Scott,

Looks like you are getting a lot of good help from others today as well.

Originally I thought Reid was being the ass he is and Sheldon being the ass he is but I think there is more to the story.

I spent some time reading around about Mike Stewart's past today and learned a lot about his slimy dealings and the way he operates. Given his fraudulent past and unpopularity in the knife world the only way to hock his knives is to hood wink ignorant forum members into buying his knives. In the case of knifeforums he has hit a gold mine. He even has the owner Jim Nowka eating out of his hand. He also makes sure he is a moderator on any forum he participates in so he can readily censor any differing opinions or truth. Or in this case his lap dog Reid Hyken does it for him. Worse it appears he is slowly trying to discredit other makers in order to up his sales. He started last year in the kitchen forum over there trying to push his knives on them but for good reason was met with severe disinterest in his products by the folks there. Now it appears Randall is in his sights. Obviously way out of his league with that also.

By all accounts he makes an ok knife but has no ethics or morality whatsoever. A convict.

Thanks,

Rick
