Very interesting and informative read! I'm seriously considering purchasing an ESEE-3 in the near future.
 
IW: What trends are currently influencing the knife market?

JR: In all honesty, the knife industry is about 99 percent bullshit. We sell knives every day to people who will never use them. Knife buying is more of a want than a need.

I grew up on a farm carrying a three-bladed "Old timer" pocketknife. It did everything I needed and got used daily. All these new weird shapes and designs that keep coming out are made just to have something new and "tacticool." Most companies refuse to speak the truth and just say, "the reason we designed this is because some mall ninja would think it's cool and spend money on it."

Once you get in the real world of knife use, whether it's butchering a deer or building a fire, you will see that a simple, basic knife design is all that's really needed to perform the task.

He used the words "tacticool" and "mall ninja" I'm the same parsgraph. Something tells me Jeff is a member here :) that made my day. I really need to get an esee
 
Rather than a link and run reading assignment, how about a brief summary of what it is you want people read? Your own opinion on the topic? Maybe some other insight?
