I only feel bad because I'll miss SHOT this year too... I love the show and those few days in Vegas... :cool:
 



I've been using the moniker "Stickman" on firearm and knives forums since 1999, I've been shooting pictures for weapon and accessory manufacturers just about that long as well. I've also used it as a pen name for writing since probably the mid 2000s.

I have no idea who the Cold Steel guy is, but it would have been nice if he had looked around a bit before he jumped on using the same name. If he already goes by Beamer, it seems that would stand out enough. Its not like its the end of the world or anything, but I get tired of answering IM/DM and email explaining that is not the same guy and to the best of my knowledge his career path did not include MIL / LE or anything similar. My user name started in martial arts and continued to follow me through my life journeys.

Again, its not the end of the world by any stretch, nor do I expect everyone to know me.

I didn't make the connection until now , but yeah , think I've seen your username elsewhere before . :)

Apparently GSM doesn't worry about using someone else's name . They just introduced a folder called the "Drifter" .

CRKT has had a folder of that name for years .

Idk You from Adam.......? Just seen a few pics/posts

But, seeing or hearing that nickname..... Id figure it was you too.


But realistically in the world...... Probably a Ton of duplicates of Us

You'll be ok, I'm sure.
 
Look the CS guy is giving away some "Hellish Blades" so it's all OK.... of course they could be Hellishly Bad.... :D
CS Stickman is probably just a guy trying to make a living .

He's not in charge of any policies at GSM , so far as I can tell .

If he has to hype their new 2022 product line at their CS SHOT booth , I don't envy him . :(

"Could be"? 😂🤣

Disclosure: I've never been a CS or LT "fan boy". However, I do own a few CS products. Mostly machetes, a few KUDU and OKIPI, a not Bowie Bushmaster, a FINN BEAR, and a "G.I. Tanto.

IMHO, CS started going downhill even before the company was sold. Downgrading the KUDU blade steel from 1.4116 KRUPP to 5CR15MoV, dropping the FINN BEAR, and other budget hunting/general purpose camp/woods fixed blades, the OKIPI, and the more popular/useful machetes like the "Heavy Machete" ... I didn't see the Bushmaster on their website when I looked last month. I don't know if an oversight, or if they've been dropped as well. I do know I didn't see anything worth giving them my money for.
 
I have Warcraft Tanto and Mini Tac Tanto - happy with both and use both, but both have old logo, and custom sheaths as factory ones are garbage.

I don't plan on buying more CS, especially with new logo, and especially with new logo.

The new designs are some AliExpress or gas station mall ninja crap.
Price/quality here in Europe can't match the likes of LionSteel or Viper or Manly...

Acting in new CS videos is really forced and cringey, especially with that girl who looks uninterested and bored through entire video...

Cold Steel can't even come up with new names for their own products
there have been 2 black sables and 2 oyabuns
pretty sad

side note: I emailed, called, messaged them about the advertised then pulled down mayhem model.
No answer or response. Maybe a fax would work??????????????
