Don't short sell yourself. I've read some of your posts and you seem like you'd be a great none sequitur and a none conformist. Come on KH, bring it ;)
 
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot: is everyone in the ATL today?!

Ah, OK... It is just technical issues with BFs. Never mind!

You mean to tell me that you don't love that "Straight outta Compton" Inkosi?!! That thing looks like shit.
It's stupid that they're killing the 25 also.
 
Yup. It's effing terrible.

Now that Chris is no longer in the shop, and the new Manager is making things all about profit, I'm afraid the new models will suck. The marketing department is designing a new adventure knife. Let's see how it does compared to a Survive. Great knives come from users, and skilled craftsmen, not a marketing department.

A lot of people have been asking for a medium, a lot more than a replacement for the 25. The pocket clip change while benefiting a small minority of people, only narrows the potential of the popularity of this model. Inlay on one side only is going to look terrible to me, and if they make a cutout on the backside to accommodate the clip, it's going to fatigue the clip very quickly too. Not just look stupid. The stop pin is now A-symetrical with the rest of the fasteners, so to me, this is a flop.

I'd say the marketing department is leaning on Chris's design, while not understanding why he did what he did. They are resting on his laurels, and he is certainly missed. 2 unimaginative LE's at gouging prices. Clearly motivated by profit, no longer by a vision.

Go try a 25 and if you like it, I will sell you one for cheap. It's built to last a lifetime. I think we are seeing the end of CRK as we know it.

That's a damn shame to see this happen to a knife company that basically set the standard on high end folders.
I saw the photo of the $2k Inkosi with those brass inlays and I honestly thought it was a badly done Chinese knockoff.
I'm going to pm you about that 25 bud.
 
I heard on the radio that the giant 15+ feet gator seen roaming in that FL golf course has been given reprieve to leave there for now and won't be evicted since he has not bothered anyone yet. Note that the operative word is "yet"! Haha!

So that was for real?? What are they planning to do if it gets hungry? Send in a sheep?
 
Is it just me, or are a couple of threads on here messed up? Seems that a few newer posts have been put up but nothing shows on Favorite YT channels and also Never Say Die! thread.
 
Lol. I just PM'd you to see if you could see those. They are not working for me either. It's hard to tease OBX when the internet is not working!! :o

Hopefully this post will go through :confused:

I seen HK post but I've been having trouble with it too. It seems to be only in the S! Sub forum for me. But I just chalked it up to my stone age phone.
