Stolen design

[The Aflac Duck]

Boker, why did you steal Rocksteads handle design on the new B&B model?

This isn't the first time either, you guys need to keep whoever makes the Magnum line on a shorter leash. I don't know how a historic brand like Boker can affiliate themselves with this garbage.

Somehow, I don't think you realize that someone from Boker moderates this subforum.

I would like to think that boker
Simply.markets existing products
Pre designed and Manufactured by its foreign counterparts.
And that boker for its part of the deal
Just entails allowing
The use of.its logo.
for marking the chosen foreign designed models
through printing, stamping or etching.
For the expressed purpose of marketing and product warranty.

Wow that's not even trying to be distinct. I might expect that kind of blatant copycat crap from a low grade Chinese brand or some AliX trash seller, but not a respected brand like Boker, even from their budget line. Better reign it in, B...

Do knife makers ever get design patents? just curious if they bother. or if its common practice not to

A similar situation was brought up a year or two ago concerning copying a Becker design. I will attach it below. It sounds like Boker USA has nothing to do with the Magnum line, and actually doesn't import parts of the line for these reasons. That being said I don't own any Bokers, and don't know what may or may not have changed since this thread.

Bladeforums should have an entire subforum dedicated to copied designs.
