So there i was
.
Minding my own beeswax, cause thats all i have time for these days
.
When i get a call from my titanium guy
he tells me there is this guy named Tim from MD Labs that is looking for some of my Coyote Brown G10. So i say to myself, that must me Kevin, i bet his knives would look cool in brown. So i e-mail him and ask if he needs some. He says yes and tells me its for Tim Tang and he (Tim) will deal with payment, blah
blah
blah
So a few days later what do i find out?
Strangely, I find out that not only Kevin, but Tim as well, are e-mailing out a bunch of crap about me.
Im kind of used to this, I have to say, because one of the other mailers, there were several, the one who was so terribly disgusting as to send a grubby note to a young collector friend of mine, has been attempting to destroy both my, as well as my partners credibility, (lively hood) for years. Most of the people reading this know him. Hes been around for years. His name is Lance Harris. Of course when he sends out these mails he is much too cowardly to do it in his own name. He uses one of his special Japanese names. Lance wishes he was a Samurai. i kinda wish i was too
..but i dont pretend to be Japanese
Lance is actually a pretty good dude. i used to know him, not really i guess
.
But he got a head full of trash one day. A lot of you more than likely remember
He started this big ol Witch Hunt over whether or not a guy teaching tracking to the USMC was actually an RSAS vet. i know that sounds kinda strange, but for some reason he felt that the USMC was not able to correctly asses their instructors
.
You want to know the reason? Because he went to a tracking class from one of the guys rivals. And, can you believe it!!!??? Guy 2 badmouthed Guy 1. i know, i know
rivals NEVER bad mouth each other
so of course Lance went for it. Why THAT is dishonorable! So of course Samurai Lance, who from this point I guess we should address by his chosen name of Hariudo Tenshi went on a special mission to make things right.
In the end, Hariudo Tenshi ended out the fool
.that, of course hurt his ego a bit. That on top of the fact that, though he was on the cover of a Japanese magazine, all of the glory of that magazine went to the very person he was trying to destroy.
Since then he has been attempting to destroy Strider Knives through a little game of spread the lies
.and of course some truth. Lies are much more believable when told with a little truth
Should have chosen the honorable thing Hariudo Tenshi and taken your own life.
Sorry
got side tracked
.
Like i said, im kinda used to it.
So anyway
.if you have not seen what they sent out, which im sure most of you have by now
it was a big fat list of stuff about me
.and for some reason some other guy who went to prison
.i guess it makes me much more worserer if I know other bad guys
.im not sure
.my morals are askew
If i remember it all
.i dont have it right here
.it was a cool looking Investigation report, that i hope didnt cost much cause that fucker was VERY badly done
(Though Lynn Thompson of Cold Steel Knives DID in fact donate money for the investigation. i heard it was $10,000 but Lynn wont return my e-mails so i cant be sure of the amount).
I find it strange about Lynn. Not that I think he is above it, much like Kevin, Lynn attempts to sell his own product by talking shit about more popular gear. (loser)
What I find strange is that the investigation was in fact instigated by X.
WHAT??!! Where did that come from?
Funny twist to the story
.
X built up this stuff because he felt he needed to have some leverage against me, because i know of how much of a shit bag he is. X, oddly enough was arrested and rather than do his own time, he turned into a CI and busted WHO? Well the VERY same guy whose papers were sent out with mine! Isnt that a shock! At least three other friends of mine went to jail over his little telling spree
two who were later cleared and went back to duty as Marines, and one who didnt.
And whats even MORE shocking is that
youll of course NEVER guess
.X was competitors with the guy! I know thats a shocker
but hey
business is business right?
Any way
X sends me this big ol mail about how hes not really a bad guy, but its ME that is and he has a bunch of proof and i should be ashamed of myself and blah blah blah
Heres the funny part. He tells me: before you get pissed off and over react, Ive sent this to 30 people with instructions of what to do if
.
Come on 007
.gimme a break
To be honest, i felt bad. X and i were friends at one time
okay i thought we were
.he was one of the first guys i met when i got out of prison. When he started his store, I gave him a BUNCH of knives and holsters to sell, and pay me whenever. Instead of pay at all
he started to talk shit about us and our gear, even attempted to knock off one of our knives (Thats how X works
he has no actual skill at making or designing
but he steals great) and sell it as a special SEAL knife in Japan. X was a SEAL. Forgot to mention that. Thanks for your service X.
Okay
Back to the report.
Funny thing about reports that are jaded
they ONLY have bad stuff.
There was investigations on my partner as well
.strange it didnt mention that he is a LEO.
There was of course the part about me going to prison. Which i have to say
i already thought every one knew. Its not like i keep it a secret.
