Truthfully, I've never had so much fun in a forum as I have had in the Knives community. It has changed the way I buy and WANT to buy. Losing that would be akin to losing friends…

I'll live if the community stays named EDC. I guess they're collapsing the communities down into a few central ones because they want to build core competencies in their sales team -- they've said as much recently. This will take time, if they make it work.
It's just kind of weird going into the EDC thing and seeing a bunch of kitchen knives. Like, my kitchen knives stay in the kitchen as a general rule. Drop has some odd ideas about the things people carry around with them on a daily basis.
I'm sure their decision to keep selling kitchen knives even though the cooking and knives communities no longer exist as such, isn't that they all carry chef knives in their pockets and think it's normal, but because they were making some money at it. Me, I would just sort of pause on the kitchen knives - I don't think they're selling things that will build their brand at all, I think their collabs on kitchen knives are just geek bait, made out of cool sounding super steels that turn out to be bad fits for a real kitchen or an audience that knows the first thing about cooking with knives. Honestly it looks like their suppliers sort of ran the table on them -- there isn't a single one of their kitchen knives I'd buy, and I love to cook. If they want to sell glitzy chef knives to EDC enthusiasts that don't really cook anyway but want to buy cool things, they should just keep at it. If they want a cooking community to start springing up, they can't leave it in EDC. Way different products, way different buyers, way different motivations and needs. Buyers have a lot better of a chance of knowing if something looks cool enough to EDC than they do knowing whether a piece of cooking gear is good kit. It's a competency that will take a lot longer to build and burnish than just slinging EDC to the sons of the city.

AxeguyI feel the same way Axeguy. I've had some of my best knife related conversations on here. Not to mention I've bought some of my favorite knives here as well. Gavko Thresher, Garry Mcginnis Rowdy, Farrum Forge Gent. I hope the powers that be figure out how to straighten the ship before it hits the proverbial Iceberg. 🚢 😲.

I miss Massdrop
Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?

Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?

How do I stop renewal of keyboard club?
Hi there, I've been a member of the keyboard club for the past year, I'm afraid that in the next 24h the Keyboard Club will renew automatically. I have checked on my profile but couldn't find anywhere a way to stop it. Did i miss it ? Will it renew automatically ? TIA Mauringhio

Anybody know how much we have to pay in Europe when buying stuff from Drop?
I'd like to buy the Sennheiser 6xx but I have no idea how much is going to be after adding delivery and custom fees. Does anyone know? I live in Spain.

USB-C Port glitchy AF on my Drop SHIFT, arrrrgh help
As above, my keyboard routinely drops connection with my computer; I've tried three different computers, they're not the issue. It resolves itself after being "hard reset" (unplugged), but it's driving me insane because obviously it acts up more when I need it most. All drivers seem to be up to date, any thoughts? (I've also changed the cable, please ppl)
