I totally understand what has been said.
Personally, I don't see much difference between SAK and LM strategies. Both brands have kept some of their lines quite similar over the years and have created many totally different models too.
I don't really see a problem with a brand launching disrupting products. Different people has totally different needs, and the manufacturers give us all the versatility it the variety we claim as costumers. Both companies play the game of leaving pendant each time some details so we keep waiting for, searching and buying new products. Most of their products are good & interesting enough as to review and acquire them but perhaps no one of them is totally satisfying.
I agree in the fact that these companies have left some unsolved issues, like better sheaths, and others, and they have proposed solutions as well. IMHO both brands have done a pretty good job keeping our attention and willingness to buy and, what's more important, use their products, which means that they have launched quite a few good things.
Just like Metasyntax so remarkably pointed out, our gear communities are focusing more on products we buy than in what we do with them.
Of course. Instead of just talking about things we buy or only superficially describing them, our attention, wants and decision as customers will regulate market more efficiently and provide more vision for these large companies to re-define their strategies in an even better way, if we share and speak more about the jobs we do, problems we solve using their products, as well as the challenges we were not able overcome with them.
