[Mister Obvious]

Dude I never realized Lynn Thompson (Cold Steel) had such a cult following...

There's all kind of hilarious nicknames for the guy and people act like he's some kind of god.

It's awesome, and I think it stems from the same reasons why people hated on him and called him a "Mall Ninja"...

There's a certain charm that comes along with being unapologetically yourself, embracing your interests, going for the gusto.

That's what Lynn symbolizes, and it's like he gave these dudes permission to be proud of their love for swords etc.

I dig it. Apparently these folks call themselves "blade heads" and I guess I could be considered one of them.

I've always loved pocket knives and swords, and I have a lot of them but I've never thought it was unusual.

I just figured everybody loves knives.
