That's the Byrd steel. Is this knife made in China? Things like patents don't mean much there. It's also not the first time they used the Spyder hole without liscencing it. Perhaps they figured liscencing it for the AFCK was enough :') Everybody is doing it now. Nobody really believes Mantis liscenced it do they? Joe
they licensed it again. The original AFCK used the round hole with Sal's permission.

You know, what we could really use on this thread are....
FACTS!
.
My mind is made up.
Please don't confuse me with the facts.
Not sure how ergonomic a rectangle block of G10 will be and I don't care for liner locks, but I would like to try this out. Blade grind doesn't look bad. Wonder what the street price will be compared to a G10 Cara Cara.
I'd be surprised if Spyderco gave consent for Benchmade to make this particular knife with their hole.
Lol I really like the idea of a company owning the concept of a hole.
To me thats like owning the concept of hot water.
WHAT !?!?! They heated the water you say?? But we have the patent on that !!! DAMN CHINA, they never respeckt anything.

It's not a patent boys and girls. It's a Trademark. Out of curiousity, when you see a Round Hole, not an oval, not an octogon , not a tear drop, a Round Hole, which knife company do you think of? That's what a Trademark is. The Round Hole is no different than the Butterfly. Let me ask you. Do you think Spyderco would put a Butterfly on one of their knives? Not friggin likely. And there'd be no way they'd do it without permission form BM. Besides, Spyders eat Butterflies. If this is no different than BM with the Blackwood design, it is a rip-off, plain and simple.
