Were you using a hammer? Just curious why so much pressure would be needed to assemble one.just finished my second sierra. both had issues and the tip end. the wall thickness is so thin there that the first one chipped and the second was crushed when assembling. anyone else have these problems.
Calling all the pens "sierra" causes great confusion. Our "diplomats" were made for me, then sold to me as a "sierra". Knowing they were NOT made by Berea, I renamed them--too bad the rest of the world did not do the same.
Was Berea the originator of the Sierra name?
I have seen a number of conflicting stories about the Sierra, the Elegant Beauty, and the Aero. I would be interested in the full story if it is available somewhere.
Unfortunately, you have to protect your IP to maintain it. If they did start the name, it is probably too late to try enforcing it now.
Do you have a recommended solution for this? I agree that it is a large problem.
If you decided to call yourself a "Rockefeller", people might perceive you as being extremely wealthy. You would be happy with this, since often wealthy people get gifts from people. So, the only way you would change is if the real Rockefellers forced the change.
I believe this is the case, here. The "hangers-on" will only change their names if Berea can force them to. It may be too late for this to happen with the sierra. But, I am strongly encouraging Berea to "claim their names" in the future.
By the way, "ExoticBlanks" is a registered trademark, for all craft applications, just in case anyone was thinking of using it.
