why are you so adamant about spreading false information? ohh because its not made from America? lol, this is the best quality original designs you can find even when compared to American goods. read all the reviews, every one is very very good if not amazing. not a negative review yet and all ORIGINAL designs, including some American designers, using American made steel.
liner locks are not in style right now.
clones and replicas are knives that look like another, like what ganzo does to benchmade or that crap you see on aliexpress that has logos of other knives on them.
If it "seems like a clone" for those reasons, can't you say the same thing about virtually all production knives these days?
Although I hate IP theft and outright copying, I don't take a hard stance against knives that use design features that are almost defining of what a knife is. If you take too broad of an approach then all knives become "clones" of the first cutting tool used by the human hand. The Japanese style blade isn't a patented feature (e.g. Axis Lock) and it's style can't really be attributed to a single inventor (Reeve Integral Lock). As such, I consider the style to be fair game to any current knife designer.
That being said, I've owned a WE 601 since the were first released and I can vouch that it's a really well made knife. When I first started buying WEs they were about 30% cheaper than you see them now, so they aren't quite as good a bargain as they used to be.
