Don't know exactly who's behind it but thought you would like to know. Crazy thing is it's more expensive than yours.

Thanks for posting that. On a positive note, they are not illegally selling a direct knock-off with our logos and such. Since there's no patents or trademarks involved, there's not a lot that can be done. On a negative note, neither David White or I get credit (or a royalty for ETS). Seems a wee bit at odds with all their hyperbolic marketing drivel regarding justice and all. Oh, well; imitation is the sincerest form of flattery?

Here's the sadder part. It looks like they also stock your knife, and at a better price...

It looks like "Combat Ready Knives" pretty much makes nothing but knock-offs.

This was an excellent thread to see.

I just saw the Combat Ready knife a couple days ago for the first time, recognized the Ritter design, & wanted to make sure ETS was aware of this.

I can't believe how closely it was copied. Which makes this reply that much more refreshing.

But the CRKT piece is much nicer, especially in the details -- & at a lower price.

Hope everyone is doing well!
