I saw a few videos on these from shot show. To me this looks fishy. https://www.knifecenter.com/item/UT...s-molded-sheath-with-sharpener-and-fire-steel
you should see the tops "black star"... http://www.knifeworks.com/topsblackstarblackmicartahandles.aspx
There's a lot of similar knives in the industry. Generally, if they're not being marketed as the same name/brand, then it's pretty hard to go after them. I believe Tops was the first company to manufacture the laser strike. There's some kind of history between tops and Rat. They're a pretty above board company, so I assume they retain rights to produce the design.
To me they look very similar save for the handles. I wasn't calling for the torches and pitchforks. I just thought they looked very similar.
Mike Fuller is a good friend of ours. Tops did indeed produce the first versions of the Laser Strike years ago with the help of Rob Simonich. No worries on the Tops knife.)) Mike
