Dear Andrew Roy of Fiddleback Forge,

I am writing to advise you that your use of the Rough-assed Cord Wrap in the making of your knives infringes on the trademark rights of Wildertools. I understand that you may not have been aware of this trademark or of Wildertools' long-standing use of the Rough-assed Cord Wrap. Therefore, I ask that you refrain from using the Rough-assed Cord Wrap to make any knife, sword, tomahawk or related products. Rick Marchand(Wildertools) owns the U.S., Canadian, Rwandan, Tasmanian and Kazakhstanian trademark registrations and has used the Rough-assed Cord Wrap in connection with knives and related handles since at least 2006. Wildertools owns the exclusive right to use this handle construction in connection with those products.

I ask that you discontinue the use of the Rough-assed Cord Wrap and any confusingly similar trademark, and remove any references and pictures from any websites and Social Media pages within 10 days from receipt of this letter. Please also remove any references to the Rough-assed Cord Wrap in printed materials before the next print edition or version of those materials is released.

I also kindly ask that you post a retraction online regarding this error, ensuring that there is no further misunderstanding within your client or fan community. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter, and advise my team of the steps you will take to help remedy this situation.


Best Regards,

Richard S. Marchand
President

Don't get mad, but San Mai is a friend of mine.
 
I might Rustic Wrap your mom. Whatcha say to that.
 
I rolled up your $5 and cut it in half like some flimsy tatami mat.
 
Couple of thoughts:
1. "A polite request" accompanied with that avatar seem a bit oxymoronic
2. I suggest you guys settle this through a combat using each knifemaker's biggest knife model.
3. I'll take the $5
4. LOL
 
.... I suggest you guys settle this through a combat using each knifemaker's biggest knife model.

That would just get messy and delay a lot of steel enjoyment for a lot of people. I say they settle it with a drinking contest in the pit at Blade :D
