If you ever find yourself in close proximity with a real shark’s tooth, good luck. Fortunately, Defcon gives us a way to carry one safely at our side every day in this 8.7-inch frame lock folder Read More
Psst, hey, Drop. You forgot to put photos of the other side of the knife. Ya know, the side with the pocket clip and the lock bar? Yeah, that side. How did nobody realize that? Instead, you got people in the comments doing it for you. I mean really, and be honest with me, but how stoned were you when creating the page for this drop? Better yet, what kind of sticky icky was it? Girl Scout Cookie? Super Skunk? Alien Crack? Alaskan Thunder Fuck??? Yeah, I bet it was that ATF. That shit is so good. Can I have some, too, please?
I'm just pointing out your hyperbolic statement that falls short. It sounds pretty ridiculous to say "every time "to then back pedal down to half.
If you want to make points that are to be taken seriously, make serious points, dont stretch points to such lengths and get pissy for the points being addressed for how lucrative you had to bend the bracket to aid your point
And all the Chinese origin blades I have do not have that badging (to clarify, a made in china or just china badging) on the blade. So whatever reasoning for companies to put that on there seems arbitrary at best
And since it sounded like you wanted it, here you are two more Chinese knives, but with china on the blade now. Pretty hard to find listings with only one side shown, made in china, AND has a china badging on the blade. Even the Ferrum forge, drop, We Knives collaboration blades do not have it from the two Ive looked at.
Most made in china blades on drop seem to not have that laser engraved on the blade, from the armchair detective work I've done thus far...which was not a whole lot of effort

Honestly this is really disappointing to see. This clone has been on the market for a couple of years now at least, first saw it at one of the shadier tables of a local gun show. The blade is an exact copy of the blade on the A2 A6 custom collaboration between @TashiBharucha and Andre Thorburn and Andre Van Heerden, right down to the swedge and jimping. As a company that has really made a name for yourselves in the Knife/EDC community through collaborations with well known custom makers, peddling a knife that steals IP from any of these makers is in really poor taste. Let alone when it's one of the makers you've actually done several collaborations with. I understand that whoever signed off on this was probably oblivious to it being a clone, but that itself indicates a laziness or lack of interest in this issue within the community. I don't know which factory is actually manufacturing the "Defcon" brand of models, but much like QSP, several of the models under these brands have been clones of the designs of popular custom makers. Hopefully this doesn't fall on deaf ears and is a mistake that can be corrected. Included is a picture of my own A2 A6 for comparison purposes.
RBnumber3Not a clone, just a boring regurgitation of a popular design formula. The blades are very similar, but if I tried to draw an aesthetically pleasing leaf-shaped blade with swedge, gently-sweeping edge, ergonomic-looking jimped thumb ramp and a gradual plunge line, it would probably resemble that of both these folders. The handle has less of the classic Tashi Barucha design language, and more of that ubiquitous Kershaw flavor.
