Hello, everyone!

I would just like to use this blog as a forum to let everyone know about some exciting changes that are taking place here at the Moteng International Headquarters! Here is a letter from our President, Les Edelstein, explaining it all:

——————————————-

Moteng is extremely pleased to announce that with immediate effect, Mr. Andrew A. Kroll has been appointed President and CEO of the company.

Mr. Kroll, formerly the CEO of Kroll International, a leading distributor of Law Enforcement Products, and current CEO of digPETS, the nation’s largest distributor of luxury pet products, brings his considerable expertise, knowledge and resources to Moteng.

Meet Keith Shelton - Account Executive

Posted by Kelsey Stewart on Aug 31, 2009 in MEET OUR STAFF

There are few of America’s cutlery retailers who are unfamiliar with Moteng’s Account Executive Keith Shelton. Since 1994, he has made it his life’s work to ensure that knife stores from coast-to-coast are up-to-speed on the latest releases from 50 or more of the world’s favorite cutlery manufacturers. Some of these stores have heard from him on a weekly basis from the very beginning. His specialty is loading up a Pelican PL1650BK case with the latest products being offered at Moteng and hitting the road to show them off; a specialty that has taken him from Hawaii to Maine and back 15 times, now. We asked him what the hot items were going to be for this holiday season, and he excitedly rattled off the following info:

Spyderco’s Bob Lum Chinese Folder (C65FGP and C65FGPBK): “Moteng was fortunate to be granted the exclusive for the limited 600 piece run of each of Spyderco’s most graceful designs, courtesy of the late Bob Lum. These versions have foliage green handles (closer to grey with a slight green tint), VG10 steel blades and look especially good in the black blade version.”

Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack: “Ladies, all guys have one thing in common - they want one of these; in 8 colors. The black is very popular and goes with everything. Avoid the orange foliage if you plan on being seen in public with him (although it’s great for deer hunters). Also, try not to call it a ‘manpurse’ in front of him.”
