everything else is second or third hand at best.

Exactly!

A little first-hand input could clear the whole thing up and put a quick end to these rumors and accusations.

It is perfectly true that there is absolutely no legal obligation for Mr. Miller to answer accusations of design piracy made in an internet discussion forum. However, not doing so is not enhancing his businesses reputation or his own.

Media-savvy businesses have discovered that when rummors and accusations start to fly, the best thing to do is blunt them with the facts and be open and honest about it.

If Mr. Miller has a license or ownership interest in these designs, he would, IMHO, do himself and his business a great favor by quickly and factually explaining that. All questions regarding intellectual property theft would be immediately mute.

As I have said repeatedly, to me (and I suspect others) it doesn't matter how good the knives may be, how well-designed, how controlled the blood spray, how miraculous the steel, if the designs are stolen. If Mr. Miller wants to get on with a discussion of how good the knives are, how well-designed they are, how controlled the blood spray is, or how miraculous the steel is, he must first answer the issue of the ownership of the designs. Only after that issue has been dispensed with can we talk about other aspects of the knives. So, if Mr. Miller can easily address the design issue perhaps by simply asserting that he has a license or partial ownership, and if wants to get on with discussion the other aspects of his knives, he would be well-advised to go beyond what is legally required of him and simply make those assertions.

He is not legally required to do that, no. But, I think it would be a very good idea nonetheless.
 
G, I asked Frank about that on the phone. His response was his designs where based on ER designs, but that he made improvements and modifications. I pointed out they seemed pretty trivial and his response was approximately that everything in the knife world has been done before and that his designs where different knives. I don't agree with that, but I suppose each can have their own opinion.
 
Gentlemen, lets remember that we are in the Blade Discussion Forum , not whine & Cheese, no matter how casual the attitude toward this subject may be.

Well, my reading skills are just fine. maybe you can tell me about what a tactical knife is suppose to be???????

maybe we should yell at subaru for having a boxer style engine like uh, porsche. or BASF who dosent make the product, only make it better.
wasnt there a little something going on with curtiss aircraft and the wright brothers?????
what about the original Gibson humbucking pickup, which is reproduced not as a copy of, but, the same design only improved upon. there are many knives out there that are very close designs to each other, dont ya think?

a blade a locking system and a handle ( on a folder anyway) if i were the one tha had to use a knife to pry open a rusty ammo can, or cut out a windshied to save someones life or my own, or use it to pry wooden ammo crates open and then still expect it to perform to defend myself with the blade in one piece.... i would want the best tool for the job period......

and what about if your hands were wet with H2O or your own blood, i would want a knife that i coould hold onto. aluminum handeled knives without something on them get very slick (been there)
 
It's not just the fact that their designs are pirated, their AD copy is a disgrace, and paints a very poor picture of the knife buying public.

Blah, The knives are marketed to the general public. They are not restricted to the Mil/LE market. They are just building hype with their silly ads.
