Advice: is this for real or is it fake?

[philwar]

Saw it on the Bay, it looks fake or seriously modded to me. Let someone who actually know shed some light?



Seller claims it's a SAR-5.

Edit: Never mind. Found it.

Looks like a SAR5 to me.

 

[drbarnes]

standard sar5.... does look a bit funky but thats the standard model

 

[knife hunter]

Jaxx is.....










Correct, as usual

 

[PeterPHWS]

It looks right to me as well ... the knife looks standard for a SAR 5 ... but they were totally different to the usual "Busse shape" with no choil and no talon hole finger guard ... however I am no expert on this model ...

 

[Bigfattyt]

yup, nothing wrong that I can see. Looks spot on!

 

[tomthebaker]

I think of it as "homely."

 

[SavageSmurf]

Aye, Sar5 mate.

 

[Mr. Clean]

Ah, my beloved Sar-5. How could one even insinuate it is a fake!

 

[M67]

Great, another person who thinks it's ugly

 

[philwar]

Thx guys.

SAR-5. Jerry has readily admitted it's a failed design, and sold them at a discount with such a disclaimer. The SAR-4,6,8 followed as an improvement on the basic idea.

 

[azwelke]

Yep, SAR 5. Jerry thinks it's ugly

From the pics I would say that it is an authentic, (ugly), straight from the shop, (we were drunk), Sar 5. OK I'll be fair, perhaps not ugly so much as it was just ahead of its time.

I only opened this thinking I was in the Cove... so disappointed...

LMAO! :thumbup:
I guess it's just a matter of time before it becomes a classic then!

Wait... you've been here since 2009 and didn't know what a SAR5 was/is? Or were you questioning something else about it?

It's been completely below my radar until now. Wait... IT'S A STEALTH BUSSE!

Correct my friend, only a matter of time.

A very long long time.

I think the SAR-5 with Res-C handles would be AWESOME!!! Lighter weight and a great small knife!!!:thumbup:
