Another way to think of it Frog, if there was a dedicated knife forum, custom knife makers would have a venue to peddle there wares. Potential lane of revenue for the site from additional sponsorships. If I were in the business of production and knew of a captive audience/potential client base of more than 30,000 individuals that was ready made and interested in my type of product, it would warrant a look see to me.
Personally, I don't know enough about knives and the grades of materials in which they are made. Being able to converse with someone who is knowledgeable of the metallurgy and engineering of a quality blade could only be beneficial in my mind.
