So he scrubbed the logo in the pictures.
Interesting. At least he's not selling them as genuine.

They're different pics

He's very open about the fact that everything he sells are counterfeits, or clones as he calls them.

I think the only way I would be interested in buying one of these "clones" is if it was a knife that Bill had personally ground off the "Leverletto" etching.

Bet they would sell pretty well if they were made in Italy.

DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GET SOO MUCH CREDIT FOR SOMETHING SOOOO SIMPLE YOU DID , ALL YOU DID WAS MAKE A TOP BOLSTER IN SHAPE OF STILETTO BOLSTER AND PUT IT ON A CLASSIC LEVER-LOCK KNIFE AND CALLED IT A LEVERLETTO . THE ONLY REASON YOU WOULD BE BITCHING IS IF YOU MAKE PROFIT ON akc SELLING THEM AND GIVING YOU SOME OF THE PROFIT . ANYWAYS THE CHINESE ARE MAKING THEM IN 7" AND 9" AND THEY ARE BETTER QUALITY THAN ITALIAN MADE ONES, BETTER BLADE MATERIAL BETTER HANDLE MATERIAL ETC... AND 1/3 OF THE PRICE AS ITALIAN ONES . I SELL THE CHINESE ONES AND CANNOT KEEP THEM IN STOCK UNLIKE THE ITALIAN MADE ONES THAT SIT FOR MONTHS BEFORE SOMEONE BUYS ONE .

No need to shout dude, we can all here you,

If you're happy supporting companies that steal the IP of others, fine, just don't shout about it.

They sell so we'll because they are cheap, doesn't make them a bad knife. I have a couple of the cheap ones and although they are nice for 20 bux I don't think they are anything close in quality as the original. Just my opinion.
