That was a big gap to jump to get from aggressive to what was done to Strider.

One of the old traditions of the better parts of knife industry was to mind your own business and get your work done to the best of ones ability.

This is what Strider is doing.

from what i know, tim from maxpedition was dragged into the mad dog-strider thing by association (tim and kevin are friends). tim and mick had some email exchanges discussing this and from what i read from those exchanges, mick and tim buried the hatchet and moved on two years ago. i have mick's email where he stated that he had 'no problems with tim', and that he considered them both victims of 'idiots'. all i can do is take mick to mean what he wrote. however, because mick didn't say on a public forum that he and tim had settled any differences and come to an understanding, others carry on that fight. i got the impression that both mick and tim would love to put all that behind them and carry on. if mick feels differently than what he wrote, i don't know - you guys who talk to him would, though.

disclosure here - tim approached me to license my rolypolly design BEFORE any of this happened, so i am connected to maxpedition in that regard.
i'm not trying to sway anyone's opinion to buy maxpedition - just trying to help clear the air after the original parties have moved on.

C:

Thanks for giving us your impression of it.

The first sentence was enough to answer all of my questions.

Hope to see you at SHOT.

hope to be there and catch up with all of you again. maybe some snacks at the kifaru hospitality suite again.
as i mentioned to tim when all of this cropped up - sometimes friends go off the deep end; try not to get dragged along.
