to please your needs, not mine. Thanks for listening, and I appreciate the chance to express myself on this forum.
Years ago, if you recall, we published a couple of pieces or so on the internet, not being afraid to involve this avenue in the magazine. In short, I wasn't afraid of the "competition."
Thanks, Bud Lang
