This is the one I referred to earlier. So, who stole from whom? I dunno, just asking.

You clearly lack the intellect to understand the concept of intellectual property.Just a question, where Did Lundquist get his inspiration from? He pulled that entire idea out of his rear end all by himself? What was he influenced by? Devine inspiration perhaps? Did he make anything like this before? Is it a natural progression of his existing work? Read my earlier post, Paragon Warlock by Ahville Steel looks like a much more likely candidate.
Also, what did Lundquist make? Nothing. A two dimensional drawing without speciations, mechanism, size or materials. Did Lundquist plan on making a necklace knife? No? Well then Lundquist can still make his pocket knives. Did he ever plan to produce these? No? Well he lost less than nothing. Rike it or not, Rike did all the work and created an actual object.
But you didn't see Lundquist's opening mechanism (in the CAD design because he didn't make the knife), because if you did you'd know he used jimping on the top much like a front flipper and not flipper tabs/wave tab.![]()
Here's the DR Madd Maxx the first time I saw the opening mechanism amd blade from the Lundquist this DRalph was what came to mind.

See my original comment to you combined with my comment to cchu
How is that related to the Lundquist design?
Justin says his IG post that the flipper tab is the top, symmetrical part of the closed blade.b00n, as you know all we are doing is speculating. The original drawing provides no definitive proof as to method of blade deployment. So, for me, the side opening Warlock design was just my guess at thepossible inspiration for the side opening mechanism. But we are all just guessing. And to conclude my participation in this thread, the only thing I can say with complete certainty about this entire thread topic is, that I DON’T KNOW.

The difference between the Lundquist design and the Warlock or madmax is far greater than the Lundquist and the Rike. The former are just dagger designs which no one has ownership of. The latter is clearly a copy with a few modifications.
I actually can’t tell how someone wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
Exactly. Just because it isn't illegal doesn't make it right.With a lot of knife design stuff, if there's no patent, there's not much that can legally be done about it. But it bears remembering that that which is legal ≠ that which is ethical. Many unethical things are legal, and sometimes ethical things are illegal, even. From what I can make of it so far it appears to be legal, but not ethical.
I'm not trusting a knife made by a company that would post such crazy nonsense. Then throw in that it is a rip off? No, nope, and no.https://www.instagram.com/p/BodR2znF2_I/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=18rjcvbusw6dr
Rikes newest reply on the topic.
Is he just making this up?
Rumor ends as a wiser
First of all, my inspiration came from one of my favorite movie star Stallone’s “Escape plan 1” in 2013. Stallone acts as an expert to escape from the strongest cell successfully. So, the Cicada came up to my mind. Cicada is the number one escape expert in animal planets. It is also one of the significant symbol of the Chinese Thirty-six strategies in the art of war. This ideas came up and inspired me to design Cicada. My drawing was done in 2016 as shown in picture. (I won’t post the design before I get the patent or the work show in market, the same way as all of the designers). Then the commercial ads of “Escape plan 2” comes up a year before the movie in theater in China.com as shown in pictures. The post inspired me more to develop my original design based on the machinery Cicada as shown in pictures. It is not only a knife, it is a live Cicada. The wings opened by the inside gear as a Drone. And you can see the head is hidden inside the belly of Cicada, and the infrared ray comes from the eyes as shown in pictures. There are couple more even complicated and fancy versions of Machinery Cicada will be shown when is the time.
It is not a surprise when people comes up with the same ideas, but sb else’s design is totally not even on the same level as mine. Personally, I hate people copy and stealing ideas from other designers. I always insist on OEM/ODM works and high-end quality knives.
Hopefully, those will help to clear up all the misunderstandings. There is no need to start a war in network. Especially, sb as a network or radio messenger or some kind of network anchor, YOU need to say something more in justice and objectively instead of “Pride and Prejudice” or even create a war.
All in all, thanks all our fans and your support! Rumors should end up as a wiser!
P.S. there are more designs coming up for our fans. Thank you all!
Even if there is a language barrier issue, it's still blithering idiocy. I try not to give idiot thieves my money or trust my fingers to them. This seems like an obvious choice.For those that don't want to click
Sounds like total BS to me. A long convoluted story about some Stallone movie and cicadas![]()
I’m more concerned he lists Escape Plan as a favorite movie.For those that don't want to click

Its not even the language barrier, I know exactly what hes trying to say. This whole ordeal could be easily sorted out by providing some sort of evidence that the design predates Lundquist's or at least proves it wasn't stolen. But instead we get a wall of text about cicadas and B movies...Even if there is a language barrier issue, it's still blithering idiocy.
