I was told by an email from Kris that they would be sending the knife at the beginning of this week. I still haven't received it but I'm not sure what shipping method they used. I'm looking forward to it, since I don't even know what the new design is. I'll post my initial impressions right after I get it, with a review to follow.

Hello,

Just finished up Mr Davidsons MEUK talonite Knife for him and gave it to my stepson(KRIS) to send out. It is Getting Mailed on 11-12-99 so you should have it by Next week. Its being sent UPS ground.

I will Make sure to have KRIS mail Mr Davidson with the Tracking Number on Friday.

Thanks, Allen Blade

PS. KRIS is all excited about shipping out one of his first knives. He told me he hopes Mr Davidson likes it. I assured him i though he would!
 
What a heart warming personal interest story.

But, considering some of the previous posts, it's difficult to take any of this seriously.

Allen,
Any chance of a scan of the new design?
I'm most interested to see what you've come up with.
Any other info would be mucho cool too.
Good Luck in the new endeavour fellas!

Is MEUK going to have a web site?, or brochure? Also try to ignore rude remarks kid they aren't meant to be helpful to anyone.
 
They've already pledged "no more Dog clones". That this is a total revamp on the design is a good sign, we should withhold judgement until we see the next version.

I am sorry, but I feel strong words are necessary.

Did I miss the election of you guys to the post of "Internet Knife Police"? BACK OFF

How can you look yourself in the mirror? Don't you realize that your negativity is a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you look for sh*t, you will find it.

Give these people some space, use that time to remove the stump, dismount from your high horse, and pray that all will be well.

Or if you are a cynic and cannot trust your fellow man because of your own shortcomings, wait to jump on them until they have screwed up.

Respectfully and Sincerely Yours,

MDP,

HOOAH. Well said.

Well I've seen the new version now, Allen EMailed me a pic. I can put it online tonight.

No matter what else is said, it's an attempt to "get away from his Doggish roots". He's using the same basic mechanical contruction on the grip but the overall profile is more like an old Loveless small utility knife than anything Mad Dog ever did, with maybe a faint hint of Bob Dozier or something. Not to the point of cloning though. You can still see "Mad Dog influences" but that's a lot better than "slavish copying". I wish I could post it now but I didn't have time this morning from home.

The blade shape isn't quite like anything Kevin did either, neither was the last one - both are flat ground. There's still that bit of Doggish choil but it's not exreme. The biggest problem before was that seriously Dogoid grip combined with faint Doggishness on the blade all added up way too close to "clone"; with the grip totally re-shaped I think it's acceptable. I'm not quite sure yet, but it's possible this is the same knife with a massively re-worked grip shape and handling; it made a difference and should be fine for the type of knife involved.

I'm assuming that as Allen develops he'll drift further from Doggish roots. As is, it's at least clear he's trying.

Jim
 
RKnight is the root of it, but I guess the general tone of posts past, and anyone who is slavering over the idea of Allen Blade failing.

If that does not apply to you, please forgive me. This issue just gets me very worked up.

I don't think you are one of his ill-wishers Uncle Bill, so not you.
 
I am very glad to hear that MEUK is getting off to a good fresh start and I am anxious to see pictures of the new design.

Do the original pricing and arrangements that were Emailed still apply?

Oh good, he's modified the choil even more than I remembered, I was in a hurry this morning when I saw the pic.

IS that the same specimen as last time but with major mods? No biggie if it is.

Jim

Nice job Allen, I really like it. Glad to see some Talonite put to good use.

Did you copy that design from a 1000 year old stone knife I have in my collection? ha ha ha
