Which knife industry person/people would you like to have a beer with?

[vikianush]

Phil Wilson and Bob Dozier.

I'm ISO Phil Wilson knife, would you please consider discuss a suitable deal? Please DM (I don't have gold status so can't initiate the discussion)

Bob Loveless and his assistant at the Blade Show.

Bob Loveless died in 2010. Would have loved to have a beer with him!

 

[Alberta Ed]

Lynn C. Thompson, one of the most brilliant, versatile knife designer/producer/promoters of the last 40 years.

1. Sal Glesser
2. Larrin. Although he'd probably get up from the table quickly due to all the questions I have.

 

[LostCause]

Definitely Larrin , the ammount of knowledge he provided by all the tests he did for us is just astounding.

Not only that, but he is here with us on the forum and is answering questions too.

Major props to him. He's the real MVP of the knife world.

 

[Bob Denman]

Sal should be on everybody's list...
Eugene Solomonik
Chris Reeve
If we have a category for the Dearly departed: Elijah Isham...

Is resurrection an option? If so, Jim Bowie.


If not, I’d grab a beer with bikerector any day.

Just make sure that you catch him before he gets to the Alamo: he'll be kind of busy at that time...

 

[Kirk Raptor]

David C. Anderson and Nick Shabazz.

 

[Bob Denman]

Hey everybody!

 

[19-3ben]

Hell, he was sick as a dog and bed ridden in the Alamo. Probably the best time to talk to him, I’ve got a captive audience who wouldn’t be able to escape my incessant chatter.

 

[Vlade]

I just thought of another one how about Ken Richardson if he still alive

 

[Hammer67]

I think Dave Wattenberg would be a cool guy to have a beer with.

LT Wright would be another.

 

[bayouace]

In 2011 I was in A.G. Russell's showroom in Rogers, AR, and The Man himself waited on me. We had a friendly conversation with no beer. I bought 3 knives, including one like he pulled from his pocket, the Titanium button-lock. I treasure that knife and our talk.

 

[vwb563]

I think my two favorites would be Sal Glesser and Greg Medford.

 

[King of the Cheese]

This is a tough one to answer, in the context that they’d have to be someone interesting to have a conversation with but laid back enough to have a beer and open up. There are some titans in the industry that while extremely skilled and motivated, seem like they’d be too dull to converse with or on the contrary too intense they’d overwhelm you.

For me, I’d say Andrew Demko. Seems like a laid back guy.. seems motivated with ideas for innovation.. constantly working on new ideas or custom knife projects… was integral to a lot of success at Cold Steel.. so yeah, I guess Andrew Demko would be my choice for kicking back with a few beers.

Lynn Thompson
Bo Randall
