Is Strider still in business?

They're preparing for the NY Knife Show and will respond to you when they have a chance, unless you didn't leave a VM or left them some silly question like "are you still in business?"
 
Ok, I have to get this straight, If I want to hear from Strider I have to:
Be respectful
Not ask questions about their current business status
Wait until it is convienient for them to respond to me
Hope that they are not attending any trade shows that week

What flavor is this Strider Kool-aid, because it smells like crap to me

Sarcasm aside, you speak as though you're contacting a large company like Benchmade. Strider Knives is just a few guys. So, yeah, if they are attending a trade show, you'll probably have to wait a bit longer than usual. I would expect the same of any knife maker. If they didn't go to trade shows, they would make less money, which means their knives would be more expensive. Also, I think respect is a requirement for speaking with anyone, unless they've done something to forfeit it.

The OP wasn't asking about their current business status. If I owned a company and someone called me up and asked, "Are you guys still in business (because I haven't been able to reach you so this is the only logical explanation)" I would be confused. If someone called me up and asked, "Are you guys still in business (I'm being facetious, and I'm pissed off that you haven't responded to me right away)", I would be a bit ticked off. It was one or the other.

The Strider guys are a great group. I've had the pleasure of speaking with Mick a few times. They put out kick ass knives, and AMAZING customs. If you don't like their product, or their service, don't buy em. No one's making you.
 
i have been slow at e mails but they have always fixed my knives with no charge,the last knife i sent in was really messed up by another person i got it in a trade,they called me and said i'm GTG with no charge....

Yeah. Josh wouldn't like that very much. Treat the Strider boys with respect and that's what you'll get in return.

What? hahaha
Attempting to contact a company is disrespectful now?

Pretty sure most respectable businesses try to treat potential customers with respect, no matter what.

I totally agree. Look what I was quoting, rather than read the quote out of context, and read my post 2 before this (the long one).

The business should always be respectful, yes. I just think the OP would have better luck with a different (read: more respectful) approach.

I never said that attempting to contact a company is disrespectful. You pulled that out of thin air.
