Any sword/knife collectors out there?

Case in point -

Vietnam Fighter Black Blade Knife

This Elite Forces Fighter is modeled after the knife they would've carried.

As opposed to the real knife -

SOG Bowie

Based on the SOG Bowie that helped found our company

Same reason you don't buy Glass-top boxes of Cohiba's - they're fake.

The worst example?

Special Forces Fighter Knife

Which is a blatant knock off of Mick Strider and Duane Dwyer's knife design -

Strider BT

Like I said, not trying to rain on your parade, just pointing out why they are so cheap.
