For those who weren't here for the first (or second) go-round, hereafter follows an attempt to explain it.
Tacticlol is a wink and a nudge. It should only be used if you don't want to be taken too seriously.
Tactilol isn't something I started. If somebody with less attention deficit is able to find the first mention, please post up!
Tacticlol is an in-joke. The rest of Bladeforums is probably blissfully ignorant, and maybe it should stay that way
Tacticlol is just for fun! If you try to be serious in a "tacticlol" situation, expect to "be laughed at mercilessly".
Tacticlol is in the eye of the beholder. Laci Szabo, Dark Ops, Mantis, Jay Fisher, and that... knife.. that Jim Wagner collaborated with Boker on, come up a lot. Laci Szabo is a martial arts practitioner, and his knives are based around his martial arts training.
Jay Fisher is a full time knifemaker, with a lot to say about intellectual property, and his website makes him sound like a considered and thoughtful fella.
I'm not sure about Dark Ops or Mantis. There are people who like them, and that's okay. But it also brings us to the last, and most important thing about "tacticlol":
Tacticlol might be YOUR knife! So try to laugh. The best moments on this forum happen when people realize that it may be your precious, but to other people, it may be just a knife.
