I see your point...
I do appreciate my Schrades, no more or less, and because of Taylor, I have to use more due diligence when shopping for them to not be screwed by cheap copies.
I think there is plenty to talk about without talking about TBLLC. I think you would find a small percentage of the threads here overall relate to TBLLC. And yes, they do give us a lot to talk about, but not much fun; its like shooting fish in a barrel.
Sorry that you got burned. I think we all have been there...
Stick around, and tell us about your Schrades (or other knives)
