SMKW's SharpKidz program

I signed up my grandson for SMKW's SharpKidz program when it first came out. I have attached a letter I just sent to them about the program. Has anyone else signed up someone for the program? I'd like to know your thoughts.

To the fine folks at SMKW,

What has happened to the SharpKidz program? My grandson signed up when it started. He has knives from the first, and only, offering devoted to SharpKidz. He received 1, count it, 1 newsletter. He has yet to receive a second newsletter.

The children of today are your future customers. I have spent a lot of time developing a love for knives in him and all that goes with it to help him have a hobby that is unique, interesting, filled with history, and just plain ol' fun. I am very disappointed that this program has seemingly fallen through the cracks. Is it still in existence? If it is do you have any offerings for them of new knives and maybe at least a quarterly newsletter? Right now his TV interests are limited to some Discovery channel shows and the Nickelodeon network. I really hope he gets older and more educated in knives by me before he trips over the Cutlery Corner Network of cheap knives that are nothing more than fancy paperweights for the most part. He and I enjoyed watching Knives Live together. There have been some rumors circulating of another type of show y'all are developing. Any truth to the rumors?

I think the world of SMKW and all the fine people who work there and love the great products you carry. I would just like to see the SharpKidz program given the opportunity to really benefit those who will eventually be your benefactors. Can you please respond to this mailing so we have an idea of any future developments with the program?

Respectfully a currently satisfied customer,

Charles "Chuck" Parham

I sincerely hope that SMKW responds and gives you (us, too) some answers to the questions and concerns that you have cited in your letter. You are spot-on when you mention that the children of today are the consumers of tomorrow.

No successful farmer would ever expect to reap a bountiful harvest without first cultivating and then nurturing his crop. Hopefully SMKW will appreciate how vital a program like SharpKidz really is and begin to place a greater emphasis on growing a healthy crop of new customers. Time will tell?

Oh, yeah! They also need to occasionally water and sprinkle a little fertilizer on us old growth customers, as well. lol

Cheers, my friend!
