KnifeXO you say one thing and do another. Strider lied so you sold all your Strider knives but you will still buy Striders if they have the BOS heat treat stamp. What gives???
 
Would some Mod please pin this post? Seeing "Strider Knives, Game Over!" is just plain getting old. Thanks!
 
Naaah...........

At this point let's just wait till the "fat lady" sings and see how this plays out in the end.
I myself have grown curious.

I would think if said party had nothing to hide he would check in here to set the record straight.... at least once anyway.

BUT, who knows at this point... not I.... :confused:

I have my opinion... but at this point that is all it is, an opinion.

The truth is out there somewhere...... in good old black & white..... beyond a shadow of a doubt.

And sooner or later it will show itself for all to see.... beyond all speculation & opinion.

Which ever way it goes, who for sure knows right now ?

But it will show itself....... and then the chips can fall where they fall.
 
I don't expect Duane to post, but I would have expected some of his true friends to pipe up. However, I do not read anything into this silence.
I would not be surprised that in some of the secret sections of some forums the word is to not say a word.

But this is a simple issue being made very complicated and very public and all it would take is some proof that Duane Dwyer and Duane Poland are two different people. It is so simple to end this I wonder why someone would let it drag on and on. This will stay on page 1 until the truth is known even if that takes years!!!!
 
This is my ONLY and last comment about this matter.

Bubbnumber1 is absolutely CORRECT regarding JERRY and POWNETWORK. Jerry has his OWN agenda and this is WAY off of the topic on this thread frankly.

IN point of FACT, the POWNETWORK reccomends that you have a nice DRINK and read Jerry's comments so that you have the proper perspective. ;-[)


POWNETWORK is well aware of it's detractors and HAS NEVER been guilty of any ETHICAL wrongdoing. They are some of the MOST decent and honorable people out there. PERIOD. You would be well served to get to know them and associate with such decent and dedicated people who work tirelessly and endlessly to preserve the HONOR of those that serve HONORABLY. They have a STIRLING reputation w/ the "DOD" despite the obfuscation and prevarications by those trying to divert/twart and dispell the integrity of this.

Bubbanumber1 is absolutely CORRECT regarding his assertions regarding the FRAUD of STRIDER etc. His INTEL(EEI) is accurate and VERIFIED PERIOD.

The evidence is ACCURATE and has been VERIFIED at higher levels PERIOD.

Any of you who hold on to the thought or notion that this is a Witch Hunt please read below :


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudologia

Pseudologia fantastica is one of several terms applied by psychiatrists to the behaviour of habitual or compulsive lying. It was first described in the medical literature in 1891. The characteristics of pseudologia fantastica are: (1) the stories are not entirely improbable and often have some element of truth; (2) the stories are long lasting; (3) the stories are told for internal psychological reasons rather than external gain, and tend towards presenting the person in a good light (for example, as being fantastically brave, knowing or being related to many famous people); and (4) they are not delusional (that is, upon confrontation, the person can acknowledge them to be untrue). Pseudologia fantastica is part of a spectrum of factious disorders, and may be associated with Munchhausen syndrome, impostor, and peregrination (that is, frequently moving town or even country; presumably to avoid detection of the lies). Pseudologia fantastica does not currently feature in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but retains an informal usage.

Other related terms are 'factitious disorder', Mythomania and 'Munchausen syndrome'.

Frankly, I'm surprised BUT not shocked regarding the comments about SPARK.

He is an fine Patriot, A VETERAN who is modest and HONEST, about as ETHICAL of a person I have seen in this amazingly corrupt industry of deception and backstabbing (pun intended ;-[).

He has ALWAYS comported himself in a manner that most people would be truly better served themselves in attempting to emulate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm glad to have found out who the GOOD/ETHICAL people are and I AVOID any and all of people who think lieing about one's achievements in LIFE (especially Military MOS (Military Occupational Specialty), Military Records and Combat Service when you consider how many men are burried in Normandy, Arlington etc. and NEVER lied about their SACRIFICE) is appropriate conduct. IT is NEVER appropriate conduct PERIOD end of story.

Without getting didactic,
I'm appalled at the social conscience and Moral Compass displayed here and how some of you comport yourselves.


I have and will continue to M&M (minimize my EXPOSURE and maximize my DISTANCE) from each and every one of those who fit that personality profile and attitude.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Those of you that cannot admit your wrong or too PROUD to be honest, YOU miss some of the TRULY best lessons in life.
Your efforts would be better served in working on your own self esteem and self image. Realizing that we all are flawed (self included), BUT to openly carry a lie, continue to support a lie and conceal a lie when the evidence is irrufutable is concerning ABBHORENT and ABBORATIONAL behavior to say the least and would be an understatement

For those who stiil are in DENIALor SYCOPHANTIC supporters and think they are smarter than everyone, READ BELOW...


FTR, STRIDER has been confronted in the past about their claims and typically resulted in their SYCOPHANTS/MINIONS/COHORTS covering/CROSS VETTING each other (nobody better to cover a lie about somebody than somebody who has their own lie to cover)The PEOPLE who questioned their VERACITY have been told to prove it and they have. UNDENIABLY , PERIOD end of STORY.

Remember what the 5 stages of loss are ?...


DENIAL, ANGER, BARGAINING, SADNESS and finally ACCEPTANCE

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And what the FUNNIEST part of all this is someone will still be trying to CAST a DOUBT and in denial like they REALLY know more. THEY DON'T PERIOD.

Just watch the comments to follow this post...

