I was very disappointed today to learn that Grindworx.com, which sells a lot of cheaper knives including many brands known to produce clones like Lightning and Titan, is actually just a website being run out of BladeHQ. It bothers me that they'd be willing to sell brands to unknowing consumers that they would not be seen to carry on their BladeHQ site. And it's not a question of budget, they carry lots of similarly priced items on BladeHQ from more reputable brands. I've been a long-time customer of BladeHQ, having gotten many if my first decent knives from them. This is a bummer and I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I'm sure they won't miss me, but I felt like folks should be aware, so at least they make an informed decision about who they support and how they feel about clones in the knife community.
