"Sayoc" is a registered trademark and only the terms "Kali" and "Eskrima" are generic descriptions that can be used. Although from the looks of it the makers have very little idea of what that is.

The Rangermade Sauer blade looks like a modified "HUNTED" tracker knife from Topps/Beck.

UPDATE:

The site has now modified the description to get around legal issues - now they are calling it a "non- Sa'yoc" blade.

The disclaimer now also includes this piece of spin:

"A concerned handful of enthusaists observing an obscure filipino based cutlery practiced may have been offended"

They figured since Sayoc was "obscure" they wouldn't have a registered trademark.

Oh yea... like any idiot is going to spend over $1000 for that particular knife anyway, when you could get a Randall or something way better for less.

Interesting!

Oh yeah, this looks like a great thrusting blade.... or not.

Hmmm,

Name variations have been in the news lately...

Mariah Carey vs Mary Carey.

Maybe the knife company could try to sell these blades...

"Not Em'erson"
"CK'T, Not"

LOL!

I saw a 60 minutes episode talking about the robust business climate in Hong Kong and how a good part of the business was name-brand ripoffs.

The interviewer was speaking to two representatives of a plant that made fake Callaway golf clubs.

Interviewer: "So, you admit that it's fake then."

Rep. #1 "Oh no, not fake. Copy."

Rep. #2 "Yes, Copy. Not fake."
