What I've always wondered is how businesses that rely on infomercials, junk mail, email spamming, telemarketing, pop-ups, banners, or the Home Shopping Network and its clones manage to stay solvent.
I close popups, hang up on telemarketers, never click on banners, bulk-delete spam, have never watched an infomercial or home shopping channel, and use unsolicited mailings for kindling.
I was taught at a young age that A) If it sounds too good to be true, it is, and B) 99 times out of 100, you get what you pay for.
Now that I've gotten fairly seriously into knives, I've looked around and wondered what keeps these $4.99-$8.00 junk knife companies in business. CRKT, Kershaw, Spyderco, Gerber and many other companies make fine and serviceable knives in the $15-$35 range.
I'll discuss "S&W" and "Colt" knives in a later post...
