Hi Michael

Sorry to hear about TK's demise - it was by far my favourite of the knife magazines on the market.
I didnt buy it regularly here at home in South Africa as it tended to be expensive due to the 10+ to 1 exchange rate, however every time I visited the company HQ in San Jose, CA - I would bring home as many as I could find.

Good luck for your future endeavours - let us know about your newsletter and online library.

Rick

Thanks to all for the kind words. After 20 years of writing for TK, I was very sorry to see it go.

FWIW, nobody on the editorial/contributor side--including Steve Dick--had any head's up that TK was going away. One day, we just got an e-mail saying it was over.

Some of the articles that were still pending publication in TK are being repurposed for Harris' new publication "Survivor's Edge." It just hit the newsstands and takes a VERY broad-scoped look at survival, including everything from prepper-style skills to self-defense. I don't envision it having a strong knife-oriented content, but it seems to be Harris' primary venue for knife articles.

On the positive side, I recently wrote my first article for Recoil and continue to maintain a very strong relationship with FMG Publications. I look forward to writing a lot more for both of them. As part of my new Martial Blade Concepts Distance Learning Program, I am also offering a newsletter and online library that will include my own independent articles and product reviews.

Thanks again for 20 years of support and readership!

Stay safe,

Mike

From what I gather, they are only refunding subscription money to those that actually call and ask for it. I know one person that was refunded about a year and half's worth when he called.

I wanted to bring this thread to the top again to let everyone know that Sidehill Gouger is correct. Despite being a subscriber, I never received one correspondence from Harris Publications notifying me of the magazine's demise. (Funny, I always received multiple letters from them when subscription renewal time rolled around....) When I called, however, they did send me a refund check for the balance of my subscription. If you are a subscriber, you'll need to do the same soon or I suspect you'll be out that money.

Unbelievable! Nice treatment for decades-long employees!

Mike, would you consider offering a subscription to your newsletter only? I looked at your site and it appears that the newsletter is only offered as part of the DLP package. As I already own most of your videos, I don't need the entire package, but I would be interested in reading your newsletter. I suspect that there are others here who would, as well.
