My experience with Toby has been very positive. It is my opinion that Toby is all about advancing the sport of muzzleloading (Modern and Traditional) and supporting companies with the same mind set. When Knight folded, T/C stepped up to the plate. I don't know if T/C approached him or he approached T/C...in my mind it doesn't matter.
IMHO, Toby's online articles, blog, and web site is a net positive for muzzleloading. It doesn't matter to me if he is shooting a Knight or a T/C, his overall mind set hasn't changed.
