Sarge Knives?

Came across a Spartan knock off… It’s basically garbage.

I wouldn't let that way too heavily. You can't know what you don't know.

Roll back up to Sal Glessers post and you can see how many of these new knife companies are born. As they have been doing for years factory reps bring samples to different companies or investors, roll out their wares, then cut deals for what a purchaser would want. For years, I have been able to buy tools that were similar down to the only difference being the color of the plastic being used and the housing and the brand badge on it.

I smoked a fair amount of cigars but I'm very involved in the community. When there is a manufacturer's get together at least half the time someone comes from the factory and tells you if you will buy 10,000 cigars you can get anything you want and band it as you please. No big deal. Take the bands off the cigars and put them in a generic box and it can be quite difficult to tell one cigar from another in some cases. But they are there to make money and they will show you anything you want.

Maybe Sarge bought their knives the way Sal described at one point, just a roll of nondescript knives in a good price so they can make a few bucks. No reason to believe the owners of Sarge are interested in any way about cutlery.

Whoever the factory is that's doing that that doesn't make it right. And I hope Sarge isn't behind a conscious effort to counterfeit or copy someone else's hard work. If they are, shame on ground and I hope them nothing but the worst.

All that being said, if you can keep up with every knife that is made and connect its lineage to anything else specific in the market my hat is off to you. There must be a hundred new knives from prominent manufacturers a month being released and I can't even keep up with that, much less whose design resembles or is stolen from someone else.

You are 100% correct. Im a releatively new member of the knife community and when I first started doing my research, it was as if there was a new company everyday that would pop up out of no where and of course theres going to be some that copy or borrow from another companies design. Especially those companies that dont actually care about cutlery but just want to make money as fast as possible and as easy as possible above everything else.

I actually have 3 sarge knives (2 unique design and the air ranger clone) and these knives have a lot of great attributes and 1 of them I like so much that its actually apart of my main rotation so I really hope they arent just copying others as a shortcut to make money. I also noticed the majority of their business is corporate advertising (my air ranger clone has 'Uline' printed on it) but it seems they are trying to branch out and become an actual player in the game and not just making knives for advertising. They created a line of knives with higher quality steels & materials in the $75 range and its aimed as an actual tool not just 'we have many knives for you to advertise your company on' So well see what happens with them.
