Mr. Mickley,
I am not spoiling/nor looking for a fight. I enjoy what I do, as the real deal. I am open to the fact, that I am NOT a knife maker. I have never had a problem in the past.
I make NO promises of any kind, only of a fair and honest review, and that it will appear in the magazine. I do promise a free magazine or two when your review appears.
I was unaware of any other published complaints. I would appreciate those threads, if you would be so kind. As for my comments, to quote Mr. Bill Coye, whose work I really did like. ´´ If you took them to be rude, that certainly is your prerogative.´´ I am here to defend myself, my name and magazine.
As for ´´ insulting and confrontational tone,´´ I would say no more then you sir. You worry about a knife, I am worried about a reputation and name. While I know, I´ll never be famous, I´d like to keep and honest and clean reputation. Which I can not write of my taxes as a writer comp or stolen/lost goods.
´´ If you are in fact, the real deal,´´ please review my references, then decide if you want to be reviewed by my magazine. As you are the big DOG, see what you can find. I have nothing to hide, and a a rather lot to gain.
I as well have low ´´threshold,´´ for nonsense as well. While I don´t use a grinder, I do work very hard.
