TrueUtility ArcKnife, Poliwog-much?

[Creepo]

Ok guys, another Poliwog ripoff, this time coming from a "reputable" manufacturer...
Their other models remotely reminded me of other known models but this really stood out:

It has the Poliwog shape, some kind of wierd BBL/Axis lock frankenstein for a lock with Strider-like jimping and opening hole...

I even got one of their TelePens some time ago.
I used to like their stuff but I'm not so sure anymore...

That really sucks ... they've obviously done something to distinguish it from the usual Chinese Poliwog fakes but what they have done probably just tramples on even more trademarks or patents :(

Actually, it looks like they are copying Spyderco AND Strider, from the look of the thumb ridges and the opening hole.

Oh, but it's not a BALL lock, it's a weird bar thingy. It's all about loopholes.

i looked on their website and it looks like they make gerber multitool rip offs too, correct me if i am wrong.
