Herbertz "Mississippi" - A Hobbit Warrior rip-off or not?

Jani Kemppainen · Sep 20, 1999

This knife from the German company Herbertz looks exactly like the Hobbit Warrior. There used to be a picture of it available on a Finnish dealer's website, but not anymore. I can't remember the specs. Anyhow, I'd be curious to know if this is a licenced product or a rip-off. I'd be grateful if any of you guys at REKAT (or other forumites) could tell me more about this.

I have no knowledge of the knife you are refering to. There is a very cheap cheesy knock off of the full sized Warrior I belive $29.95 sold here. Those that buy trash knives are not our market it actualy beat AMK to the market go figure. If it's made in Europe and sold there there is nothing we can do. If you get further info it would be a hoot to at least look. Thanks for the heads up.

I could ask the dealer to put the picture again on his page after he has finished rebuilding it. I can't remember the specs, so I can't say for sure, was it like a Warrior or more like a Hobbit Warrior. But believe me, if you saw that, there would be no doubt about where did the design to that knife come from.
