Handmade Abomination-Copyright Issue??

[granitestateofmind]

It's not even the blade, which, although I don't care at all for the looks of it, still looks as if a fair amount of work and attention went into it, but those *ahem* handles. They look as if they are an afterthought, all square edges and sharp angles. They don't even look like they have any sort of finish on them. Like they're made out of plywood or pallet wood or god knows what. Alrighty, I'm done thinking about this abomination. It's making my eyes hurt.

He did a good job on removing the ramp.
Didn't even know the BK2 had one.

didn't you read the description? these are fine, hand-shaped wallnut handles...meaning, he had the nuts to the wall while he was making them...

I believe I started another snark thread

I believe you have, in a single-minded, one-track sort of mode. Since it does not say "snark" in the thread title, however, it's my completely uneducated opinion that this will not be seen by the mods as a concurrent or competing thread, and as such, I say: let it ride, man. Let it ride.

I would cry if I sold something that looked like that.

I will cry if something that looks like that sells.

I am crying, the seller has 100% positive feedback. His items for sale are 2 of those "bk2"s and a "tracker knife 13" handmade....

I checked out that "tracker" last night...that thing couldn't track a skunk in a shipping container.

More like he was wearing this shirt...

Oh my god, where can I get that shirt? All kinds of awesome right there

Seems more like a trademark violation to me.

I swear I opened this thread and "Hungry Like a Wolf" started playing here at the restaurant. I'm crying and laughing and trying not to look like a complete lunatic.
Damn I needed that!!!
Thanks!

Sounds more like a violation of good taste, if you ask me. But nobody ever asks me :grey:.

 

[Eero]

Think I'm going to place a bid

+1. There should be an increased penalty to rip off a companies' IP and make something so craptastic.

 

[zzyzzogeton]

Actually, this is at least the second time he has tried to sell the same knife. The first go round, it went 7 days w/o any bids.

 

[Tdhurl1103]

Looks legit!

 

[Dexwithers]

No comment.




Ok, I can't not comment on this one. All his knives look horrible. Scales look like crap and the blades are just awful. And to use Ka-bar and the Becker name?

Ugh... Im done now.


PS.

Wonder if this guy is on the Becker forum? Haha. That would be funny if he's reading this. Sorry dude, you suck.

 

[stvpourciau]

Yeah, I wonder the same.

But I don't think he would be as I think we all agree here the problem is that he's using the name (other than the fugly handles ) none of us would do that, right?
