I would buy a fake one. What makes me mad is when the seller obviously advertises it as a genuine sebenza, strider, etc. That is ridiculous and stupid. I would be fine buying one as long as they said out front this is fake or they didnt put the brand name they were mimicing on it.
I never feel guilty... It's my money and I do whatever I want with it. I'm not saying sorry if I bought a 20$ Hinderer design knockoff. I'm just feeling sorry for those who spend 800$ on a knife that costs 350$, and even that might be slightly overpriced

The fakes I've seen, while much lower in price than the real deal are still expensive. Not the clones like the Sanrenmu you can get for a few bucks. The Strider PT fake I got was $50-60 dollars. Not $300 like the real one, but you can get plenty of real knives for $50-60.
If you must have a Strider design and don't mind supporting that industry, I won't judge. I'd prefer they just call it a Stryker or something instead.

I was thinking about get one of those McStriders to fuck with.
My Moms view on this subject: "I used to buy fake stuff all the time, until I realized that a lot of the counterfeiting could be funding illegal organizations around the world. You never know."
I dont like giving money to the Chinese government if I can help it because of their human rights record and thery rip everything off from everybody, because they can pay the workers peanuts in bad conditions. But you can't avoid buying stuff from them because every country in the world sells their own workers down the river to improve profits for stock holders. There is no honour in business and when the revolution comes the bourgeois running dogs will be first against the wall.
Umm, ok, overreaction. No, I wouldn't knowingly buy a counterfeit that pretended to be something it wasn't. But I dont judge people who do. To thine own self be true.
Edfit. Didn't mean to sound pompous. Do what you like. Fuck you Willy, just because. That about covers it.

I would share my bed with you AJ. For your big fat brain!

I voted maybe I am a brand whore, and like quality...but some things dont have to be that nice really, or the quality between knockoff and original arent that much different.
I can not justify spending 2x+ on the "original" when I'll be just as happy with a knockoff
multitools, bags, knives...yes, stay with the original small stuff - I dont care
