Throughout the blue printing we have always maintained a position that the knife would be marked in an inconspicuous manner denoting its true provenance. In my humble opinion we are not counterfeiting but rather allowing others to expand their knowledge and vision through a knife that otherwise would remain a ghost.
I totally agree. In my collection of Schrade wire jacks there is a prototype that I’ll never acquire. It would be fairly easy to replicate. I’d do it so that I could handle it and take photos to show others that it existed. It would have to be marked so that it would never be confused with the real thing. There are plenty of replica Cobra cars around and no one thinks they are the real thing.

If they presented as a replica, I don't think anyone should have a problem with that. Maybe Rolex, Cartier or Patek Philippe would beg to differ. But that's a different discussion.
