I honestly think we need a sticky that pretty much states the following:

When you enter the doors of our our forum you may get your feelings hurt and you may be called out if you do something stupid. We don't apologize for that and never will. However, if you have the intesinal fortitude to stick around this nut house then you will get real users and real experience to guide you along in your quest for knowledge and/or good-natured fun in a relaxed environment.

This forum is about learning skills, practicing those skills and using real tools to perform certain tasks. Sometimes we kill animals and trees. Sometimes we make bad jokes about controversial things. Many times we are sarcastic. And most all of the time we're politically incorrect, but there are no dumb questions here. With that said, anyone who asks questions should never wear their heart on their sleeve. Just because we may laugh at your expense, we mean no harm. The laughter goes away quickly. Hang around and suck it up and you will find the knowledge you seek from hard working, honest people that love knives and using them. This forum is more about a philosophy than it ever will be about ESEE Knives. That "philosophy" is not just about surviving 3 days in the woods but surviving every day life. We welcome all knives and users here. Period.

Bottom line: If you don't have enough balls to play in our world, then don't. Go away. Haunt some other piece of bandwidth. We are not begging for members or customers, but those members and/or customers that are part of this little subforum are family to us. And I assure you the people you meet on this forum are the cream of the crop. Most all of us would do well to listen and read what they have to say because we will learn from it. If, on the other hand, you get your feelings hurt then there is always the exchange forum that you can sell your ESEE knives and gear.

Welcome to the no bullshit world of ESEE Knives. Where the bullshit stays in the good-natured (and most always sarcastic) words typed on this forum - not in the quality of what we do with our tools or our training.

Onward!
 
Awesome posting man :thumbup:

Keep up that spirit and your great support on the forums :)
 
KNIVES?!

Is that what this forum is about?

Oh Crap!

I thought this was a forum to get help with my addiction to FarmAnimalFriends dot com
 
does this mean i can cuss or use simple letters/abbreviations only someone who cusses would understand, instead of using words out of a dictionary- if so "fornicate yeaaa" :jerkit: cause i love that smilie. did tactical tommie get his feelings hurt? im not busting the moderators huevos but i hate seeing my posts edited for simple things you can hear in a pg-13 movie. i know i know they are trying to keep it clean but with---> :jerkit: how can they edit the stuff i put??? i like your philosophy.
 
DeaEye,

Remember, you're new to the forum. You came on a little strong with your first posts. Not saying you did anything any worse than I or other members have done but people know us here, and know how to take us. This is not a "dues paying" thing by any means. But if you walk up to a campfire of folks you don't know and say something off the wall or strong then you're probably going to be looked at a little strange and migth even be told to go back to your own fire. If, however, you know the folks sitting around then they never think anything of what you say because they know who you are and how to take you. With that said, we do try to keep thing reasonably clean but all of us say things sometimes, but again, it's because we're known. Most folks just say, "There goes Jeff Randall again on another rant. Just leave him alone and he'll calm down,"
 
good point RAT- i better order one of your fire starters and some gas cause i like making my own fire :D and if you saw me come up to your fire you would probably throw one of your ESEE throwing knives at me

I think you'll fit in fine here :D
 
Well shucks, I've never come on strong in my whole life. Never used any of them swear words either.

And if you believe that. . . .

:D

Good write-up, Jeff. It applies not only here, but pretty much across the boards to all of BladeForums.
 
I like the statement Jeff. As has been said before and I'll say it again, Jeff Randall & EVERYONE at ESEE Knives are top notch folks!

All perfectly stated. But can I quote this part for my sig? That's f'ing priceless!!
 
With all the BS out there ( in the knife world and elsewhere) I'm sure glad I have a place to come to where I can hear, read, and see the real deal.
Down-to-Earth honesty is getting rare nowadays. I'm glad to see a whole bunch of it right here :thumbup:;)
