Sad, but true. What has the world come to?

If you don't know what you are doing an ET can bite you.......... a $4.80 ET knock off could mangle you if it is actually sharp....... for 4.80 I'd be surprised if they bothered to sharpen it though.......

What a disgusting POC.

For that price I would guess it to be made from painted tin foil.

The ripoff artists are taking a stab (pun!) at more complex designs - ET and there's a Spyderco Poliwog like one on there. These aren't just liner locks anymore. Shameful and wrong.

This is stupid, I'm almost tempted to get one for side-by-side comparison with my E.T. just to see how poor quality it is. But then, I'd be giving money to companies who sell OBVIOUS knock-off fakes.

EDIT: They also have a Spyderco Smallfly or Spyderfly knock off that has Spyderco engraved on the blade http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3444

DealXTreme is annoying. I've bought a flashlight from them before, because who cares, it's a flashlight. But a folding knife? That's asking for death.

how about this "classy" "Gerber" folding knife?

I just looked at the site a bit for fun.......... the designs they tend to copy the most are low end Buck, Mantis and S&W knives. The funniest thing about it all is that they are copies of knives I wouldn't buy anyway.

You mean they actually copied a Mantis knife? That's like making a knock-off of a Yugo!

I suppose it is possible Mantis ripped off their design

Holy crap Batman, that is too funny.

Ouch, they did not rip off the safety design on their version of the ET. That's going to be a painful way to learn about getting what you payed for.
