    Its not a conspiracy, its real 😅. Green thorn is done by Kevin John who OEMs for CKF and makes most of the modern CKF Knives. So they dont use "cheaply sourced carbon fiber" or "cheaply sourced Titanium" compared to shirogorov. You just made that up with no evidence.
    Not defending clones as a concept, but there were a few things I thought should be cleared up.

      To be fair (and pedantic) “cheaply sourced carbon fiber” doesn’t mean “cheap carbon fiber” it means “carbon fiber acquired for cheap.” Perhaps worth noting; perhaps not.

    These are great, honestly. The fit and finish on the m390 models are several grades above the k110/vg10 budget offerings. Say what you’d like about the clone world but Green Thorn, Vespa put out quality.

    Shiro Ultra Lite is their small model with 3.25 inch blade and very thin handle that is majorly milled out to make it really light weight

    Agree with the assessment. I still can't justify the price for a Shiro though. I did own one for a short time but moved it along. I'd rather have a Herman for that kinda money 🤷‍♂️

    clone is different than a counterfeit .
    clone = a direct copy of branded knife with no visible differences with no branding ( legal in most cases )
    counterfeit = a direct copy of a branded knife with no visible differences and full branding usually even comes with a convincing box. ( highly illegal )
    a inspired by knife will look like a branded knife but have obvious differences when set next to the branded knife. ( legal )
    As we are dead in the middle of the golden era of knives I would imagine it is pretty difficult for a new knife company or maker to make a design that isnt in part or completely taken from a knife they saw or wanted so badly as a child or some such thing that being said I find myself being much more lenient to cloning and inspired by knives , the counterfeiters can smoke a flaming turd in hell.
