If you want to believe they have separate factories just for clones, and crap like this go ahead and believe it. That's fine, and doesn't affect me in the least.
These are built in a factory that already has knife making down. I don't think they're going to say "we shouldn't build these in the same factory, that would just be wrong". "I know it would cost a lot to build a separate factory right next door, but we must do it since its the right thing to do".
Just think about it. But like I said, It's fine if people doesn't believe they could ever do such a dishonorable thing in China. None of my business what people choose to believe.
Can you counterfeit something that doesn't exist?
Really, it's neither. It's a counterfeit but simultaneously an original design with significant modifications. It's not really a clone either, as there is no identical model to compare it to.
And how in the flying frog farts this crap is allowed on BFC amazes me. The name of who makes it is on the freaking pictures. Should be throat punched, kicked and set on fire
Yes you can. It is a counterfeit. It uses the CRK logo. It is made to imitate a CRK. That is a counterfeit the folks who buy it are supporting counterfeiters and hurting the honest knife industry, CRK, Bladeforums specifically, and the knife hobby in general.
And how in the flying frog farts this crap is allowed on BFC amazes me. The name of who makes it is on the freaking pictures. Should be taken down or the photo should be edited.
