Hi,
I see a lot of what I consider to be hype, made either by makers or by those maker's fans. What are the most outrageous or humorous claims you have ever heard about a knife, a steel, or a maker's capabilities? What about a favorite chestnut of the martial artists--what is the most silly or most failed demonstration you have ever seen at a show or elsewhere? If you don't want to get specific, I will understand, but impersonations or barely changed stories will suffice where names can't or shouldn't be used.
Thanks in advance, we need a few laughs around here lately.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of the tyrant; it is the creed of slaves.
