I had a Sanrenmu that was a clear rip-off of a Sebenza. For a $12 jarbenza, it was shockingly good. Like, I wouldn't have bought it if it cost more, but it was solid. I had a friend who needed a pocket knife and only had an absolute garbage knife, and gave him that. He loved it and took it on multiple deployments.
I'm not trying to say that it is okay for Sanrenmu to rip off actual quality designs, but there is a part of me that always feels like at least they make quality cheap rip-offs.
But I had to check the price they are charging for this specific knife, and it is not a cheap knife. I make a bit of an excuse in my own mind for companies selling sub-$20 knives, because in my mind they aren't competing with high end makers for customers. But once you get into the price range of that particular rip-off, that is a different beast.
