Why so few W968 clones

[JustANoob]

I've been wondering, compared to the Viscaria, W968, especially the national "bigger head" variant, seems to have very few clones.

With the exception of Xiom trying something, I havent really seen much attempts from other big manufacturers to reproduce.

Cant be because of popularity.

Regular players not being able to use it to its full potential kind of seems like a moot point, since that pretty much goes for other popular "pro player" blades as well.

Is it just not worth it? Usually money is the obvious answer....

So what do you think?

If the w968 stays relevant which is looks like it will then expect more to come from other manufacturers
