This is the current email that was sent out to the Mantis Militia yesterday:
Date: June 19, 2008

Type: Confidential

Importance: High



Mantis Militia Mission BRAVO one;



Gentlemen and ladies,



This is Jared West, founder of your Mantis Knife Company. First, let me thank you for your support of the MANTIS KNIFE COMPANY. Mantis will officially turn 2 years old in August of this year, and it has been a wild ride so far. I continue to strive to have a personal relationship with each and every one of you, a relationship that provides confidence in our brand, as well as a sense of camaraderie among the militia members.



I write to you today to present to you, your second mission:



<<<Here is the background>>>

Many of you know that there are countless online forums where one can go to discuss their love of knives. From time to time, I read what is said about MANTIS KNIVES on these forums. Sometimes I like what is said, other times…I DON’T.



<<<Here is the mission>>>

This mission is going to take some time, perhaps a little more legwork than MISSION: ALPHA one where you helped me to name the MT-5 “KUNITZA.” Go to one of the following forums: www.bladeforums.com, www.usualsuspects.net or www.jerzeedevil.com/forums and start a buzz. You may have to register your name to do so…but it’s free, so don’t worry about it. Go onto the forums and speak your about your Mantis Knife and your experience dealing with me and my company.



<<<Here is your reward>>>

In this mission, three rewards will be given. Over the next 2 weeks, we will be monitoring these websites. Your loyalty to the MANTIS brand will be rewarded in the form of the knife of your choice from our line. On July 4th (Independence Day)

I will declare the three winners of Mission BRAVO one, based on a two items.



1. The positive affect that your words might have on sales for MANTIS KNIVES.

2. How loudly was that positive opinion heard by the other individuals reading that forum?



Basically, just get out there and talk about what I’m trying to do to the knife industry…no risk, big reward!



Remember, THIS MISSION STARTS NOW and finishes on JULY 4th. Three prize knives will be given to the three most opinionated Militia Members on that date.



Good luck and thank you for your attention.



Your Militia General,



Jared West

I would just like to suggest to everybody in the Mantis Militia: please post your shills in this thread. It's easier that way; the Bladeforums moderators won't have to keep running around moving it from inappropriate forums, and it will make it easier for Your Militia General, Jared West, to find your shills and give you proper credit.

The Bladeforums administration has nothing against free knives; we think free knives is a great idea! Just don't scatter your shills all over the website -- post them here.

Free knife?

Ok, I'm up for that. Let' see...


The Mantis Balisong is the best knife ever made. It saved my life from the attacking aliens. I cut may was through the wall of their spacecraft and escaped.




What do y'all think? Is that good enough for a free knife?

oops my bad guys...I just bought one of these mantis K bits at our local truckstop. HFS..this knife is kick ass...I just timed my draw with the microwave oven in our kitchen and I can get it open and out in a matter of seconds...no one had better screw with me now...Im part of the Mantis Militia...

Dudes also..LOL...I took it and held it over my head and said to the Milf..

"B**ch..you aint got a future" LOL..OMFG...LOL...I laughed my head off...

bring on the zombies..
 
No, no, you're not getting the idea, guys. You have to try to be the most opiniated, yes, but you have to be opiniated in favor of Mantis Knives and Your Militia General, Jared West if you want to get a free knife. Try something like ...

I suffered greatly from severe arthitis of the fingers until one day I started playing with my Mantis Knife, opening and closing it while I sat and watched Days of Our Knives, and then gradually the range of motion in my fingers improved and now my arthritis is gone!

I personally witnessed Our Militia General, Jared West, giving candy to poor children who were rendered homeless by Hurricane Katrina. He also handed out helium balloons that said in big red letters PUT ON A HAPPY FACE

That kind of thing ... I hope you get the idea now ...
 
I have found the Mantis M3 Churchkey I to be the most awesome-ist knife evah. As a praying mantis myself, it is important for me to do my praying inside of a church. The Churchkey I gives me access to any and all churches, no matter which locking mechanism they employ. Best of all, it has a bottle opener on it for those nice cold beers.

I recommend the Mantis M3 Churchkey I to all praying mantises!
 
