Is This A Good Blade?

No worries, roadside, I was being tongue-in-cheek. Note the wink and grin smilies after my line. Like this: ;) :D
 
No worries.

The real fact is we have to look at everything

Our shoes - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
Our socks - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
Our t-shirts - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
Our pants - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
Our underware - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
Our hats - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
Our gloves - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
Some of us wear dresses and they - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
The computer you type on - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
The nice Ipod you listen to - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.
The mobile phone you have - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.

And alot of knife manufactures even though they have a US name - Are cheap pieces of crap made in China.

And where did we buy all this crap from? Probably Wallmart.

The quality of goods from China to the US or second class, they send their first rate products to Europe and the US gets lower grade items.

Why? Because we like cheap pieces of crap?

I don't think so, but sadly no one else has the supply at the price that we are willing to pay.

Who makes all the cheap pieces of crap we all buy all the time, most likely kids who work for a bowl of rice a day. But hey go WTO. We trade on unfair grounds between our labor forces and our laws on labor but hey lets put us all in on the same level on trade globally now right?

Why can't any American buy a t-shirt made in America? Because they last longer, look better, support American jobs, keeps money in our own country, but cost to much for us to buy, they don't sell them at WallMart. The general public wants low prices, they don't care who was forced to work to make it or how the working conditions were, they don't care that it is cheap and will wear out because when it does they'll go buy a new one.

And the cheap crappy knife, well it fits the trend.
 
That is a good thing. It is good to talk about products and raise customers questions and discuss matters.

Is this your knife forum? I noticed that you are a monitor, so you're involved with it?

And I see that Bernard Levine is a member as well, that is pretty huge. Is Bernard Levine just a member or is this in association with him aswell?

Roadside,

The moderators here do not own the forum, and many supervise a particular subforum with more a more specific focus. So, the moderators are members who are volunteers only. Bernard is one of them as well.

The forum is owned by one person (screenname "Spark"), who is the sole authority here. Anything the moderators or members say here are their own views,and not necessarily the views nor endorsed by the forum owner, nor is Bladeforums.com in any way liable for their views, posts, or actions. As you know, anyone can sign up for free as a registered user and post here. It's a public-access forum but privately-owned which means access can be denied to those who do not follow the rules, which we moderators are given means to enforce at various levels.

So, that's how we operate. If you want to advertise your business, click on "enhance your forum experience" and you can purchase a dealer membership.

Roadside, you seem like an okay guy, actually. I don't personally approve of selling knives that are unauthorized copies of designs owned by others. But you do sell many legit knives.

We have seen many charlatans come through, and there are signs that trigger our suspicions sometimes, but that's because many have been burned in the past. So, please forgive my rush to judgment, but understand that this site has almost 108,000 possible consumers for you worldwide, and we've witnessed pretty much everything, and we ferociously support only legit dealers, manufacturers, and makers. In this game, it's up to a new dealer, manufacturer, or maker to overcome the automatic suspicion we feel, and if you do, you have access to many, many buyers. But everyone is spooked until convinced otherwise. No way around that. It's the same in any biz: you must build customer confidence.

With regard to my friends dropping cameras that are $400 well, Jeremy is the web designer and optimizer for Orvis. He is a avid fishermen and www.fliesandfins.com is his hobby website that is very popular among fishermen to tell their stories and talk with one another. The videos that Jeremy does while he is out are so popular that advertisers buy them for quite alot of money so the $400, well is a write-off, and not important but a fact of filming their content.

Hey man, I was only kidding about the 400 buck camera being on the lake. Theres plenty of people around here that appear to use 1000 dollar knives to chop wood so, whatever floats their boat i suppose:D.
 
Prop to you man. If no one else will say it, I gotta hand it to you for being down to earth and doing what ya think is right.

Let me ask, everyone who is on the Cold Steel hating bandwagon, if Lynn stepped up and said all this would you still hate them? I wish he would...

Anyway props to you man. Way to defend your company1 :)

Is it a good knife? I doubt it.

Is the design a ripoff? Yes.

Should you buy one? No.

The website in question also fails just about every test of legitimacy: no actual person's name, no explaination of ownership, no real e-mail address, no street address, no phone number. The domain name was registered less than two weeks ago... and is probably just the latest in a long series of throw-away names used by the owner; register a name, use it for a few months until the name gets a bad rep, then throw it away and pick out a new one. The domain registration gives a yahoo e-mail address, probably another throw-away. The domain registration gives a phone number that's listed to True Mt Zion Holiness Church in Houston, TX. And get this: The registrant's postal address is a vacant, for-sale house in North haven, CT, your's for $334,900... move-in ready; you can take a video tour of assistedknife.com via the links below.

The website itself is hosted on a discount web-shopping ISP.
