If it comes down to it, I'll boycott them as well.

Why don't you ask him if he has seen this, and why the Taylor knife is using so much of another designer's intellectual property?
Their conduct and theft of intellectual property is reprehensible, even if it is not technically illegal.
Frankly, the fact that the CRK Pacific is made in the USA and the Taylor is from Taiwan is a pretty big clue to me.
Count me in on the boycott, and let's get that word out to every military website out there. Maybe a hit to the wallet will change their minds.
