Counterfeit knives suck

I know some folks have differing opinions but i share the opinion of most long time knife collectors I've run across here in America. Counterfeit knives have no place in the hobby regardless of how good they are. In fact a well made counterfeit is even more problematic. I'm not talking about other knife companies making similar knives. I talking about knives that disreputable knife companies brand with the intellectual property of another company and knives individuals alter to pass off as name brands.
