When a thread goes from other than just expressing ones personal views to trying to impose ones views on someone else, I think it's gone too far. No one here needs to justify anything to anyone about anything. So now anyone that owns, likes, "is interested in buying" a Strider is now on the block. It went from sharp_edge asking about the knives... to Mick/Strider pile-on... to now, anyone who's foolish enough to own a Strider is "insert phrase". This is actually still sharp_edges thread, his request to talk about "just the knives" still trumps all of everyone's highly charged emotions on Mick Strider "the man". If everyone wants to be judge/jury of an individual's misrepresentation of service this probably isn't the thread for that. Take it up with Mick Strider. Nobody here has anything to do with that and aren't responsible for that in any way.
