Boker zinkers are really bad. Im not much of a zinker fan design wise after having some of them. Live and learn.

The md version is better quality but design wise its not my type of knife. They burn my eyes when i look at them. But art knives are a thing. It catches the eye of some. Flashy strange things sell. The more holes and compound grinds the better.

 

I love the Zinker FR style but the full custom is a little rich for my blood and the Boker version is a disappointment. I'd love to see MD bring a WE made Zinker FR to market with different scale choices!

 

Just received my Massdrop x Bradford Guardian 3.5 and with Nitro-V and it's amazing. I've one ever had this and the MD/FF Gent and I was impressed with both. But they could be hit or miss with anything else.

 

It used to be if you didn't (or couldn't) meet the Amazon prices, people just took their business elsewhere, but now you get publicly flogged if some your prices beat them and others don't.

Amazon, meanwhile, uses your money to buy a secret army of 150 economists a year, so they can screw over their competitors more, y'know, scientifically:

One can only imagine what will happen to their prices once they succeed.

To screw over their loyal vendors, Amazon now knocks off your products and will undercut them using huge pop-up ads forcing consumers to actually confess they want to pay more for similar products: https://www.retaildive.com/news/wsj-amazon-tests-private-label-pop-ups-on-product-pages/550703/

So what does Amazon have to do with Massdrop?

Some sort of secret conspiracy or do you just not like Amazon?
