It's different enough for me. Apparently there was some drama about this in the knife community in 2013. Kizer claims they have a contract with Britton for this knife and it's an authorized reproduction under their brand. Surf the web, you'll find it. If Tim Britton wants to sell his Tango on Massdrop he's welcome to offer it here, but I don't think he'll get many takers at the regular $400+ price point. This is a great price with free shipping to US. Good steel and lots of Ti. I'm in.

DataRead Jim Skelton's comment. Jim was particularly harsh with his earlier criticism of Kizer. He now has a different perspective on this specific situation.
DataI'm in on this one. I've been waiting for a good deal on this. Hey, if anything, it might make a good conversation piece just because of the surrounding controversy. Interesting that since this, US buyers have been more accepting of Chinese makers such as Reate and Rike. I own a couple of Reate and they are great knives.