"Mick Strider hereby acknowledges that he has never been deployed as a U.S. Army Ranger. Strider also acknowledges that he has never served in or participated with SOCOM (Special Operations Command). Strider also acknowledges that he has never had any combat experience with any branch of the U.S. Military or U.S. Government Agencies, nor has he participated in any "Black Ops". Strider served in 2/75, but never graduated Ranger School."

I suppose the aforementioned is an ASSUMPTION as well and NOT a statement of fact

But then maybe he was under DURESS... YEAH RIGHT ...


There is NO mistake it is a DIRECT HIT on SS# and DOB..... SORRY NICE TRY...

KEEP GRASPING until you run out of OXYGEN and COUNTER ACCUSATIONS....

So AMUSING, LAUGHABLE and ABSURD to watch the SYCOPHANTS work...it REALLY is

Finally, NO I'm NOT a competitior.



The SYCOPHANTS will HAVE NO EVIDENCE to VITIATE the FACTS PERIOD.


Talk about a self inflicted SALVO wound CREATING a "Fait au complait" to yourself and thusly turning yourself into a Social PARIAH ...


BTW, YES he has made NUMEROUS VERIFIED and CONFIRMED CLAIMS (in person to MANY LEO. MIL etc. and in writing) Don't even delude yourself into thinking he has not. Why do you think it has not gone to court ? Want to put their LEO friends up on a stand and see what they say ?

REMEMBER they have been to court already and LOST BADLY the first go round. They would LOSE BADLY in a another round wanna BET me...

OH yea, that right NOBODY wants to talk about the fist Civil LITIGATION Matter that they tapped out on...


MY OPINION is that a certain female will chime in here and doesn't EVEN KNOW she is getting thrown under the BUS.


Too bad that she has been used and manipulated by these characters. Again DENY, DENY, counter accuse etc..
PEOPLE just want to believe EVEN if it's a lie... JUST LIKE ENRON people JUST had to believe it and canot accept that they too have been DUPED.



While I feel bad for these people, they NEED to learn to get the FACTS before they DEFEND, especially when they are defending a FRAUD being manipulated by SOPHISTRY and SMOKE and MIRRORS...

These types of people are EXACTLY part of the reason AMERICA's CORE values are so messed up. In the END they DUPE you and your too naive to even care, notice or figure that out. YOUR loss in the end... What a shame on the MORAL COMPASS some people pocess.


"It is precisely when people have invested in errors that they are afraid of the truth, and therefore eager to silence those who proclaim it."

TIME TO POP SMOKE DON'T YA THINK ? :-{)


End of story PERIOD :barf:

This post sums it all up people. Read it and weep.
 
Oh bullsh.....make that Bull droppings.

Just cause Lance says so means nothing to me. let him PROVE the link between Poland and Dwyer and I will STFU.

If Lance can't do that he should STFU.

How bout you sir, can you prove this link, it should be simple. Once you do that the fence riders like me will swing to your side and HELP Strider pop smoke.
 

Rip-off! Looks can kill … you

Death In Your Hand


And I don't mean the death of a bad guy. I mean your own death, as in "This piece of garbage is so bad, it's sure to fail when you need it most" kind of death. Think about that knock-off I broke. What if I had been trying to get into a window or door in an emergency situation, or trying to free someone in a burning car? You get the picture.

Which brings us to the point. With the increase of popularity of high quality knives, the rip-off artists are dancing with glee every time they bring another ripped-off design in from China. "Why," they say, "should you pay $175 for a Benchmade when you can get one that looks just like it (and probably even says Benchmade on the blade) for $14.95 at the swap meet?" Why, indeed?

"Imitation is not always a form of flattery," said Duane Dwyer of Strider Knives. "In these kinds of cases, it's manipulative, deceptive, shows a lack of integrity and capitalizes on somebody else's hard work," he continued. I could hear the serious tone in his voice over the phone.

Once again, with a maker like Strider, who has a reputation for building strong, reliable field knives for serious work, a cheap "Strider'" rip-off that fails in a situation could get someone hurt, or worse. Simply put, this kind of blatant, focused copying of name-brand designs by some pretty big companies at times, may often not he technically illegal, but nonetheless. violates every principle of ethics you can imagine.

Maby I missed it, what has this got to do with the subject at hand other than to cause a distraction. I see we are back to just cutting and pasting any non related item and not even adding any comentary.
 
hey guys, you must admit that strider's folders are really good. I mean yes they are expensive, but once you have really used one hard, most knives don't even compare anymore.
 
Poland-Dwyer has been verified by SSN according to POWNet.

Would you kindly Quote this from POWNET since they aren't authorised to run searches by Social Security number with out that persons permission. I do not think they are actually stupid enough to admit they did this out right.
 
The Records request was filed under his service number.... and the name on the request was

"POLAND, Duane aka Thomas Duane /Duane Thomas Dwyer" - NO legal, court issued name change can be located.
Neither of these people, Poland or Dwyer would have a service number due to their age unless they aren't American citizens and were cleared to join the military. You would think someone like Mary who deals with military info every day would know that. I notice that they didn't post the actual FOIA request, just that they made one with lots of AKA's included.

The reason for that becomes very evident when you look at the first paragraph of the letter on page 1. The FOIA request was only for Poland's records.

 
Strider knives are strong as heck, the folders lock like a vault, and you could probably cut an engine block in half.

Will this change if Dwyer can be proven to be a Poser also?

Nah, the only change will be the drop in price........

But once and for all will/can someone show the solid proof, period that exists showing Dwyer and Poland are in in the same?

And answer this one other question I have; Was a Military records check (or whatever it's called) run using the name DWAYNE T. DWYER????

The people to ask would be the folks at P.O.W. Network.
