Gents,

This is not new news, it isn't suprising....United got picked up by BUDK for crying out loud.....ripping off designs is WHAT THEY DO, and HOW THEY MAKE THEIR $$....

Doesn't make it right, and I vote with my wallet, but so do a lot of other Americans who want Kewl lookin' knives for next to no monies....that is where the crafty Clint comes into the picture......Clint Kadel, that is, who has been in the knife business from 1989 onwards and who also owns the large cutlery retail company that has its headquarters in Moultrie, Georgia. This means that United’s offices as well as warehouse facility are now going to operate from Thomasville, Georgia.

Heard the best line in Sturgis a few years ago...."Buy your Chinese crap from genuine Americans!!!"

Oh, yeah....if it bothers you so badly, drop Clint an e-mail......ckadel@budkww.com

Best Regards,

STeven Garsson

I live less than 30 minutes from both of those Companies. It is shame that people must rip off makers. The business is hard enough without the jump at any new design ripoff artists.

I hate companies like that. Period. Nothing else needs to be said.

Didn't the Hornet get picked up by a production company? Would their deeper legal pockets help, or is it simply not worth the time and money, even for a larger company?

What a crappy attempt at a rip-off.
