WTF eBay!

[SpydercoLover]

They are selling FAKE benchmade 40tr's on ebay..........this needs reporting. I know on those cheap wholesale sites nothing can be done about those but since its ebay and they have more rules im going to look into getting them taken off.

What a scam. They are actually trying to pass them off as real 40tr's and 40t's

I saw a "51 morpho" on ebay once that boasted a 3.25 inch blade

[SpydercoLover]

I found another one that is claiming to be actual "benchmade trainers, combs, and sharp"..............that is not a typing mistake, it actually says sharp in the description.

this guy has a bunch of them for 162$

Is it this one?


I'm really no expert on trainers... but I've never seen a fake 40TR.

[SpydercoLover]

You know... I've NEVER seen a fake 40TR out there. The 40T is commonly made as a fake. BUT the red one doesnt even have the butterfly from the pictures...

They sure do have a pretty blue box though.

Ebay is actually pretty good at removing shit like that from their site. BUT you have to make them aware of it.. ...In Ebays defense, can't expect them to check the validity of 'every' listing.

The ones that are NOT branded with the butterfly one could argue that they are not Benchmade copies, even though they look identical.

"WE" Know they are.

Furthermore they are not being represented as a Benchmade product.

The same discussion revolved around the Microtech copy of the new Zero Tolerance 777 .

JD does not endorse fake, knock-off or clone type knives. The links to those have been removed. Linking people to those knives, while it is negative advertisement, is still advertisement.

I am not scolding anyone for posting this topic, just reminding not to post links or images to copied or stolen goods.

[calvinnation]

this is the wierdest thread. every post is edited, there are no links? Whats going on here. Cutleryshoppe never sold fake 42s did they!? They are a great company to deal with.

[SpydercoLover]

okay, sorry about that. and ya Glenn.

Also there is something that never gets expressed. Benchmade does not exactly have clean hands.

They blatantly copied the Spartan CQB tool.

First to make it.

And Benchmades release

There is little to no difference other then branding.

@ Shen, these links I posted are of valid products available , not to a clone, perhaps more of copy write infringement.
