- The internet says they look the same. I disagree. Here's how knife design happens.

A huge thanks to @RikkiHernandez for shooting this one for me. And a huge thanks to the gents at Swiss Tech for the excellent conversation.
Hey Ben! I was one of the guys that said it looked like a Würdigg. I am sorry if I came across as an asshole. I really liked this video and you have a new subscriber. I think at the time, the Swiss Tech was all the rage, so it was hard not to point out the obvious. But you have educated me on the situation and I look forward to anything else you are involved in.
Come on now. When I first saw the Sendy I immediately thought of the Wurdig. Are they identical? No. Are they similar? Of course. Are they similar enough that you could convince someone they were the same brand and perhaps even part of the same line? Absolutely. Pretending that’s not the case is ridiculous. I’m certain it’s not intentional. It’s a coincidence which isn’t a big deal. No need to act like you’re completely baffled by people’s observations of similarities.
You didn't have to defend yourself Ben. The swisstek is junk and my girlfriend carries the Sendy every day.
I have both knives and admittedly they have similar profiles but that’s where it ends. The Wurdig is definitely a steal at the price point but it is absolutely not the same knife. There are differences in materials and blade deployment but I think the biggest difference is the intention behind each knife. I don’t know the intent behind the Wurdig because there isn’t a story behind it. What the Sendy has is purpose built design. We learned that in the Cedar video. There is a lot of inspiration and back story associated with the knife and that plays a big part in the function and the purpose of the knife. To me the Sendy feels like a modern take on an old school knife. Something to whittle wood with or cut apple slices in front of the camp fire. This is not a knife that was designed to slice open Amazon boxes. Intention is everything and I firmly believe this knife was designed out of passion and love.
The main similarity is the color of the scales. Literally everything else is very different. I see the Sendy as a more blade focused swiss army knife more than anything else.
Poor George, "turning a steer into a bull" would be quite impressive with a Sendy! ; )
I have two of the Sendys, and on Swiss Tech Würdig. Not a copy. It's not really even close.
Not the same. One is a Knaf the other is a Knife.
Oh man, original KB crew together for a moment in time...
I own a Wurdig and I love it. I really go hard on my knives because I see them as tools and find it hard to justify spending 100's on something designed to live a hard life. The Wurdig has some premium look and feel and was easy to buy. Great content as always Ben.
It’s crazy seeing a second knife of Ben’s being called out like this😅 first the lander ‘looks like’ the dozier and now this, it’s hilarious

Didn’t you run into a similar thing when people said the Knafs Lander looked a lot like… name 10 knives, idk. It’s all a matter of perspective. How deeply one looks at them. I have 2 Spydercos, a Benchmade, and a Civivi. To my fiancée they might as well all the same object. But to me they’re different permutations of a never ending design challenge: to make the perfect knife. And almost any “this or that” debate about cutting instruments is best answered by “both!”
Great video,, maybe it’s just me Ben but you could Frankenstein them both together and call it the
Just watched the video and this was totally fascinating dive into how designs come to life. Honestly, I think you should do a collab with Swiss Tech for an ultra budget model. I think that would be beneficial for all parties involved.
Lady outdoors person. I love the Sendy. It's one of my favorite EDC's. The tweezers are great.
Missed out on a sendy when it launched. So happy it's in stock (as of this.) IN cart. Boom.
Ben, you really know how to design knives. After doing research of knives im interested in collecting, they are mostly design by you. Simple, classic, and timeless designs.
Definitely not the same knife.
