Man am i the only one getting tired of these fakes that are being posted lately? I mean just today theres Busse clones posted for trade. And "homages" -fakes- of benchmade, hogue spyderco and more posted right now for sale. The exchange rules prevent it yet they keep posting them. Even a mod, who IMO should have known way better.
I cant stand a fake, even if they are listed as a fake, its not good for this hobby -period- in my eyes. But its getting more and more common around here and i think it is a shame.
As per the exchange rules;
Fakes/Homages:
As fakes and homage items are a legal gray area and obviously hurt the hobby, no fake or homage items may be sold on the Exchange. Members may not knowingly sell unlicensed knockoffs or counterfeit versions of knives (or any other goods) based upon the designs of their legitimate owner, manufacturer or custom maker. Additionally, members may not sell any knife or item known or suspected to be other than as described in terms of its lineage and authenticity.
