So, I checked out Lynn Thompson's Never Unarmed website, and it seems that just about all the actual knife/sword/weapon type goods that he previously had up, are now gone.
In other words, instead of it progressively having more to offer, it actually has almost nothing to offer, (except for some promotional gear).
I wonder where he is headed with this?
He previously had the 1917 Cutlass on there, and that had me a wee bit confused. I mean, the 1917 Cutlass is, or at least was, a Cold Steel product. Maybe CS has fully discontinued that model, and Lynn simply decided to pick it up for his own new company's line, but now it has gone POOF, gone.
That's just one of the goods that were on his site that were previously a CS item, and now he too has removed.
Hmm, again.... I do wonder what his game plan is.
On a related note, I don't believe that CS still had the 1917 Cutlass in their 2021 catalog, but I still seen being offered in various places online throughout the 2021 year. I wonder if they were remaining inventory, or if the 1917 Cutlass has even been discontinued at all. I think ot was one of Lynn's first swords that he offered. Although they named it the 1917 Navy Cutlass, it was more of a direct reproduction of the Dutch Klewang sword, which the actual Navy's 1917 Cutlass was based on. In any case, Cold Steel's 1917 Cutlass was not the fanciest of Cold Steel's swords, but was one of their most solid/robust offerings, and CS sold it for many years.
One of the reasons it is/was so robust, is that it's design, like the original Dutch Klewangs and Navy's 1917 Cutlass', incorporated a full length/full with tang.
I have been regularly been visiting Lynn Thompson's 'Never Unarmed' website, caused by my curiosity for what he's got going on over there
BTW... I just went to Cold Steel's website to make sure that I wasn't wrong about them no longer carrying the 1917 Cutlass, and sure enough, I did not see it anywhere on their page.
Still, online vendors continue to offer them and even allow for them to be backordered. Hmm?
