Taxi_Driver is a fellow Brit and knows who to deal with because he knows that I stick with my creed and don't like the infestation in the UK.
Patster now knows that I am fine to deal with.
Tripton has no idea what he is talking about the crusade is against Benchmade to revoke the BALI-SONG trademark so guys don't have to go through frivolous lawsuits because they use the word "balisong" Then to get the 866 patent to be revoked because the patent is narrow in its scope and a functionality should not have a patent and if any the patent is from 1997 and should be expired by now. This will stop Benchmade from the frivolous lawsuits that have happened against MOD, Randall King, Al Mar, and countless others. Why do you think Benchmade makes other peoples knives? Could it be that part of it is because of patent issues? Narrow minded people are the apathetic problem in America. I'll be laughing when the patents get revoked you can count on that.
yerscattergun That is cool you are entitled to your opinion but the Canadians, Brits, and Aussies know who to come to for things that is for sure just ask them. Attitude is relative to keep away punks, there are so many juvenile delinquents that are fraudsters and nothing more than trouble that pushing the issue like I do keeps them away. Firefighters, Military, and Law Enforcement don't need guys to bullshit them or kiss there ass. I don't kiss anyone's ass for anything whatsoever. Pride before Dishonor.
Kristo's problem will be solved and then he can post just how I handle things because people do make mistakes and he is right about having it posted on how I handle things.
AnimalHousePA just is a shit talker and has nothing better to do with his time, so that is futile.
Skoi thanks and I'm glad I've done things correct with you and that I do have some guys at my defense because going up against Benchmade has made the fanboys real angry that their precious is being attacked. Sméagol is a real pain in the ass that is for sure. Gollum will be destroyed that is for sure.
whippersnapper that is a good heads up Leverstiletto is the clone from now on to avoid nonsense issues on that. Ask the guys in Texas about it who bring it in, Richardson TX to be exact that is the importer. If wholesale suppliers have it and market it then shit flows down hill their genius, they post it as Leverletto and I had no prior knowledge of a Trademark name but if this is the case now I do so done said and changed. Things are not always what they seem because certain items have trademarks, patents, and others nonsense patents. Kershaw always is a pleasure to deal with when infringements are noted, same goes for SOG. Benchmade is the monster who likes the lawyers, litigation, and nonsense. But the guys who mouth off don't understand things because they don't do anything other than buy or talk about what they can not afford most times.
HKBM45 is the notorious bigoted Benchmade fan in its full entirety. He does nothing but spot out useless things to defend a disgracefully run business. Read the lawsuit yourself. I posted everything online because I am tired of the crap Benchmade does, then everyone, I don't care who sees the lawsuit.
I have absolutely nothing to hide go here and view the case the lawyers letters and all the bullshit that goes with Benchmade

You want to know who had the Benchmite clone and who imported it, ask the guys in Richardson Texas to talk to you about it, if you are in the business then you know exactly who I am talking about.
I sold 11 items in 9 sales for $200 making $75 profit that is it boys and girls and then no notice, no papers, no phone calls, just being served with a lawsuit. Welcome to how Benchmade handles things, like thugs and bullies.
Kershaw, SOG and other companies simply talk then state the problem and ask where did you get the items and the problem is solved.
Benchmade no they get vendettas and take it personal and so do I because the case is utter bullshit and what they do to knife sellers needs to be understood and told so that other knife sellers do not ever consider selling anything of theirs.
It is not to get Benchmade to back down or anything of the sort, the things are posted to inform and warn other knife sellers of the problems.
The 866 Patent has effected Cam and Tom at Bladeplay, go to their website and look for yourself

The issue is huge there are countless guys being "BANGED OUT" by Benchmade on false charges, crap they make up, and things that simply are unjust and the Trademarks and Patents need to be revoked period.
Now thanks to Benchmade, Smith & Wesson is going to pull their endorsement on knives and not produce things, this was noted by Don at CG. Then BOKER models now have all the channels filled in so that they all have to be milled just like the Taylor Cutlery models of the Smith & Wesson and Schrade, this could also be an import issue but Benchmade reeks all over it.
Then thanks to Benchmade all BOKER Magnum, Kalashnikov, and Reality Base models, all Smith & Wesson HRT, Extreme OPS models, and Schrade models, all the Chinese and Taiwanese models they all are now not allowed to have the locking device on the knife period if you are in America according to Benchmade.
Most major sellers are now simply taking the lock device out of the knife because this way their is no patent nonsense, thanks to this being exposed it allows us to sell the product and tell Benchmade to get lost.
All those in other countries that means everyone else on the planet other than Americans can do as they please.
But you people are so close minded and don't see the issues with anything other than insulting and complaining about how I attack Benchmade. it is for a reason just like I attacked EBAY.
Yeah remember me EBAY, I was the one that took them to the California District Attorney forcing them to allow the sale of ASSISTED KNIVES, that was also me against PAYPAL.
Where were you clowns when things hit the fan, you backed down and let them bone you.
Not me, you live by the sword, then you die by the sword period.
