is this an AD knock-off?

over at ebay: 6238397163

kinda looks like an AD to me, but I ain't no HOG so maybe it's just my middle-aged eyes.

D.

It's not exactly the same as an AD, but it sure is close enough to one, nice find

This is either an AD that someone has highly customized (including enlarging the talon holes) or a blatant copy. It is too close in appearance, including handle shape, to be a coincidence.

 

[DirtDiver]

Agree with the above. I call "knock off"

 

[Matteo Escobar]

Yes, that would be a knock-off. :barf:

Yup, looks like a knock off, but could be one that has been customized and Shanghai'ed.

Man, that is one ugly looking copy :barf:

 

[randucci]

Looks like "Le crap".

 

[Solstice]

Merde! :barf:

That looks like somebody practically traced an AD onto a blank to make that knife. Only real difference is the handle material and the diameter of the talon & lanyard holes.

He's also selling what looks to me like a Brad Duncan ripoff here:

I figured since Tomahawk brand is made by United Cutlery, that Jerry could act on it since United gets pissy about people knockin' off the LOTR and Hibben stuff then selling it cheap.

saw the same knife at the santa maria gun show last year. it is a very cheap reproduction, and is larger then the ad in general.
