Cold Steel Strider rip-0ff

As for the retard who thinks Paul Bos does the stamp, if you knew squat about knifemaking you'd know better.

Personally, I think you're all trying to compensate for your own shortcomings by trying to drag a better person down to your own miserable level of existence.

Now, all you hot shot keyboard commandoes (including Thompson and MadDog) who want to badmouth Mick for having done this or not having done that

Honorable men have friends; weasels have opinions.

Why is it that, when a knifemaker has posted, on a public forum, that he is a "combat vet", and that is later called into question by conflicting documentation, on yet another public forum, and people then ask questions to clarify what the truth is, they are berated and called names, by even the "esteemed colleagues" of the knifemaker in question?

and here you some it up right his claims are called into question he built this macho rep on his combat experiance and then we find out that its shit and everyone wonders why we are upset every knife maker copies another in some form or another thats nothing new infact what mick strider did is nothing new nor what lynn thompson has done. they are both getting what they reap.:jerkit: :jerkit: lots and lots of slack.
 
I can eat metal and crap a better knife than a CS! If you own one, hang it on a wall and play D&D. I wouldn't depend on a knife made by a backstabber!
 
well look any knife in a combat zone is better than none at all it doesnt matter what brand or maker it is. what it comes down to is the most skilled and determined will win history proves that talk to a lot of marines and they still swear by the kabar personally ill do whatever it takes for me to survive and if i have to die your goin with me. but when you have a guy that makes combat claims then makes a knife and uses his dreamed up claims to sell it should appologise to every one who bought one. cold steel makes an ok knife strider makes an ok knife on the battle field the maker dont matter the fighter makes the knife not the knife the fighter the problem is that strider lied about his creditials and now he is paying the price.

Mr. Hossom is an honorable man too. Is that now being called into question? Vaako? Please explain. I don't much care for the inference.

I'll be glad to. Everyone is entitled to their opinions of course and what matters, I believe, is how well a person can substantiate their own.

Notice what Mr. Hossom said:

According to Mr. Hossom having an opinion on a subject, makes a person a "weasel".

I found this ironic and brought it to his attention with my reply:

So your opinion that Strider is a great guy makes you what, exactly, Mr. Hossom?

That's not of course what Mr. Hossom meant. What he probably meant to say was, "anyone who has an opinion I disagree with is a weasel."

...but that's not what he said. I was just taking a shot at his sloppy logic. Instead of discussing the issue, he's trying to silence other views through outright viciousness. It's forum bullying at its finest

Because that's what it is on Mr. Hossom's part. Just look at his reply to me:

Jerry Hossom said:
It makes me someone, unlike yourself and others here, who doesn't hide behind a screen name tossing crap at someone better than himself, about whom he knows nothing and to whom he is unwilling to make such an accusation in person. So what does that make you? I think it's obvious.

Mr. Hossom, what it makes you is a pushy, obnoxious jerk, a classic forum bully, with a bully's characterstic vindictive streak. If you believe having an opinion makes a person a "weasel", then you must be a weasel for having that opinion. You really didn't see that one coming. :D

Even so, there is absolutely cause for you to be calling people "weasels" and "retards" and "keyboard commandos" simply because you don't like what they say or because they keep reminding everyone of things you'd like the public to forget about your friend Mr. Strider. That kind of immaturity is a very poor and probably sadly accurate reflection of your character as a person.

Since you mentioned it, people like you are the reason people like me "hide behind a screen name". I've already seen how people like you act when you lose an argument and get shown up as the ignorant loud-mouths you invariably are.

Your behavior on this thread is a great reflection of that and I have little desire to have someone like you trying to up the ante in the physical world. You're not worth the thousands in legal bills your stupidity will ultimately cost me. Hopefully that will answers your question.

On a related issue, a number of people have mentioned how Lynn Thompson's lousy attitude and name-calling have made them boycott his products. Your name calling and lousy attitude just cost you my business, Mr. Hossom. It's a pity because I happen to like a number of your designs. You're a much better knifemaker than Mr. Strider. However, I'd rather not buy from someone like you.

Feel free to continue calling me and everyone else you dislike names. All you're doing is putting yourself in the same class as Lynn Thompson who does the same thing.
 
I'm Sorry Mr. Vaako, You are a Forum Bully.

Not Mr, Hossom.

I have read and re-read this thread and You are one of the people here that keeps bringing up[ and misstating the issues.

Mr. Hossom is standing up for a Friend, with his own name.

I am not easy to rile but You sir are the one here that sounds like a Weasel.

