Lets close this thread before it starts to really drift off course.
Also, just in case there is still any confusion about clones, copies, fakes, homages or what ever you want to call them, here's a couple of excerpts from Bladeforums site rules.
SECTION 3 - Rules for Everyone -
3. Do not list items or offer services that are illegal. This includes counterfeit, clone, and knock off items. We don't want them here, period.
SECTION 5 - Miscellaneous -
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.
