Different plier head mold though. And different handle stamping dies. And different blades. And different slide lock releases.



OK one thing is clear than , I am a complete fool  :D :D :D :D :D :D :( :P
Finally something we can all agree on :shrug:                                                                                          :D

You do know he's just going to take that as an added compliment
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

Bob you do a disservice to the FFFUFFEOF company , their minimum production standards would not allow simple gold paint  :twak: :twak:.
I think they would use some kind of toxic gold colored plaiting that fads too poo brown in 6months  ;) :D :P :D :D :D

While everyone is seeing this as eBay-only, I'm kind of wondering how many of these will end up wandering around all over Asia, Africa, Russia, and South America.  Counterfeit trade in parts of those areas is...erm...brisk, so this might actually sell well.  Also, considering the kind of blatant counterfeit items I've seen in "Chinese Crap Stores" and flea markets here in the States, I'm not entirely sure that some unmarked examples of this tool won't end up plonking down on our shores as well.

Maybe on Airsoft sites :P

eBay shields the Chinese sellers from legal action via trademark/patent infringement; much easier to penalize someone selling this merchandise from the US.

Yeah I can see that. But can't they still take legal action to have their auctions brought down or accounts terminated?  maybe some action against ebay if they will not shut down their auctions?

I'm sure they can shut down this specific account; but it's easy enough to establish a new account to replace the one that's been terminated. It's precisely why you see so many fakes being peddled on eBay - there's no REAL recourse against the sellers of fake merchandise.

Gerber can have these listings removed, simply by asking ebay to remove them.

Whitby and Co (UK importers of Leatherman, Maglite, Buck etc) actually have a person / team that trawl the internet looking for things like this so they can close them down. I'd have thought that Gerber would too.

Has anyone told Gerber about these fakes?

I took them over to Gerber in person and spoke with one of their people.  They were already aware of these people and looking into legal action.  For some reason, I don't think it is as easy as just asking ebay to shut them down because I'm sure they already did and the ads are still up...and still going up.

I also contacted Harley Davidson to have them look into those Harley Davidson multitools the same seller is peddling.  Also contacted the owners of the real webpage, whose screenshot the fake sellers stole and doctored to show the counterfeits and they told me they were not pleased and would contact ebay.

Yet the ads still go up?

Precisely the point Ive been trying to make. Ebay gives these rogue sellers a safe haven to do business.

You can shut down 1 seller account, then another 1 will pop up in its place.

IMO, the only to root out the problem is to address it from the supply chain side.

But its not even a different seller.  Its the same Hugewish guy that still has his account active and still puts up more ads.  Its almost like no action at all has been taken against him

It's been THIS hard to shut this guy down, despite the complaints.

How hard is it going to be for him, or another seller in China, to offer up the same merchandise from a different account?

There is no accountability for selling fakes on eBay, that's why these sellers exploit it.

perhaps the Ebay.uk fellas actually do their jobs  :multi:

im a bit of a clotheshorse, and i can tell you there are sheer oceans of counterfeit designer goods floating on eBay auctions at anytime - so obvious too

it's why i prefer to buy stuff off Styleforum.net - the admin & membership there does a great job of flushing out fakes.
