"On another note we are concerned with the threat to all of the legitimate knife companies and knife buying public with the blatant copy and counterfeiting of products. There are people out there who are exactly copying a product, brand name, logo, and even packaging. We have seen this in greater incidence and are actively combating each and every occurrence."
SOG is worried about "the blatant copy and counterfeiting of products" yet from the looks of things, they have no problem doing it themselves. Sad.
