I will say that I have read reviews of Easy Wood Tools "type" tools and
the "knock offs" do not get as good of reviews as those of the Easy Wood

Well, Mac Davis posted the following here a while back:

"I got the Woodchuck "Bowl-Pro" tool and I'm lovin' it..
Anyone that is considering the EX Rougher should go for Woodchuck tools
by Ken Ferrel..
http://www.woodchuck-tools.com/
The price on the tool was $65, which included 2 different size/radius
carbide cutters.. Half the price of the EZ and the same tool..
I bought it to rough irregular ironwood blanks but in playing with it, I
was
even doing beads and curves with ease..
Used level like a scraper, you can hog out huge amounts of wood but I
feel it really shines on light cuts.. Nice smooth cut, very little force
on the tool rest and NO force or vibration on your hands.."

I'd call that a good review :-).
