Good Day,
There has been some talk lately about the "Jogger" knife by Smith and Wesson aka Taylor Cutlery. It has been identified as a knock off or fairly direct copy of Darell Ralph's neck knife based on his highly original Krait.
So this got me thinking, which led me to do some research. And here is what I found.
Magnum is connected to Boker USA and they sell knockoffs of CRKT, Carson, Benchmade, SOG, Emerson, and Boguzewski designs.
Smith and Wesson aka Taylor Cutlery sells knockoffs of Carson, Ralph, and Benchmade designs.
United sells knockoffs of Carson, Kershaw/Onion, Cold Steel.
Junglee, I did not have a catalog at work, but I remember they sell knives that look a mightly bit like other knives.
Double 8 trading sells knockoffs of designs by MicroTech, Terzuola, Kershaw/Onion, Al Mar, Spyderco 5 times or more, Sidelinger, Peter Stebbins by Kubasek, Carson, Emerson, Elishewitz, Walker, Benchmade, CRKT, Crawford 3 times, Boguzewski, Buck, Katz, SOG, Cold Steel, Boker, AG Russell, Hibben, Gerber, Ka Bar, Nealy, Ontario I think, and Phrobis/Buck.
That's a lot of knock offs.
So what should we do?
Bear this in mind, many of these knives are made in China, the "Peoples Republic of". As James K Mattis puts it, "The world's largest political prison".
Now, everybody copies Loveless and Randall.
I have seen Terzuola designs around that don't have his name on them.
What do we do with retailers that sell Chinese made knives?
