What is this knife?

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

From the starting bid I would say a VERY ::doh:: expensive "reproduction"

To the best of my understanding of "Copyright" and Patent laws an old collectable knife cant simply be "reproduced", even when the Classics were made there had to be characteristics which were different enough so that the Classics would or could NOT be easily confused with the original articles which they were made to imitate. I believe "reproduction" is the WRONG word describing it, and the starting price is a joke. I was shocked at this listing and started this thread to see if I had missed something, from the obvious.
