Schrader Chris Reeve knock off

[watchcollector1968]

Found one of these at Academy. It's an obvious ripoff although as I understand the real ones from CRK are no longer made. The reviews on these seem to suggest a pretty good knife. I haven't done anything with this one yet. Doubt they are as good as the real thing but we shall see.

Schrade has been known for ripping other makers off and this year they've got a ton of rip-off designs that are very similar or identical to other makers.

That being said, several of their designs are pretty cool looking (including that particular Chris Reeve knock-off) and Schrade and Gerber both seem to be taking a note from the rest of the big production knife-makers and trying to start using reliable steels and showing more of a face in the customer service world as well.

How much was that one at Academy?
