1) Bear Grylls products are not "marginal" as you put. The quality is as good as, and in many respects superior to other products on the market.
2) Bear, like many successful buisnessmen, has serious problems with third partys trying to exploit his name and image to their own advantage. That means that his legal team has to adopt a very aggressive policy towards anyone using the name "Bear" on a like product. Occasionally that means that someone who is using the term "Bear" in a lawful enterprise going to get an unwelcome letter. That's unfortunate but understandable. It is obvious that on this occasion Bear has looked at the facts, determined that Bear Knives is not engaged in misconduct and taken the appropriate action.
