To be fair Askari have been selling the same thing for ages.

are you saying that was the original design?

never heard of askari-fishing and 'dark forest' is hardly a known name?

 

[mountainm]

are you saying that was the original design?

No, it's a modified cleaver. Not exactly an original idea, who knows where it originates. However I doubt anyone would mind if a seller sold the same ones Askari do?

tell that to the BF forums, it's identical

I know. Askari have been selling it for about five years. No one seems to care about the many woodlore clones?

 

[Corso]

will have to take your word on that

I'm not excusing mr nobles previous behaviour but I doubt anyone would care if he'd seen the hatchet on the askari site and simply sourced the same supplier.

The witch hunt may well be justified, however I still think we should try not to be like witch finders when evaluating the evidence.

 

[Corso]

too much evidence out there to even start down that road

So Askari are also guilty?

Smith and Weston also do something very similar

Precisely why he chose the name I'm sure.
This makes baby Jesus cry.

Because thy are old as clones, a big difference, as is the askari AD a big leap from the "handmade high quality" AD of the Lakeland bushcraft centres,

And other peoples designs, and trying to pass off stuff mass made overseas as made by a UK craftsman, We all make a choice when we buy anything, its just nice to have all the information.

I think he must work on the premise that any publicity is good publicity, when he's blatantly trying make money of Lurch's business he must know he's gonna get rumbled eventually.

Probably.... but a month of trading on some one elses reputation is probably worth it.
