I've decided to start spreading a rumor about Steve Koontz

as you all may know Steve was the host of KnivesLive for Smoky Mountain Knife Works, and was fired last February after 26 years with the company, the last 7 as part of their broadcast. 6 months later, this past October, KnivesLive unceremoniously went off the air. We had a thread up about it at the time.

Well, as to the rumor, I have it on very good authority that Steve has embarked on a new venture which is going to see him on the air again - with a web broadcast service called KnivesTV.com. It's not broadcasting yet - but it's expected to be up and running by early March. I hope you all will join me in wishing him well.
 
Whatever else might be said about the products, I enjoyed and admired the guy's enthusiasm. He's like the Uwe Boll of knife sales. The product might not always be the best, be he seems to enjoy marketing them and is enthusiastic about it.

Red,

He didn't have much say over a lot of the product that went up there - and in this venue - he will have a lot of say. We think his personality does come through on the screen really well. He's a great guy!
 
I'm wishing him well and that he does great.....I won't be watching though. TV selling/pitching not my thing.

Free bump up though.;)
 
That's a good point DP, he sold what the company was offering. And I think he marketed it really well... when I was first getting into collecting about 10 years ago I was still pretty young and his show had an impact... many times I wanted to get one of those late night offers where I could get 20 knives in one deal.
