Schrade: LMF2 much?

I saw that one earlier today as well. Schrade has ripped off a few designs recently, most notably to me the Chris Reeve "one piece" knives. I guess if people keep buying that kind of stuff they'll keep making it. It may be totally legit, but I'm not a fan of it
 
That's more than similar in my eyes, seems like they took a lmf and tweaked it and slapped schrade on it.

I'd guess they took note of the pretty high success of the lmf2 and want to cut in on the $ its bringing in.

I'm not a big Taylor brand enthusiast anyway.
 
Schrade has never even shown up on my radar. But yeah, looks like they stole some design elements on that one.
 
Anyone who uses it will regret it. I've never seen 420J2 hold an edge and it's like trying to sharpen a stick of butter.

I bet they sell a ton, sad really.

Maybe there's a YouTube video or two.
 
Tactical butter knife. :thumbdn: And while that knife isn't worth owning IMO, not all Schrades should be judged by it. Just saying . . .

"copied a fixed blade knife" ... gosh! lets see ... there is a limited number of tip designs; Clip, Spear, Tanto, Sheepsfoot, Wharncliffe, Hawkbill (as found on a pruning/linoleum/carpet knife), "Spey" (or castrating), blunt/chisel like you'd find on a dive knife, and of course the Kukri.
There are straight or curved handles, with or without a guard.

I'd LOVE to see an original design for a practical fixed balde that no one else has done. (that should eliminate the "fantasy" blades, along with the Klingon, Romulan, Vulcan, and other not of this rock edged weapons and cutting tools.)
 
Oh my gosh, look at the ridiculous price for what you get, too. :barf: Never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather the Gerber.

Well let's just say that some folks are little more sensitive to perceived design theft than others. ;)
 
My thoughts exactly!

I have a cheap folding schrade, no idea of the steel but for $12 bucks it performs well...

That said it has the "lines" of a CRK although I couldn't say if it was an inspiration. Sch303 or something like that I think.

Doesn't get much pocket carry as it is a brick.
 
The knife in the OP has MORE in common than the tip, while I agree generally that completely new knife designs are rather rare denying the correlation between these two knives this thread is silly.

Did you even compare pictures of the two knives in question? There is much more to it than blade shape and tip design...
