List of Knock-off crap brands

Holy crap, thats an even better knock off than the Gerber version. At least Gerber changed the shape of the holes

the worst are the knockoffs of the smith & wesson /taylor brands.:barf: its similar to them,but just made a little cheaper.like those folding tacticals with the skeletonized handles.or they are made in the same factory & just marked differently.theres knockoffs of the gerber air ranger & knives already made in tawain.sterile knockoffs :barf:
 
That skull knife is totally tough. At the surplus shop I recently saw a bunch of incredibly bizarre Chinese knives, one of which had 8 locking blades, 4 each on both sides of a shaft, so when you opened the whole thing up, it looked like an Olympic torch with blades pointing in every direction. SOOO TACTICAL!!! There was another one that had 4 locking blades coming off of a sort of T handle so that you could wear it and look like Freddy Krueger or Wolverine. Only problem was, if you didn't keep your hand in just the right position, the blades would come down and slice up your knuckles real good. I learned that the hard way.

Fury has to be the undisputed king of knock offs. I've seen them rip off almost every knife out there: Spyderco, Benchmade, Lone Wolf, Strider, Gerber, CRKT, Smith & Wesson, Microtech, MOD, Buck etc. etc. etc. It's pretty amazing. They are very industrious, those Chinese. The funny thing is, there's an even cheaper, crappier company that knocks off Fury. Get this: that company's name is "Fory". Poetic justice! Can you imagine how funny it would be if Fury tried to sue Fory for trademark infringement?

I got a few fury blades, folders that look loke balis. I bought them to practice closed moves while I was waiting for the real thing. I could never carry those with me, they are total crap. The grip is horrible but the worst thing is the lock. There is a HUGE play. So huge that when you shake the knife, you can hear the blade hitting the lock at different places...

Can we also mention Smith and Wesson?
 
sheffield mfg is a pretty big one. I've seen them copy winchester, buck, gerber, kershaw.... On their website www.sheffield-tools.com (i tihnk thats it) you can see them all. and their so called "classic 5" lockback" is hilarious. I saw one at the store, and the handle isn't wood, its plastic painted over, so from a distance it looks like wood.

Oh man I gotta buy this www.sheffield-tools.com/products/12913.aspx :eek:
 
Maxam, Geber, M-Tech, Smith & Wesson, United, Frost. Of these, M-Tech's probably the best followed by Smith.

Hey, if you do, please post a mini-review here. Part of this knife looks serrated and part doesn't. The blade also is just over five inches so it's very large. It would be a good knife to keep in the trunk, but would think some of the wholesale places could beat the $18 price.

That knife does look cool.
 
I wonder how many of these knives are just "no-name" examples of other firm's knives made by the same manufacturer.

That CS look-a-like, for example.
 
Makes you wonder. Do they use the same dies and molds, or does someone actually go through the trouble of making new ones to mimic the originals.

I like clones. They seem like they'd be lots of fun to collect, maybe even moreso than the originals.

As most of these knives look very similar to the original knives, but not identical, I don't think the factories use the same dies and molds.

It's no big problem and doesn't take long to produce dies and molds similar to the original ones. And who knows, in some cases the data might have leaked. It also might happen that a knife manufacturer produces these similar looking knives in a different factory building.

When outsourcing production to China you have to be prepared for some unexpected surprises :rolleyes:
