Magazine Article

Just picked up the magazine, flipped through it and immediately recognized the big chopper of yours I'd seen on the forums, the article calls it a "showstopper" and for good reason too.

Great job and congratulations!!!
 
I haven't seen it yet. I'm continuing to be lame about sending my subscription request in, so I have to wait for the newsstand. :)

I'm pretty sure the sgian dubh, the Puget Sound (evolution of the wilderness model 2), the trail knife, and the slim finn necker are all in there in some form.

The trail knife has a home, but the other three actual knives from the article are here. I have been waiting to put them up since they are "the actual knives in print". So I should get them listed on the website soon.
 
Yeah I used to read Tactical Knives all the time just cause there wasn't much else, but I haven't been getting it lately. I guess I will have to check out this issue.
 
I get more out of some parts of tactical knives than I do out of some parts of Blade. Some of the technical stuff in Blade is good, but the overall atmosphere isn't where my knifemaking has been aimed at.

Tactical knives does, sometimes, get a bit too "tactikool" in spots- for me. But with Steve's ongoing inclusion of wilderness and field tactical, it's got a LOT of very good information and very good articles.

I'm not averse to fighting and combat knives, and do make some, so I may have more appreciation for that side than a purely utilitarian W&SSer. But both sides are well covered, and I think that (among others, but of special note I've been keyed on all of these)- Steve, John, and Joe have done a very good job of bringing the practical side of outdoors tactical to light. In fact, when I was just starting to look at the magazines, It was one of Steve's editorials on Nessmuk and the overdone emphasis on the "nessmuk knife" (often to the exclusion of the folder and hatchet!) that got me into really reading cover to cover. That editorial, in a roundabout way, also helped me have the confidence to call the full tang leukus "leuku bushcrafters."

I've made a couple knives influenced by looking through TK and saying "well, that'd be a cool knife if you took all the sharp angled point bits on the handle away". And it's yet to be seen is Gunny's column will win me over or if I'll read it every quarter so I can argue with it in my head.

I'd love to see a modification of the Seneca Run sponsored by TK- that would be pretty bitchin. Chopping, batoning (maybe, it's got issues in drama circles these days), lean-to framing, food prep, rope cutting- just a small course for time, using different people and different knives. Sort of a bushcraft decathlon.
 
So which issue of TK? I didn't see it in the May issue, but I wasn't looking very hard either.....
 
It's the next issue- subscribers are getting it in the mail already. I'm still newsstand bound for that, but the owner said about 2-3 weeks.
 
Good deal Christof, :thumbup: :cool: :thumbup: ...glad to see you getting some press.


I like the fact that you dance to a different drummer, your knives always show bit of your personality, as well as being first rate tools.

Congrats, Christof! I`m a subscriber, but have not got my issue yet, looking forward to it!
 
Christoph! Congrats!!! Just saw the article. Nice job bro.
 
Thanks Andy, Mike, everyone.

We're still balanced between excitement and nervousness- I've been full time for a while, but this is bringing it home for real
