We believe in our great country and we believe in freedom.
We believe in our servicemen and women, and we want them to have the best gear money can provide - not some "low-bidder" junk some pinhead politician thinks they should carry.
So we make our items by hand, with attention given to details often missed by others, because they lack the necessary field experience, imagination and skills to know what works and what's needed - and to bring those ideas into the light of the real world.
We make impossible gear for impossible situations. We do this for our greatest friends - because they are out there in the bad places, holding back the darkness for us all.
At DS&S, we make gear for legends.
Our plan is to avoid living under a bridge with all of our belongings in a shoebox. But shit happens, so we're preparing for everything. Our plan does not include having to live in some post-apocalyptic hell after the Earth is hit by an asteroid. Bruce Willis is on speed-dial for that, even though he is getting a bit old to manage all that saving-the-world stuff.
Our plan does not include starring in a cooking show on television - or appearing on QVC. We'll take the whole "end-of-world" scenario before that. Our plan does not include griffons or unicorns or wizards, so don't even ask.
We plan to make lots of knives.
We plan to sell lots of knives.
But that plan doesn't involve shitheads.
So if you are a shithead, piss-off.
We plan to make and sell lots of knives, but we don't plan to involve weird foreign countries. Some foreign countries aren't weird. Those are our allies and we like them. The other ones may be lovely places with fun and interesting people - but we don't like those telephone answering services that connect to those countries for technical support issues. That's a huge turn-off.
Screw 'em. To a tank tread if necessary.
