What clone is this?

I saw this in one of the supermarket, apparently another China copy of a branded design .. but wondering which design they stole?

I don't think that design is stolen. Just another POS Jaguar:barf: .

It DOES look kind of familiar but I don't recognize it. Look through the CRKT stuff. I think that's where I remember seeing that handle shape. A CRKT/Crawford design maybe?Let us know if you find it. It's an interesting post even if it is on an awful subject.

That is a copy of the United Cutlery 'Colt Python'. Although the Colt Python is not available with a serrated blade.

Thanks for replies ..... the one at the shop was plain blade. Just went and checked, yes Jay is right, it is copy of Colt Python.

Hi all, caught up with good mate David Brodziac last weekend at the Aussie guild show. Glad to say we both did really well. David told me about the Chinese nockoffs of his Art knives, really badly ground blades, plastic grips and printed adhesive stickers in place of the hand painted artwork. David also said they were mix and matching the artwork from different knives. Dave didn't know if he should be pissed off or flattered.
