Knock that off!!!

The Chinese have been stealing Patents and designs for years!!

One of my sons is a Knife and Sword design artist (LOTR, Buffy, Indiana Jones and others) and has had to put up with his designs being ripped off for years. Lawsuits have no impact on Chinese thieves who do not recognize artistic or intellectual ownership.

You should see how bad this has affected the artists of the jewelry world.

I believe the old saying is "If nobody bought them, they wouldn't be on sale very long" :gaah:

About your son I mean, and knives. Not the out right theft of his intellectual or other personal and private property, by design. Sucks, to be thieves... Worse their victim.

I have been a hunting knife and axe collector for many years. Love to see some of his handy work. If you'd care to, please send me some info, pics or what have you, a website too... To [email protected]
I happen to love them Gil Hibben http://www.hibbenknives.com movie replica blades, like the Rambo 3 large bowie, or the Terminator 2 boot dagger. My favorites blades are the Puma knives though. http://www.pumaknives.de/index_en.php Like my original White Hunter and of course the hand forged axes from the furnaces of http://www.gransforsbruk.com really do please me while I "chop a little wood for the fire, stir it around, when it dies down, oh yeah..." 'FZ'

I have been an avid bowhunter and archer since my early teens and soon learned the utmost important tool in the dark tall Forest was a good reliable sturdy sharp knife.

People often ask me, while visiting, "Why do you have so many knives?"
"I don't know, but don't touch them! I keep them all, razor strop, shaving sharp.
Plus I don't like to Flitz your fingerprints off the cold steel...or Either, polishing them with my expensive jewelers Rouge Cloth. Look but don't cut yourself. ;-)

Steel, is such a very cool element. How they smelt and pour it, then cut and pound the life into it.
I have plenty of respect for those who work their magic with the heavy metal.
No Iron Maiden pease?

Chas:

Since you are an enthusiast you may have heard of Kit Rae. His web site is www.kitrae.net. That will take you to his site that splits into his design studio and his Knife and Sword site. Kit worked with Hibben many year's ago and actually did some Hibben knives before he got well known enough to use his own name. Both the Rambo and Terminator are Kit's designs.

His site lists the numerous movies and television shows his stuff has been used in.

Kit's Swords of the Ancients series is well known world wide.

Kit is also a fellow Canadian since he was born when we lived in Burlington, Ontario.

Visit his site and enjoy his stuff.

My Gosh, what a small planet we reside upon

Yes of course I have admired his fine blade designs and awesome knife builds for many years.
Eh I would have never thought, we would be sitting here discussing this topic? ;-)

That's very pleasing to me, thanks for sharing your connection and interest in this topic.

I could rattle on for many paragraphs here, but will have to save those thoughts for another thread or different forum even. There are several awesome knife forums that are quite active with many enthusiastic members and collectors.
I will be in touch with you. Thanks for the link. Mucho Gracias!!

Very interesting read, thanks again...

Again, what a small world.

until our government really takes a stand against china & it's cheap knock off's that flood this country then it will
keep happening. I had a center cap i made (ny designed & produced) & displayed at SEMA & about 6 or 8 months
later 2 different companies had them made in a much cheaper quality. This is what china does yet americans buy
them & don't care about anything but price.

If the gay or muslim groups made them I bet the US government would defend them against China....just sayin'.....
