Thread: Stork titanium handle

Hello everyone.

This handle looks familiar...

I will guess they knurled over the Wolfman WRH7 handle and did some light machining. Either way very nice job!

Cheers,
James

Welcome to SRP.

Hi James, yes, there are some similarities, no doubts, however there are some significant differences. So it can't be considered as a 100% copy also because what they did is more difficult. Would you agree?

They said to me that when they seen your handle, it looks a little too empty (that's a direct translation) to them. So they desided to make another version of James handle. So here it is.

This honestly does not look like a new handle. It appears to be a Wolfman that has been put into a lathe and modified, and given a new name. I would be interested in process photos if this was made from scratch.

Creating an original design is the difficult task. Reverse engineering isn't quite the same thing, even if adding a new feature.

The WRH7 is my personal favourite and so I don't share the opinion that this is an improvement. Although it is always interesting to see another perspective.

Please encourage this person to create something new and original.

I will for sure. Nobody wants to make a living out of something that called "stolen reverse design". I am sure they won’t either. But sometimes, especially at the beginning, when you are unknown and small you need to learn from great masters and repeat what they do. EX stands for example This is what you seen already. They actually wanted to show what they can do, because your handles so far one of the best available and difficult to make.
This is some prototypes that they created so far. Some of them made out stainless steel, but not anymore. They will do titanium only and occasionally bronze.

I know they are about to come up with a few more.

I cannot judge between the two, but the resemblance reminds me of the old saying, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
