2008 New Year’s Resolutions

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008 | About the TKW Blog | No Comments

Hello all, thank you for keeping the TKW Blog going. We’d like to make a few commitments to you for the new year. It became apparent to me over the holiday, that the TKW Blog is not controversial enough (thanks Paul – for enlightening me). We have engaged in a little too much people pleasing and much too little opinionated commentary. For example, when we have written about a knife that we don’t like, this fact was not revealed in the commentary in the interest of not offending those who may genuinely like the knife. 2008 Resolution? Not any longer! If you are entitled to your own opinion – shouldn’t that work both ways?

So, without further ado, let me begin by saying, the tye die swiss army knives are lame (article), Camillus – though you may have handled your liquidation amicably, there are a good many who are disappointed that they can no longer purchase your knives – why didn’t you hold a web auction that would allow your patrons to get one last chance at a Camillus knife? (article) – Spyderco – why did you try to pioneer a “new” rustproof blade when all of us would have been happy with a titanium one (which everyone knows is the best metal for dive knives)? If the “new” rustproof metal is so wonderful – give us some proof like Mission Knives does in their seawater corrosion test, where the Titanium MPK is pitted against the Ontario MK3, USMC Combat Knife & Air Force Survival Knife – our eyes are wide-open (article).

We look forward to another eventful year – please feel free to share your article ideas and thoughts on TKW posts – don’t be shy, tell us how you really feel!
