    My wife gave me this.

    Poor girl, she really thought she was giving me something cool. Found at a flea market/reseller type place. My son was fooled as well.

    At least, she wants to offer you a spyderco and no a Bench...

    Every bit. I was just shocked at the blatant use of the logo. They misspelled "taiwan" as "tanwai", probably lied about the steel, but I'll be damned if they don't have the spydie logo perfect.
    The liner lock is about as strong as a tin can, and the pivot action made me cringe. It's so sad that someone will look at a knife like that, see our coveted logo and associate that POS with Spyderco, never knowing the truth.

    How did you tell her it was great and thank her for it? Also, that it might not be the genuine article. Really, what did you say?

    Knives I love: Sage 4, Chaparral (CF), Bradley Folder, Dragonfly2, Manbug(s). These guys are the result of deciding to get one good knife.

    TOP: Bradley Folder
    or (depending on picture)
    TOP: Sage4: Now with black G-10 scales, stonewashed blade and bolsters
    MIDDLE: Chaparral (CF)
    BOTTOM: Manbug (G-10): Now has black G-10 scales, ZDP-189 blade ground to a Jester-like spine, stonewashed blade and bolsters
    Fenix LD01 (single AAA flashlight) clips to Manbug FOB

    i noticed a knock off with similar hybrid type configuration on flea bay the other day.
    you gotta give it to 'em, they pick up on all the cool stuff and fit it on the knife.

    i actually would like to have one in hand so i could see what they are putting together.

    This reminds me of that BM Pika I recevied a couple years ago from someone who knew I have a sweet spot for knives with a round hole in the blade...

    It's the thought that counts, too bad she didn't think about a Chinook 2.
