Thanks for the heads up brother. Just got a little fired up. My bad
牛b,在外国的论坛上终于看到中国人了啊!
幸会!
Google translated.
"Cattle in the foreign forum finally see the Chinese people, ah! Nice to meet you"
Explain what you mean by "cattle" ?

It's a slang exclamation. Not to be directly translated. The actual direct translation is slightly more vulgar. Google "牛b" if you wish (Wikitionary - Adjective #2).
The Applegate Fairbarn. It's been copied by, or given inspiration to, probably dozens of other makers/companies from countries all over the world. In my opinion, that is not nearly the same thing as those companies which copy a knife down to the logo. One is outright theft and the other, at least as I see it, is a slippery slope. There is nothing new under the sun and all of that.Well, not really. He posts one original design and one Boker knockoff, but they look like nice knives nonetheless.

:thumbdn: Isn't that the same guy that started the thread "If knife too expensive you buy fake" I thought he was fishing for customers...How hard would it be to design your own knife and produce it ???:thumbup: on the original design, but that company would never get my business from the Blatant copies that they've made of other knives.
Should we feel insulted ?

No offense was given. A more accurate translation of his post would be:
"Awesome! Another Chinese user on a U.S. forum! Nice to meet you!"
Online translators are pretty much useless for slang and vernacular.
Just a word of note to those that support counterfeiters by importing branded fake items into the USA for resale here.
You stand the chance of taking the fall for these guys while they make all the money.
While prosecution can take years of investigation and is somewhat spotty, it does happen. The legal ramifications can be quite severe.
