At least he admits it
Seller lists this one as a "clone" (Isn't that the same as a "fake"? ) http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLONE-Case-Test ... SwuR5XPzL5

One of the definitions of "Clone" --
2. a person or thing that duplicates, imitates, or closely resembles another in appearance, function, performance, or style:
Don't be callin' all my 72 clones, fakes.
Calling it a "clone" instead of a fake is actually a pretty clever marketing ploy. It gets the point across without denigrating the product.

Re: At least he admits it
That's pretty interesting! If all is true about how the knife came into being, then it probably would make a great EDC, but not for the price they're hoping to get. Just my 2 cents .

Re: At least he admits it
I had a 1970 442. It was painted #50 Bamboo, had a Turbo Hydro 400 transmission controlled by a Hurst Dual Gate console shifter and hooked to the pavement through a 3.42 Posi Traction rear end. Went through gas like a dose of salts through the hired girl. Had it for 2½ years and traded it off because gas got so high. 43¢ a gallon.gsmith7158 wrote: I had a 73 442 with moon roof and egg shell swivel bucket seats.

Re: At least he admits it
Yep, 455 cu in 365 hp / 370 ft lb torque (advertised) --- G70-14 tires and dead stock my best time down at the Byron Drag Strip was 14.44 sec @ 98 point something mph. The old girl would peg the needle on the speedometer down past the turn signal indicator which was an indicated top speed of approximately 130 mph.
The only picture I have of her. Taken at Box Elder Campground in the Black Hills of South Dakota in the summer of 1971 (or maybe 1970).

Never owned one, but I have always liked the convertible 442.
