Wow. They're getting good at this.

I hate to even say it, but if they were intelligent they could be selling tons of these. Thankfully they aren't smart enough to mark them with the correct steel.

...Quite enjoyable and satifsying to have the number of knives decrease but the sharpness of the edges increase. The eternal quest for least resistance;)

Enjoy your edges folks:)

It is certainly discouraging.

My apologies, Sal. I made that comment in jest.

I suppose that it's almost impossible to stop these imitators if you don't have active support from Chinese officials, yes?

We have attorny's working all of the time to try to raid the factories. Government helps.

It's a culture and a value system we're fighting. While real property is highly cherished, intellectual property is not thought of as property. "It is a wise man that copies a successful name/product, thereby becoming succecssful also".

It's still discouraging.

And it isn't just in the Far East. I suspect that a disturbing large percentage of Westerners today, especially those under 30, don't see downloading pirated software, movies, and music as criminal acts.

Well, that may be because they aren't criminal acts. They're torts. :)
