Lynn Thompson is a marketing god.

The video of him trying to spear a water buffalo is awesome, too. He not only likes guns, he's quite good with a big revolver.

Appears so, no way could I shoot a wheel gun like he shows in that video....

I was seriously impressed.

Part of any solid business plan is to know your customer. If you are in the knife world you need to be pro-2a and pro-hunter unless you only want to sell to housewives and gay chefs. Everyone I know in the gun community carries at least one pocket folder on them.

Helped a PD in Oregon destroy some guns.

Donated to anti-gun candidates, and doing so solely for the last 3 election cycles.

But he's a pro--gun wacko. Nows the time for solidarity, not to be divisive.

Check out his African hunt video where the Cape Buffalo shrugs off his spear. Lynn cooly and quickly pulls out his magnum and lays that buffalo out while it is charging him from close distance. Dude clanks when he walks.

It was a cape buffalo. Big difference. The cape buffalo is by far the most dangerous of the Big 5. He is brave as hell.

They care about all segments of the knife buying demographic is what I am hearing.

For people that realize a quality knife isn't going to be purchased at flea market prices glaze over the cheap stuff regardless.

That thing has been around for a while, I remember reading about it here years ago. I'd like to get my hands on one to check it out.

Actually, I think Survival Lilly had one.

My Cold Steel war hammer approves.
When I opened the box, my wife just looked at me and said”why?”
I couldn’t think of a way to explain that the little bit of geek in me just had to have a war hammer, so stuttering a response I stated, “ it’s to break up ice up on the sidewalk.”

We still laugh about it

The only Cold Steel I own at the moment, R1. It's a good blade, now that Benchmade has shown their true colors, I'll be looking at Cold Steel more.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I usually am) but, wasn't the SRK standard issue for BUDs training at one time? I remember seeing a SEAL documentary years ago and I could have sworn I saw the recruits carrying SRKs.
