Kevin,
The main reason I didn't know was because I have never heard you mention anything about your knives, or even seen one posted...
That may be the downside to my philosophy. I very rarely post my own work because for me helping others with information and educating is totally separate from promoting my knives. I think it is fine if somebody has, or pays for, their own separate space for marketing but I see these forums as a place to share information for the good of our craft and I can't bring myself to use them for marketing my blades. I have seen many self styled gurus that are very eager to offer bits of helpful information that always includes a plug for their book or DVD that will tell you the rest, to each his own, but I find that very in genuine or tacky at best and it is not my style. Also when one is claiming to provide unbiased data having a monetary interest sort of undermines the credibility of the information. One excellent example of this are cryo studies, to date I have only seen a couple that were not conducted by people selling cryo services, and interestingly enough in these rare examples the numbers are much more reasonable and believable. But because of my approach I often get antagonists that believe I am just an armchair quarterback, until they eventually see something like my website and rethink that assessment. :3:
