But many ares only Knock offs: - The Roll bar of the German "Bügel" has already been patented by Peter BRUCE more than 30 years ago.. - The Rocna is not at all an original anchor; it copy the non lested Sword principle, the concave shape of the Spade, the "roll bar" of the Bügel and the shape of the shank of the Delta. The Manson Supreme is slightly more "original" the sloted shank is not really a new invention, but the Cylindrical shaped fluke is original (with perhaps the exception of the Bruce fluke). the Sarca is a plow.. with a sloted shank and strange looking openings on the fluke.. but any of those 'New" designs are good improvements over the Last century anchors..
