Anyone seen the weird 1/2 sized XL folder clones ?

[DocJD]

Just noticed several listings on EvilBay that look like 5.5" blade XL Cold Steel Voyagers .

But near as I can tell from the measurements and ruler in their photos , these clones must be about 1/2 the proper size ? Could this even be true ? What kinda is that ?

Imagine the consternation upon opening your new clone from China and finding a miniVoyager !
I thought it was funny in a sick joke way , but also to beware of the clones .

Buy from trusted sources only or get taken .

yeah I started a thread about this a while back.
There's clones of:

XL Clip point and Tanto Voyager
XL Rawles Voyager
VL Vaquero Voyager
Rajah 2 (it's a linerlock)
Tuff Lite
AK47
Rajah 3
Urban Pal
Super Edge
Ti-Lite IV

plus those other "Cold Steel" branded ones that ain't a copy of a real model
Those f*ckheads make me real angry

Do you think they are really small scale copies or just a confusion of translation ?

They may have not wanted to deal with setting up for such a large sized folder .But I can't imagine anyone being happy with a pint sized "XL" clone . Ridiculous !

I have a particular hatred of counterfeits because it makes shopping for bargains very difficult . Really have to trust the source these days .
