Coyotebc,
Exact style? So, his Canadian trademark and copyrights for the design are invalid?
Just expressing info as related by the maker. If you want to argue the legal ramifications of trademark violations with him, I guess you could contact him and/or his legal representative.
Good luck.
Just stating that it is a traditional style.
When Lynne Thompson first sued Stuart (I believe) for copying his patened American Tanto style knife, he found out even if the patent office grants a patent, it doesn't mean the courts will up hold it.
I am all for intelectual property but to take a traditional style knife and then complain when others make the same style is meaningless. If it is a locking mechanism or something like that then ok, but a simple blade design no.