I am confident that Mr. Hossom will not miss your business as I am just as Confident that Mr. Strider will not miss it either.

I am amazed that you and others here actually think that this thread will in any way effect anyones business.

Do You really think you have that kind of Power ?

You don't.


With all Due Respect,

Jim.
 
Gentlebeings, it's easy to get carried away in the heat of discussion, but let's try to remember what we're talking about, huh?

Hint: We're not here to call each other names.

Hint #2: Just because somebody else smears mud all over himself doesn't mean you have to smear mud all over yourself too.

Strider makes an exellent knife for who it intended for. CS imports a piecer made of spring steel and slams an American vet while pushing it. I would rather buy a knife from a criminal mind set than someone that would want to exploit it for 30 buck a pop!
 
As I said to Jhillas, an opinion is only as good as your ability to substantiate it, Jim.

Please show which issues I've misstated. Quote me directly, please. Then post the facts which show I've misstated them. It's your opinion. Now let's see you back it up with the facts.

After that, please also show where I've been engaging in Mr. Hossom's brand of name calling and abusiveness. If I was behaving like Mr. Hossom, I need to call at least one person a "retard" and everyone else I disagree with a "weasel" and a "hot shot keyboard commandoe" (sic).

So, it's not just me. He went after 3guardsmen for much the same reason. He disagreed with something we said, so naturally that merits not a factual correction (which I defy him to produce) but schoolyard name-calling.

I am amazed that you and others here actually think that this thread will in any way effect anyones business.

Every person who refuses to buy a maker's products has negatively affected that maker's business by the total amount of that maker's products they intended to buy. If I refuse to buy Jerry Hossom's "Narc" and his "Easterner" because he was abusive and rude that's just cost him $500. When over time, I refuse to buy any of his other knives, each "negative purchase" just cost him more.

To an extent, you're right. Individually, each individual boycott is like a grain of sand. It's tiny but collectively enough of them can smother.

...which is why some people are refusing to buy from Lynn Thompson.

@ DXC.

I expected that sort of remark from Jerry Hossom. So I did see it coming, just not from you. ;)

Now let's all go back to slagging Lynn Thompson for calling someone a felon. :rolleyes:
 
Id buy a combat knife from a hardcore felon. They are more likely to know what works than some armchair commando.

His knives look very "military" and he does give discounts to the military. If he gives freebies away as some have claimed here, so much the better. He definitely gave the military a very good deal on his folders because he is, by his own admission, pushing a portion off the price off onto his civilian customers. Generous people who have lots of cool looking toys to give away always have friends.

The military connection is easily overblown and makes very good hype for those who are impressed by such things. Blackhawk Products has dozens of NSNs for their products, including knives. Their CQD Mark 1 is military issue. Mission Knives has NSNs and have their products issued too.

By contrast, the late Bill Moran was never issued a military contract or an NSN in his entire career.



So your opinion that Strider is a great guy makes you what, exactly, Mr. Hossom?

I have talked to Mick extensively about what he did when he was in the Army........He is the real deal.

But you arent going to believe me, or anyone else......are you????? :(

Hope you dont get struck by lightning................

Do you really mean to imply that you don't think a Knifemaker without a criminal record can make a functional knife? Are you sure that's a smart position to take?

What, may I ask, does a "hardcore felon" know more about, as it relates to the design and manufacture of a "combat knife", than a non-criminal Knifemaker? What if the "hardcore" felony involved a gun and not a knife? I suppose then that you would think that said "hardcore felon" would be more capable of designing and manufacturing a "combat" firearm than Gaston Glock, too, right?

Perhaps you meant that the time served in prison, by the "hardcore felon", would have taught the "hardcore felon" how to produce excellent, combat-ready blades? Well, if I were remotely interested in shivs/shanks made from glass or plastic sporks, I might agree with you.

Perhaps you really meant that a "hardcore felon" knows more about "combat knife" USE than a non-criminal Knifemaker? If that was the case, we might also be in agreement?

However, if you actually meant you would prefer a "combat knife", designed and manufactured by a "hardcore felon", rather than a skilled, non-criminal Knifemaker, you're line of reasoning has got to be one of the dumbest I've seen on these forums!:jerkit:

How could he??? In you're prior post, you stated Mick Strider had won "combat medals", and then later, Michelle concluded you were confusing him with his partner, Duane Dwyer.:confused:

As far as the last line of you're post, about the "lightening", I don't think that type of comment is necessary. Furthermore, it adds nothing creative to the debate, and furthers the anti-Strider crowd's perception of the negative behavior of the Strider faithful.
