It's quite possible it wasn't trademarked when Rob made that knife. Further, even if it is infringement, I don't see what pointing it out will do at this point. I'm guessing most makers don't even realize it is trademarked until notified of it.

A certain quote Steve Jobs liked to use comes to mind.

I have a feeling there is a good story behind this one.

"never speak ill of the dead" Only respect to Rob and what he accomplished before he was taken from us way too early.

My only intention of this thread was to bring this possible "Infringement ?" to the attention of the person or people it possibly could be a concern to. With todays accurate foreign and domestic knockoffs showing up more and more, and this knife being sold by what seems to possibly be a 2nd or even 3rd party, I felt it may be of interest, and possibly worth being looked into. It wasn't my intention to accuse the late Mr. Simonich of anything or start a debate about trademarks or copyrights.

If it's ok with the mods, I'm closing this thread as I feel it's served its intended purpose.
