[Kentucky]

When is he going after Hitachi Steels???

 

[JTknives]

So after all this what do I call this blade I been working on? It's a 52100 core with 15n20 and then wrought iron. So being 5 layers would it be "SAN-MAI IIIII"

 

[Bruce Culberson]

If the trademark is registered in the USA but not Canada.....then does that mean us guys north of the border can still make a San Mai knife?

5 Layers would be "Go-Mai", I believe.

Or San Mai V ?

Or as Rick Marchand just said...Go Mai.


But then it should be Go Mai V!

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

We are starting to drift away from the subject.

 

[Thomas Linton]

"But then it should be Go Mai V!"

Japanese Latin?

 

[hardingknives]

[Karl B. Andersen]

Correct.

 

[hardingknives]

Drifting or not the sililyness just show how ridiculous CS claims are

 

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I am starting to feel insulted ... Cold Steel still has not sent me a letter or email

LOL! good one,
made me laugh out loud at my office desk

 

[Justin.Mercier]

Someone's even mentioned it on CS facebook page, and whoever writes for their facebook page is saying that CS has owned a trademark on san mai for 30 years and that they are not sending C&D letters

Considering that Hitachi's annual revenue is in the region 89 billion US dollars per annum....I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest "When Satan has to drive to work in a snowplough"

 

[Karl B. Andersen]

And they are just dancing all around avoiding direct answers.

This is like the Marc Maron episode where someone tries to sue all the podcasters because they claim to have invented podcasts in the '70s.

Except that was funny.

 

[J. Neilson]

I just got a cease & desist letter from Lynn at Cold Steel about this. I almost peed myself laughing so hard. I also mention smiths hammering on "cold steel" on the show... maybe that'll be the next letter. LMAO
