Let's keep it classy guys. Why all the hostility?
Honu
lost on the mainland
really you ask WHY ?
how about you put in a forum rule that vendors should not call members ***** or foolish or if they do apologize ! because they started a worthless post about NOTHING but asking for our info
especially for questioning a product they refuse to say what it was !! so we poke fun
and he finally comes back just to post we are ***** and foolish !
guess if vendors can say that about forum members we have the right to stand up to it !!! and he still refuses to apologize that he called us forum members that ! classy vendor there for sure !
how about starting a vendor area where they can post there product that has no contribution to what the forum should be about ? in this case not only not saying anything about it but in the wrong forum area ! where it should have been in the overland chef area ! when asked still refused but still wants us to sign up ! YEAH snake oil time !!!
best yet make a rule vendors can not start any thread about there product same as many now who post a review only to post a link to there blog !
quite a few I know are getting a bit burnt out on this and what its becoming
how about contact the OP and set some ground rules as to how to treat members and posting good info to begin with !

Carl, the owner of Tiktaalik, is a well-respected member of a several of Land Rover- and expedition-related forums including this one, and posts non-business-related discussion under his personal account. Yes, his Tiktaalik posts do read a bit like those of a marketing executive but you're free to not click them. I'd say that they neatly balance out the endless cheapskate hack-job check-out-my-Sterilite-kitchen-build posts that many of us skip over.
As for Tiktaalik, their products are gorgeous. The pieces are expensive because it costs a lot of money to execute at his level at small scale. This gear is priced out of the typical ExPo budget but there are people here who do appreciate the quality so how about keeping the low-brow criticism to yourselves?

Doesn't anyone read "The Emperor's new clothes" anymore? I still say this is all healthy. Carl will read his audience and costumer base better at his next interaction or take the business where no one dares to say the emperor isn't wearing anything. Thats a win/win in my book.

Make sure you post more info when you can.
Also I'm going to order a 20 dollar bottle opener to open my 2 dollar beer. I try to support small American business the best I can.
Most people here probably spend more than 20 a week on coffee. (I do

My sentiments exactly. Treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Drama aside, I will keep an open mind about these knives, but I'm wary of how much the asking price will be given the statements above. I also lurk on BladeForums and there are some pretty awesome knifemakers over there who make kitchen knives. If these get into custom or hand-forged knife territory $-wise then I'm out.
I seriously hope that a lot of thought goes into a sheath or storage system for these knives. If you have a trailer or RV then you can have a knife block, drawer, or magnetic strip to hold your knives, but for other camping users, a compact and robust storage system would be very handy and help differentiate this product in the market, IMO.

He pulled a similar trick when asking for views on FjallRaven clothing.
Staretd the thread asking for reviews, part way through the thread announces he's an expo vendor and is selling the stuff, a subtle/poor way of spamming.
Nothing too impressive about a knife blank with a deburred handle either
