Yeah, I'm a huge Stern fan. Not sure what that has to do with anything, nor do I see it as a "concept to hide behind," any more than your own avatar. If you want to talk about something that actually IS a "concept to hide behind," let's start with Snody's white-boy gangsta lean.
I never said Snody was an idiot - I said he comes off like one, apparently by choice. I just don't get it. To each his own, and I certainly hope those who buy Snody's knives enjoy them - I just don't see myself joining that group.
Not going to thread jack, but as a longtime Howard listener, it's rather coincidental that you would pick the guy who is most often the but of jokes and victim of abuse on the show going back decades.
My avatar is a photo of me wearing a respirator, which is the real me every day. It is a great idea to separate ones lungs from friable carbon fiber, G10, vanadium, and all sorts of other toxins that occur when making knives.
I hope that your joining BF exposes you to the world of custom knives to the extent that you can:
1. Put your comments about a legendary maker in context despite your likely introduction to him in this very thread.
2. Someday come in contact with a Snody knife and inspect its quality, craftsmanship, and performance.
3. Stop putting artists in your little box of how they should behave, and judge them on their work product.
4. Develop a rudimentary sense of irony. You idolize a guy who flipped the script on the whole concept of talk radio by being different and real, and now you are shitting on a guy who has done the same to the knife world by being different and real.
At any rate, thanks for your comments. Keep 'em coming. Your support of Snody knives, I am sure, is much appreciated.
Stay up.
