Speaking only for myself, lack of interest is the farthest thing from the truth--for me, it is lack of funds but I plan on saving up. I stumbled upon one of your knives quite by accident, I was not even looking for this kind of a knife. In fact, my knives of choice were "hard use" folding knives in the vein of Emerson, the occasional Strider and the like. When I got the Kentucky Fieldmate in my hands, I found that it could not leave my pocket. So handy, and I have used it a thousand times. Knowing that it was handmade in the USA by one man is also a comforting thing. So, I don't know what else is going on in the knife community but I know that you have at least one new proud supporter. As stated in another thread, I've been eyeballing the pictures of the JK knives, the reviews, anything I could get my hands on. I will be buying more of your knives, God willing and the creek don't rise.
