Taylor cutlery are further dragging the Schrade name through the mud by offering a variety of Spydie and Byrd clones. Browse through for Raven, Cara Cara, M'lark and other ripoffs.:mad:

Those holes aren't circles, but it is pretty clear from whom they swiped their designs.

One more reason to stay away from Yourcornerstore.

This is complete bullshit. USA Schrade was such a distinguished company. The Taylor company has sunk to a new low.

I started my collecting with USA Schrades. Taylor may use the name, but he will never make a real Schrade IMO.

I hear you. Back when I started collecting knives I bought and used Schrade. I still have 5 or so Uncle Henry's and Schrades made in the US. I fine piece of cutlery from a great institution.

It was a sad day to see them close their doors.

+1 on that sentiment. That's why USA made real Schrades are commanding more $ on the secondary market and the "new" Schrades will soon be appearing at a gas station near you.

This knife looks like a rip-off of that Boker Buddy/:spyder: colab. :

So if you are in the coppying business does this knife represent a real accomplishment? It's like a double rip-off.
