Unbelievable!
We have recently discovered that counterfeit American Kensei 47 Swords are being made right here in the States and sold on Ebay and possibly on other sites as well.
We have not yet been able to make contact with all of the buyers as of this posting.
We understand that these swords are being made and sold out of the (Broken Arrow)/Tulsa, Oklahoma area by sources not affiliated with us.
This blatant counterfeiting of our product and selling by use of our name and reputation will not stand.
The ones that we have examined look exactly like the real deal at first glance and in photos. However, these samples have not been heat treated and have handles that are not flush with the tang. We have seen samples with multi-colored G-10 and Black paper micarta handles.
A few threads have been started about this in the past couple of days but were deleted at our request as our attorneys were working on this matter.
If you believe that you may have purchased a counterfeit Busse sword or spot one on another site, please call us immediately! Ask for Jerry when you call: (419) 923-6471
I am not able to give out any more information at this point but will keep you updated when possible.
If you see a Sterile or suspicious looking American Kensei 47 sword for sale on the secondary market or have any other questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Jerry
