I came across this pic today...
This vector pic opens a big issue...
The maker had/has no authorization whatsoever to reproduce this design.
Intellectual property is protected and there is a big issue over copyright
infringments that he is doing.
The design of the vector
is now under microtech's protection since I sold the rights to them.
This is the only prototype (read that one..) done of the Vector and I'm the only owner of it:
I have never authorized this maker to make any additional Vectors and there is only
one prototype, no more.
I will send a letter to the Guild maker's association and the florida
knifemaker's association so they can be aware of the situation.
So be aware and don't buy any Vector "prototype" since I have the only one ever done.
For your regular Vector needs, feel free to contact Microtech knives for different versions.
Best regards,
