I'm not hating on you but giving money to known counterfeiters only hurts the people who are willing to pay for the real thing. It's a huge problem for spydercos. The fakes are so good they sell for the same price as normal. Again not hating because $600 is a lot for a knife so I can't blame you for not wanting to pay that much. I'll be curious to see how those hold up and what kind of steel they actually use.
Ill admit a small amount of guilt was attached to my purchase and I hate the thought of someone getting ripped off by counterfeits...happened to me once with a Samsung galaxy phone and I was PISSED. But in my books the bad karma goes to the ones trying to deceive others with this item, and that's not my intentions at all (not saying you accused, I know we are on the same page for the most part). I loved the style of the knives and in no way was a potential customer for an authentic microtech, so enter the clones.
I'm excited to get them and will do my best to review after they have had some torture.
