Similarities between Hogue & Benchmade

[LJTanzer]

The similarities between Hogue's Doug Ritter RSK® MK1-G2 blade and the Benchmade Freek are obvious, especially in the thumb ramp.
Does anyone know which folder was designed first and are there other knives with similar thumb rests..?
Thanks.

Freek was like 2016-2017? Doug Ritter's version of the Benchmade Griptillian was early 2000s. The RSK is Mr. Ritter's design brought to Hogue after BM discontinued it without warning.
