Jim Skelton Custom Knives?

[palonej]

Exactly what he did on that cigar forum.

Here is a post I came across from another forum. This sums it up for me!

He steals money from people to fund his spending habits. If you follow the trail of his history, his standard pattern is:


Get into an expensive hobby. Spend like a Saudi teenager. Run out of money. Cook up a sob story and borrow money from people. Blow that money and never pay it back. Become a pariah in that hobby community. Jump ship to another expensive hobby and start at step A.

Never heard of him before, but this is an all too familiar story!

Here is a link to that cigar forum I think. I can't access it here at work because its "Alcohol and Tobacco" content.

Would it not be EPIC if that TV show Forged In Fire did an episode with
Jim Skelton and Jared West ?

 

[goldie]

^ That would be comical; Jared would just look at his watch,waiting for the knife to arrive from China.....

I could not resist.....when it says very talented knifemaker brutally fun
to record, I am not Jim's fan

 

[Chefget]

Actually I'm a bit insulted

Jim Skelton thinks that knife people are stupider than cigar and (cheap) watch people

The truth is that he is not an anomaly and that there are many, many people in the world just like him. He has a demographic and it isn't most of us. He will probably see some success selling to the many people out there who share his tastes, his values and his personality. It may be crazy, it may be sad but it may also be true.

We are interested in knives for what they are. Many others are interested in knives as status objects. They value them based on how others perceive them, what name is on them and how much they cost. To each their own. I prefer tools that represent a good value, are extremely functional and come from ethical companies.

Lots of successful businessmen have questionable morality.

What kind of reasoning goes into putting a spike there ? That is a guaranteed accident waiting to happen.I hope he doesn't start designing guns the barrel might face the wrong way....

 

[shinyedges]

That guy is an idiot.

People don't always buy knives to use. They just collect them. This is probably the reason.

 

[goldie]

Theres a lot better knives to collect than that one,thats for damn sure....
