Talk about a knife, something you don't know

I >think< what is being said is:
- Relate is producing a gravity knife
- that was designed by a guy in China
- who denigrates Microtech in his marketing
- by falsely saying Microtech does shoddy workmanship and that Chinese copies of Microtech knives are cheaper but just as good
- and compares this design to Microtech otf knives despite the fact that it is a gravity knife not an automatic, and the mechanics if each design are very different
- so some members of the Chinese knife community feel that this is false and dishonorable marketing
- so OP wants us to be aware of this when considering purchase of these knives from Relate

Yes, sir. Thank you for understanding my post
 
I was told that back on the olden days, TV commercials avoided denigrating other products by name because it would be rude to do so. For example, a laundry soap commercial would say, "It cleans a better than those OTHER brands!" And then show a soap bottle with a label that said "Other Brand." 😁

Mad Science Forge machetes stick 47% better when duct-taped to your back under your T-shirt than those OTHER titanium machetes stick!
 
So Microtech is our friend, and Chinese-designer is the enemy of our friend, and Reate is the friend of the enemy, that makes Reate our enemy

But, Reate has also been transparent and honorable, that makes Reate our friend.

But, ...

No, my friends, I don't want you to boycott Reate. Reate and the designer are only related to commercial interests. Maybe Reate hasn't investigated the sales and user feedback of this knife in the Chinese market, so I want to tell you something you don't know about this knife.
As you can see, the design of this knife comes from the "Paratrooper Gravity Knife" many years ago. This is not the original creation of the designer. He just modified the structure. At the same time, this knife is not an automatic knife, but the designer compared his design with the automatic knife(Microtech OTF) to show that his knife is better.
 
Wow that designer is an ass. He complains that Microtech fakes have high failure rates, and then says Microtechs are bad because the fakes are bad. Also, complaining that you can't open Microtechs in a reverse grip is just making up an issue to complain about.

That's too bad, I like the design of the Exo, and I was strongly considering making it my first Reate purchase if thy made it to the U.S. (although I'm not sure that'll happen because of gravity knife import laws)

No, it's a joke, I'm not boycotting anyone.

I've been around long enough to see a couple of dramas like this crop up here and there. Reate did get themself in some trouble in the past but all was settled peacefully and honorably. Not something that could be said for all the dramas in the knife community. Everyone make mistakes, so does Reate, but they have gained a good reputation in the community that they could fix their mistakes well.
 
If the blade was on the outside and the frame on the inside, would that make it an Endo?
