I hate to crap all over the snark thread so I'm not going to get specific but I gotta vent. Saw a post on FB today from a YT reviewer asking his viewers to email Ka-Bar asking them to send him products to review. The whole tone seemed to suggest that the industry and KB (and even Ethan) seemed to owe him something. Well I had been on the fence about the channel for a while but today convinced me he had gotten too big for his britches. It's just disgusting really.

I'm sure some of you can figure out who I'm talking about but it would probably be best if we didn't name names or start a massive bash session. I just really needed to vent to some folks who might understand where I'm coming from. I emailed Ka-Bar and told them they don't need to support his channel if they don't wish to but whether the do or don't won't change my opinion of them or keep me from buying their knives.

That is kind of bogus... Actually REALLY bogus. I hope they tell him face to face at Blade he can screw off, and I hope to be there to see it. Personally, I'd also move for revocation of BH status but that is just me.

Yea thats a bit silly in my opinion. I like when people review stuff on youtube, and if they are doing a good enough job on their reviews eventually they might make money or get stuff sent to them to review but begging viewers to beg a company seems childish and just wrong in my opinion.

I got 10-12 videos on youtube myself, but i dont do it for anything other than to show people who ask a question something, or to better show something im trying to explain. I have been told ways to improve how many people view my videos, and how to improve my videos overall, but im not doing it for that, i dont make them for people i dont even know, i make them for the people here on the board that i talk to on a regular basis, and i try and keep it fun and purposely keep it less professional than the other videos i watch on the same type subjects.

She is trying to get ME to bring HER tacos at work... I explained she is already up, and out, she needs to bring ME tacos in bed. So far I don't think she is going for it.

But DUDE I could go for some chorizo and nopales tacos... Soft tacos, spread with beans, top that with chorizo and nopales, and some green salsa and an avocado with queso fresco chunked on top.

:thumbup:

You are so right man. And that little stunt on FB is total Bull.
I un-subscribed to his channel months ago cause I started seeing where it was going, and things he says really started to bug me. And notice how he doesn't come by the BK&T sub forum much at all anymore.

I do however check some of his vids out if I need a good laugh now and then. lol. I just can't take him serious anymore.

Ka-bar doesn't need to support him to sell knives. He acts like he has helped them to sell 10's of thousands of knives and now they owe him big time. Ugh.

Disgusting is right bighoss!!
 
World let's do a kickstarter, you can get a camera for yourself and i can get one to make videos on sharpening!

My camera is about shot for real but I was really just teasing. Mixing MM's post about not complaining while complaining and Big Hoss's post about begging youtube viewers for something.

But Im not even sure how those kickstarter things work, or why people would want to help someone they dont know get a camera LMAO I guess if i was serious about it i could promise certain types of videos or something, or make a video for each person who donates towards it or something...

More than likely ill just sell something to get a new camera before too long.

I'm tempted to send you things to do videos of, I love watching your videos, I get a kick out of them. Ever used a Sharpmaker?

Could somebody please PM me a link to this guy that has been begging for knives? Thanks!

On a different note, I just broke the lawnmower. :( I didn't check the oil and the engine got fried. :( Oh well, lesson learned

Not that anyone isn't behaving themselves, but do remember it is a short slope that leads to bashing of someone. Personally, I agree, and all of you can rest assured it will be discussed with the boss. That being said, he is the commander in chief of this little band of reprobates, so whatever he decides is what he decides and even if we disagree we will abide by it.
