I looked at the TUKK and don't see what the fuss is about. They only look about as alike as two different brands of frame lock folders. Same materials, different shape. This design honestly looks like an improvement to me.
I don’t think I’m going around and harping on every comment about how this seems like a reactionary move, and I certainly don’t feel comfortable policing the huge broad knife community. I even said that I don’t think Massdrop did something illegal here... so please reconsider trying to grill me, because I said my opinion and concerns once or twice in one thread without trying to be really aggressive about it.
I’m also not a grizzled veteran or knife nut to know every instance of one larger company appropriating money making ideas from small start-ups. I have learned a little, and do know that Benchmade had a patent and over 25 years to make money off their axis lock design and become a larger established company... and now that their patent has “timed out,” Benchmade still had some sort of license deal with Spyderco to put a round opening hole into their Griptillian. Other companies like Spyderco also license and credit the designers too, like the Emerson Wave feature and I think they even state it is a Walker Liner Lock in their knives that use it. Is it silly to cal something a Boyd Detent in marketing materials? Maybe, but I can’t fault their commitment.
Anyway, I’m getting back to my holiday weekend, and shopping for a larger complimentary knife. Truth be told, I looked up the Perpetua after you said it, and kind of regret missing out on that knife despite it looking a little plain. I hope you have a fun weekend too, and wouldn’t mind me leaning on your knife experience sometime in the future for suggestions.
I'm gonna just go out on a limb and say this:
"It's made in China" is not a good argument for why you think something is of lower quality.
Like...everything is made in China. Almost all of your electronics are made in China. And the good shit, too. Nintendo Switches, GPUs, smartphones, etc. It's an absurd argument that was out of date, like, 15 years ago.
Get over it. China can make good shit.
And just because it's Made in the USA doesn't mean it's actually good shit nor does it necessarily mean it's actually going to a worthy cause.
I completely agree with you, Sir!
Man, I have truly enjoyed the civility amongst everyone in here regarding this back and forth debate for what amounts to be "box cutters"! I think we've all been in some news group discussion before that started out sane and civil on say, the subject of weedeaters or vitamins, etc. and before you know it, it has turned into a full blown character assault on the individual, their mother, sister you name it.
Thanks, rivy!
bambam67Haha! No worries.... I'm seriously too lazy to stalk anyone.... I'd rather call and ask them where they are or just request updates... Lol!

@Tactical_Keychains we hear your frustration, but why not let your product speak for itself? or keep innovating? if your product is good and needed, then you were bound to face stiff competition sooner or later. whether you want to categorize it as moral or immoral, it doesn't change the legality of this competition or the reality of what you need to do to thrive in the marketplace.
First. my comment history isn't viewable so that makes you a complete LIAR. second. one can search for my profile name and see just how many products ive posted on...so that make you a lazy MORON, end of story lazy lying attention monger...yup thats about it. .oh yeah and a complete douchebag. enjoy your sad little game, you lost. .."YAWN"
bambam67If you really want to know I didn't go through your history because like you said you have locked that. Good shill move. I was just strolling through the rest of the comments on this product and was like "this guy is trolling every single discussion". Then I looked through your upvote tally on the comments which was around 30 at that time and determined that your account is relatively new. This sort of spread on one product though was ambitious or just a desperate for attention pleb. But it seems you are just fueling fires from your other comments just like this one. Trying to spark conflict. Then you started getting emotional and your sentences started to break down into gibberish... So, desperate pleb it is? Probably not even getting paid. So, why are you trolling everyone under this product man? Better sentences though in this last comment, please keep that up. I could half understand your troll roll.
Hey it's not a game, it's just a conversation while I watch my Grey's Anatomy. :)
Wow, even using the same brand of blades as TUKK to have the 'U.S.A.' peeping through - except the product isn't even US made.
This is the world now though; IPs and patents are archaic systems that only exist to preserve monopolies through expensive lawyers. I'm not really against "shanzhai", but it does still come across as a little shameless when a large company does it to a small one.
Personally I don't care for Copper or Brass shells nor those body screws being thread right into the Copper and Brass. And the button seems half-baked in comparison to the TUKK, being just a smooth torx screw head.
You jumped into revive a conversation that's been dead for 2 days, not even to add a decent retort, but simply to sling accusations. Was that your logic or emotions?
guvnoroooo 2 days...on a forum that has entries from 2 years ago...my bad..2 days..and yet you JUMPED right in to reply...hmm is that your attention span or do you monitor it to boost your ego? ..
you must be joking, $40 for a chinese made. I couldn't care if it was "designed" in the US. If this was made in the US, then ok for the px, otherwise, I call bs
any Experience on brass vs copper patina differences? I read on some Watch forums that bronze patinas faster and has that cool green tint, but it can leave residue on your hands, etc.
EvshrugNo, and I was kidding about the sweaty hands. Haven't had that issue since my fifth-grade field trip where I scored a seat next to Barbbi Gubiotti on the Gold Mine ride at Knott's Berry Farm--what a babe!
Wow, all these TUKK comments give me that nostalgic feeling like I'm back in the mechanical keyboard community whenever a new artisan shows up. Always someone out there who thinks they own a concept that isn't even new or original to begin with!
Great example, though both of those knives have obvious similarities in styling and build with traditional slipjoints like the Sodbuster. I think they're different enough in execution and similar enough to existing generic patterns that their coexistence is only natural.
Copper, the unsung hero of our modern age. It's amazing we have been using and manipulating this material for thousands of years and we are still finding new and amazing properties and uses for this metal. The anti viral properties discovered recently blew me away.
Most of the small arms on the ships I was stationed on were old hand me downs from the marines and army. A lot of worn out junk to be honest. We didn't have a huge need for that type of armament. VBSS boarding parties, pier and ship security force when in port. Our small arms were old and crap but our missile systems and gun mounts were wicked awesome. And our sonar was crazy lethal.
