Instagram people annoy me...

:D I get what you're saying and don't necessarily disagree but several of our forum comrades are Instagram people, including me. Although I don't really post very often. I follow a lot of things besides knives. So I pretty much just watch

I think the IG people you're referring to are the ones who are trying to make money from being an encourager (I know there's a better name for it). If they're not trying to make money from it I suppose they're simply trying to get more followers but I'm pretty sure they're both related. I feel the same about some of the YouTubers. I enjoy watching YT for information for other hobbies (not for knives) and have some preferred people to watch but hate when any of them state to hit the like button & don't forget to subscribe lol.


Ok thread derail over and back to our regularly scheduled program...

Retiring the PM2, one of the most popular folding knife models of all time, would be shooting themselves in the foot. Why would any company in their right mind retire their best selling product? I don't carry any of my PM2s very often anymore but I still think it's a great model. And as far as "fixing that nub that everyone hates"....no issue with it for me. I think I'm fortunate that my hands must be about the same size as Sal & Eric's. Pretty much all the Spyderco models I have fit my hands perfect

The OP posts screenshots of his posts on the forum on his Insta where we are used as a punchline. Seems weird to me. This forum falls into his trap every time and his "likes" go up. And before he can make a meme of this and say okay boomer, I'm 31 lol.

That's pretty sketchy, but whatever. Let them come over here and see what's really going on!

Hmmm, you're only 31...I always figured 88 in your name was for the year you were born. I surely hope it doesn't have anything to do with a particular Cowboys WR that used to wear #88! :eek: :p

There are other "Shaman" designs in-the-works, including a thinner lighter one with a thinner blade stock.

Hey Sal,

Thank you for the reply. That sounds awesome. Love it.

Folks, I am not defending the guy and I don´t know anything about Instagram - but I´d say: Let´s perhaps calm down a bit and look at what actually happened and was posted on instagram (?):

- He actually had a Shaman idea (skinny Shaman) - sure, many (among them a man named Sal Glasser ) had that idea previously, but this happens all the time on this forum: Someone proposes something that has already been proposed some time ago
- He started a thread about that idea and it started a lot of (partly interesting) discussion
- Sal stopped by an did let us know what was going on (that he is already working on a thinner, lighter Shaman)
- OP loved that Sal did this
- And posted all of the above on instragram (? if this is instagram)

That´s all I can see (but perhaps I am missing something), looking at it realistically, right? No claiming that he was the first one with this idea and Sal gladly took it from him...

For me, it was the part where he said "MY Shaman idea" When this, as you have mentioned has been discussed quite a few times already and Sal himself likely leading the project.
