When a product achieves the reputation for form and function that the Simonich Gunner Grip has, it is expected that at some point someone will try to make a cheap knockoff clone. From the beginning Rob knew this day might come. Yesterday I was informed by a Simonich Knives fan that this has indeed finally happened.
I have placed links in this post to all the information that I was given to the product and to the manufacturer. It is being produced in Japan by a company called and appears to be a cheap injection molded plastic POS.
I spoke with Christine this morning. While there is nothing we can legally do about the company producing them in Japan, she has decided to use every resource at her disposal to protect the intellectual property rights of Simonich Knives here in the US and in all Countries that recognize US patents, trademarks and copyrights.
With that said, I am asking for a favor from all of you. I can not be everywhere. If you see or here about these products being sold or advertised in any business or on any website please forward that information on to me so that I may pass it on to the proper legal channels. Feel free as well to let the business owner know that he is dealing in items that are in violation of anothers intellectual property rights. And feel free to let said business know just how you feel about them doing such .
