Microtech Ripping Off Mikov Design

Post by Knife Crazied »

This is disgusting! :twisted: Microtech is ripping off Mikov design. What a shame. A well known company stealing designs. I guess another day in Knife World

During the Civil War, the Confederacy made clones of Colts. These were [generally] lower quaulity but due to scarcity [today] are often worth more :wink:
If, these are a "flop", ten years from now, they may be worth more than you paid :lol:

Mr. JerrBeer,

Now, if Chin Lee was cranking out cheap Mikov knockoffs, people would be banging on his door to buy them. Maybe it's time for some Yankee payback?

Best regards,
