I am not super familiar with Benchmade knives so please excuse my ignorance.

I bought and received this knife this week.

No real issues, just a slight concern. If you look at the laser etched logo, the "®" is just a dot, it is so blurry. Is this normal? Based on other photos I have seen, that symbol is more clear.

Not sure if this knife is one that has been faked but I am curious.

I much appreciate the helpful input.
 
I don't know if I can say it's "normal." However, looking at a couple of Benchmades I have here in front of me...
Once has a the "®" etched very plainly. Another doesn't even have it. And one has it so small it just appears as a dot to me.
Looking at everything else in the photos as closely as I can, and comparing to known specimens that I have, I can't spot anything that makes me doubt it is a genuine Benchmade. Unfortunately, I do not have the specific model.
 
Yeah looks legit to me, and if it is a fake then the maker put in a lot of attention to detail.