The thing that REALLY was disgusting was the wives tale of what a shit bag I am
funny how they didnt mention that this was from a custody hearing and that the document was so full of crap that it was removed from the case.
For those of you that dont know this
.when a bad guy gets out of prison, if the parents are not together, they make the bad guy have State supervised visits for a while. Strange they didnt include the States report on the parenting of the mother and father in this case. Funny they didnt mention that i had to pay the state back ten grand in Welfare Abuse dollars that she collected while i continued to support her from Prison, just to keep my sons mother (who of course hates me) out of jail.
Yep
.strange.
Not really. They also falsified my military history.
im not much of a talker. All anyone knows about my military history, if anything is that i served in a Ranger Battalion.
Never have i told a story of ANY of my military duty.
My parents dont know
My friends dont know.
In fact when asked what I did, while in the service I generally say I was in the Infantry. Only knife geeks, and actual real people know more. (because folks sure like to talk about mick)
Its my business. im a VERY private person.
Nothing i did while serving in the Military was special. i had a head full of spiders then, just like now.
Not that i personally care what any one thinks of me, but i DO have responsibilities to my company. Things like this, to someone with less than border line intelligence, (AKA Beau Springer), are a big deal, and since they never actually did anything in their own pathetic lives to think or talk about, they will talk and talk and talk. Guys like this are so retarded that they think that because i went to prison that i DONT know about knives??!! Theres a person who has REALLY tasted life
People as low as this will even feel free to continuously call me by the name I clearly changed for a reason
.never a thought as to why I may have done it. Again, ive never made it secret ive changed my name
.i of course dont advertise what it was
.idiot
Who cares about my families security?
Not these guys
.they even sent out my childrens addresses. Yes. i shit you not. Also mentioned that im separated from my wife
.nice
.thanks for letting every one know im not there to protect my loved ones
..
You people are the lowest I have encountered in my life. Think for a minute of how many shit bags ive known.
You are the VERY lowest.
Youre attempt to destroy Strider Knives was not nearly as retarded as you
..but very retarded.
See, everyone, the plan was that a felon cant contract with the US Government. Which of course is much of our business. Kevin wishes he could have it, and thinks if we didnt have it, he would.
Good news for us! Were a Corporation. Sammy dont care about felons no-mo!
The funny thing is that even if we werent around, his gear is substandard. No one wants a ten year old chromed turd, no matter how many Jimmy Neutron stories you tell.
When we first started to deal with Military groups selling knives, it was with the Navy. And a phrase was coined that has been used several times since
.and i think it applies here
.They said to us, as we were about to make it legal, Your not gonna Mad Dog us right? This of course is a reference to Kevins failed knife project with them. It makes me feel good after all this time, to see that then and even now, every one who actually is some one, knows who the losers are.
I have attached the pertinent parts of my DD214. For those of you who never bothered to enlist:
Kevin McClung............Mad Dog Knives
Tim Tang....................MAXPEDITION
Lynn Thompson.........Cold Steel Knives
Lance Harris..............Body guard
Beau Springer............Real Estate guy
(no wonder he has so much to say about tactical gear)
Anyone I missed, you know what a loser you are regardless. And of course X, who DID serve, but if he posted his 214 you would more than likely see a less than honorable discharge.
DD214 is your separation document from the Military.
This is your proof that youre a bunch of shitbag liars. As well as that all my stories are true. The indicated portions prove that, not only was i in the Army, but that i served in a Ranger Battalion.
Just to rub your ugly little faces in it, ive also attached the NSNs we were issued while you were jacking off trying to make me look bad.
My suggestion to you is that you send out an apology to every one you sent that crap to, and mind your own business.
But of course you wont.
Personally, I dont give a fuck what you do.
I think about you as often as I think about the flys buzzing on the dead animals I pass in my new truck.
Coveting is BAD!
Even bad ol mick knows that!
Knife, Fixed, Camo NSN 1095-01-531-5023
Knife, Folding, Special Mission, NSN 1095-01-531-5015 These two are new and my favorite, because they were awarded while you were posting this shit
JB1, Shroud Knife, NSN 1670-09-000-3920
There are a few more
.but i dont have them in front of me right now and im tired of you losers
.
EDIT NOTE* i pulled my paper work off of this.....im sure enough people have seen it and down loaded it by now......

), nomex undies and did a partial burn, picked up a couple foam pads a nearby high school was throwing out from track & field (I had guessed they would have been good for 40 ft. stacked) and even had an old beater I picked up at auction that I wanted to try hood rides on. Unfortunately, all my friends said I was crazy to try a fall or hood ride and wouldn't give me an assist. And now, some years later, one of them is asking when I'm going to do another burn
