I read the link that skybone provided and I will say that I am 99% sure these are the real deal....they are quality knives and not junk in any way....the CRKT weblink
"Cheap copies of actual CRKT designs. Some rip-off artists are making cheap copies of popular CRKT designs. These copies look similar to our products, but are usually shoddily made using inferior steels, coatings and handle materials. They illegally feature the CRKT logo and markings.When viewed on a low-resolution web site image, these knives cant be distinguished from the real thing. However, when handled and compared to a real CRKT knife, their lack of quality, poor assembly, and inferior folding and locking action is obvious. The buyer will also notice lesser edge-holding ability after a little use."
I can not say how their edge-holding ability is but they are stout knives.....I will not sell junk and if I thought they were knock-offs...I would pull this sale. SO....they are still for sale.
thanks, Andy
