コンバットマガジン、ナイフマガジン（ワールドフォトプレス刊）誌上に於いて
ストライダーナイフの広告塔として登場したマイク・エイジャックス。
自称元ローデシアSASを騙るマイクの経歴に真相追求のメスが入れられた！
永田市郎によって、撮影されたマイクのバウンティー・ハンター身分証に、"Michael Eug..."と記載。
此処から、我々が、導き出したマイクの本名(?)が、"Michael Eugene"。
早速、アメリカのグーグルを駆使し、"Michael Eugene, Ajax, Grayman Knives"を検索した結果、
発見したのが次のサイトだ。

"DB" = Darryl Bolke
"DD" = Duane Dwyer aka Thomas D. Poland Jr. aka Thomas Duane Dwyer, aka Thomas Dwyer, aka Duane T. Poland
"MS" = Mick Strider, aka Mickey Ray Burger
"PR" = Patrick A. Rogers
"MB" = Mike Eugene Bottoms, aka Mike Ajax, aka, Mike Everywhere
次に、C Squadron Special Air Service Regiment宛に送付された、一通のクレーム・メールを提示する。

Topic: "Full Mental Jacket " ?
Emails were sent to his "MANTRACK" addy and there has been no reply to the RSAS and myself.
The RSAS has requested me to go on record as asking Michael Eugene Bottoms a.k.a. "Mike Ajax" to cease and desist from using their name and any affiliation of the RSAS "C" Squad. The President Dan O'Sullivan has requested this and there is documentary proof.
exhibited below are proof of claims by the aforementioned individual.

Who Dares Wins
Micheal Bottoms claims among other things to have
eleven "knife kills", quite bizarre, whilst serving as a
member of Csqn, He Isnt. Unfortuneatly Mr Bottoms
has been instructing the USMC, I hate to think what
he has been saying. Click HERE

Quick Review on the Grayman Sub-Saharan series

"Design: The Sub-Saharan series is one of the best designs to come out of Grayman knives. First, if these seem slightly familiar, like something you may have seen from MercWorx or even a Strider Ajax there’s good reason for this. Mike had a large role in designing many of the knives of MercWorx and collaborated on the Ajax and Mantrack. However, unlike Mercworx there are no fine polishes or stainless steels."
Truth in fact is Mike had more than a large role, he flat out designed the Strider knives "Ajax" & "Mantrack".
Regardless of the performance and ability of the knives & it's important to those honorably serve to clarify the TRUTH.
Grayman Knives , aka Mike Bottoms (his legal name), aka Mike Everywhere, aka Mike Ajax was outed as a FRAUD after he made claims of FAKE RSAS service. There are books available still in circulation where his claims are plainly fraudulent. I know where there are several copies of the books.
He was outed as a FAKE/FRAUD by real deal RSAS/Selous Scouts like David Scott Donelan who know any and all Americans that served with them during the Rhodesian conflicts. It was two Americans BTW. I'm a Combat Tracker certified & vetted by David as well & continue to work w/ David on various projects.

BTW, He claims to have killed a Baboon w/ a knife as part of the RSAS selection process & have 11 confirmed kills w/ a blade.
Pure BS.
Talk about driving Kool Aid stock up !
He was part of Strider Knives FRAUD from the beginning.
Which you can find here:

While the knives may perform and work well I wanted to give others that read & are not informed the ability to make their own decisions.
I have seen the evidence & know the people involved including the RSAS Squadron. They are upset still, as real deal Operators and do not appreicate the deception and fraud.
Here's another reference to RSAS w/ aka Mike Ajax (as in the CLEANER)

While it may not matter to some, being operational myself still as a contractor it matters to the men I know & circles I run in. Keep in mind it does matter to others that serve honorable and do not fabricate their operational experience.
Smoke & Mirrors matters to many people especially when your claiming to have a highly elite level of operational experience in order to gain TRUST & confidence etc.
If someone doesn't have the CREDS or standards then they should not be able to identify with that organization or association. Which is exactly why there are standards and CREDS.
I would not hire or TRUST a Monkey to to do brain surgery no matter how proficient he claimed he was.
BTW, I cleared this w/ M4C personnel before I posted.
以上のような情報が、2003年に、確認可能だったのだが、
2011年7月29日 15:26時点での、永田市郎のブログで、発表された見解は、次の通りである。
「SASの公式サイトの方が胡散臭いかもですね。」
最後に、アメリカにおける、ストライダー議論の、参考リンクを提示する。
永田らに、屈従する、消費者意識の低レベル振りが、誰の目にも、明らかとなるであろう。
