Wegner LookAlike

The new Benchmade Griptilian sure looks like an Axis version of the Wegner. Take a look
here

I don't see the resemblance.

Close...

but no winner.

Doesn´t look like a copy to me (and I am not part of the Benchmade clan).

Actually, it looks a lot more like the Pro Grip/Pro Venator.

Here is a pic for comparison. Note that the knives are not to scale, but you get the idea. I personally don't really see a resemblance. I don't feel one either when I hold the knives.

Maybe if you squinted from a long way away during twilight. I don't think it's a copy.

I don't see a resemblance myself.
On a different note, I just wish the Wegner was ambidextrous like the BM Griptilian. It sure is a nice touch.

I'm going to agree with RH, It looks more like a copy of the Pro Grip or Pro Venator rather than a copy of the Wegner.

I agree, however those knives represant the same style, execution and appereance and <font size="3" color="#ff0000">surely you must see the resemblance?!?</font>

Maybe it´s just me, being blind...

People,if you're looking for a similarity then it's with the Terzuola C15

 

[Sal Glesser]

I don't see any great similarity of design other than they both have blades, black handles and holes (which are different shapes).

All folding knives will have a certain similarity to something.
