    Well no its not. Though it still seems a fitting term considering no one else had that shape before TDI came along and how poor our use of the English language is anyway.

    "Inspired" would be better.

    I too thought why bother with a clone ( cheap knock off images came to mind)
    live out your imagination , not your history.

    I looked at his stuff and, taking into account pricing, decided to go with a genuine TDI. Have nothing against Xavier Knox but an super happy that I decided on the TDI and love that carry knife.

    Keep an eye on Takealot... they often have the TDI for sale at an even greater discounted price.

    Just keep in mind that the original sheath sucks. I had a new sheath made by Geoff Carter and I use a J-clip so that I can tuck my shirt in. I am sure that Michael at Daniels Holsters will be able to make a sheath for you to your specs.

    I might be the odd one out here but I rather liked the sheath. I sold my TDI (and then regretted it) and now have a Retainer from Xavier. They are two different blades. I rate Xavier very highly.

    What I liked about the TDI sheath was the metal clip it had. It was great for simply sticking to pants of any nature.

    Why do you say this - how are they different?

    Grip angle and grip style is different to me.
    The TDI had the finger cut outs at the Base where the Retainer has a slightly thicker rougher grip.

    How concealable are these knives?

    The Knox blade also has a dual cutting edge. Half of the top edge is sharpened.

    They are very concealable. The blade sits downward behind the waistband and the grip parallel to the belt.