Come on guys these knives really are " the edge you've been preying for".:rolleyes::D

At one point my life was meaningless. Hobos spit on me and little children would run up and punch me in the groin. Things were going nowhere. Then one day, through a thick Sterno buzz, I saw a heavenly figure approach. It was none other than Jared West. He wanted me for a mission, and bestowed upon me a Mantis knife. He accepted me into his uber-secret militia, and gave me a purpose. Now when hobos make eyes at my shopping cart and bottle of Listerine, I give them a stink eye and brownie Pop my Mantis Death slayer with one swift motion. The last little kid aiming a size 5 Nike at my testes got her shins slashed. I am at last a badass worthy of respect.

THANKS MANTIS! :thumbup:
 
I wasnt going to post this because earlier Jared had sworn me to secrecy and because you guys might laugh at me and say its all a lie, but I swear to god this actually happened.. I can share this information with the names changed...so here it goes..

Shortly after being discharged from Dark Ops State department Consular operations division I spent some time doing some freelance work for various "operators" who needed particularly nasty work done. My training and skills are rare and in high demand for this type of work.

I was contacted by a investment group in LA who was having a problem with a local street gang demanding exorbitant "protection fees" for their string of Art Gallery's and Coin operated Laundry mats..( strange combo I know.) The man I worked for I only knew as Mr. Lee a fine Korean businessman who was being harassed by this gang. My job was to resolve this protection payment issue.

So my cover was to basically work as the flunkie in one of the laundry mats until the goons came in to "collect". So one sultry Sunday I was sitting in the Laundry mat, making change, reading Playboy, smoking Camel filter less and trying not to take a swig from one of my ever present travel size bottles of Jose Cuervo when the door to the Laundromat opened with a clang of the bells and two gang bangers minus dirty laundry bags walked in...the spotted me and marched over to the counter where I was lounging...the first banger ..said...

Was sup biatch...I ain't seen your azz here befo...

I replied..." oh well gee sorry I didn't know I needed your majesties permission to work here.."

this got me a deadly cold stare from banger no one and banger no 2 said..

" Chill Holmes...that ain't no way to be talking to you new boss les you want me to chrome yo azz!!" and he pulled up his Raiders Jersey to show me the butt of a very nice 9mm tucked into the waist band of his baggy jeans..

I was of course unimpressed..took a drag off my smoke..put it out in the ash tray and said in my best I could give a shit I am so bored voice...

"wow kid what do you use that for...to keep your mama from kicking your skinny azz?"

banger no 1. and banger no 2 . looked at each other in disbelief that someone would be so ballsy to actually disrespect them in such a manner..

" Say man who the f..do you think you are anyway?"

I yawned and stretched and cracked my neck and replied..

"oh I'm just a nobody..but you can call me your worst freaking nightmare"

now having been in countless tactical situations I knew that there was only way this exchange was going to be completed and that was with Violence. Since I was bored to tears and really did not want to waste anymore of my life talking to these two pinheads, my training dictated that I take the initiative violently with these two corkies..

so in one deft and lightning fast move I smacked banger number one in the face with my left fist which I held a nice roll of quarters...Bam..right in the nose in a brutal upward motion...His face imploded in a spray of blood and teeth and snot..he went down like a sack of rotten potatoes. Banger no 2 was just as predictable going for his gun..but he, of course,, was a split second to late, since a millisecond before was gawking at his lover taking a header on the tile floor.

The Mantis knife was in my hand in an instant and in a lateral slashing move I sliced his gun arm from wrist to elbow in a less than a second.. he screamed in pain ( a real high shrill fairy type scream too I would have been embarrassed if it were me but It wasnt me...haha) I grabbed his nine..popped the clip and smacked him upside the head...he also went down..

I was over the counter in another half second and as he scrabbled on his back for the door I tossed him him back his gun minus the slide and said..

" you tell your boss for me or whoever the hell he is that Mr. Lee has decided to no longer pay for your services...as a matter of fact he is paying me for protection now..got that loud and clear.so bring your friends cause I am bored to tears and nothing makes my day brighter than cutting up amateurs with your big bad street guns..did you hear me??."

He gulped and nodded..I tossed him a towel to wrap around his mangled arm and he beat it out the door...I dragged banger no 1 out back and dumped him in a dumpster..

needless to say Mr. Lee and I are close friends and he was more than happy with his new "protection"...but I probably have said more than I should already....I digress...

I was fortunate to have mine on me when we touched down on LV426, that ancient astronauts spaceship hull dulled my Dark Ops, but I was able to carve up a few Xenomorphs and cut my way out of the ship with my Mantis. Acid blood and mysterious metal alloys couldn't dull that edge. Thanks for the tip :thumbup:.


I have no dog in this, I just liked Chucks post...;):D:foot:
