Cold Steel knives, founded by Lynn Thompson has/had a massive fan base for their knives, swords and melee self-defence weapons. It was the Cold Steel nation, if not family. But, now the firm has been sold to a bigger corporation, and that to an investment firm. The comments made below the vid are worth looking at, as they express once loyal fans’ sense of loss, and the likelihood that the brand will be like Disney buying up Star Wars, and we know where that led. As one person said:
“This sounds just like the same speech we got right before they moved my job to China.”
