They didn't copy the craftsmanship, just the design.
Production craftsmanship is based using the exact right materials that meet all of the requirements of the engineering design; following the exact manufacturing processes to produce a product that is guaranteed to meet all of the engineering specifications; and having verifiable monitoring to ensure that every unit built meets all of the design parameters.
Those are great looking knockoff's and I am not saying that they are not built well, but there is no real craftsmanship.
