Are you concerned that it is fake? It looks like it is real with some bead blasting to the blade and clip. Can't tell if your picture is distorting the color, but they have made blue versions of this knife. It looks more purple on my screen. I really doubt anyone is making a fake Ambitious. They usually fake high dollar CRK, Hinderer, or very very popular like the PM2.
 
i wasn't serious i just have never seen purple g10 for an ambitious nor replacement scales. that's all
 
Something funktastic is going on here. Those aren't the original scales, because the cutout is too close to the clip screws. The pivot is in "backward" relative to mine, too, though maybe it installs in either direction. Though it looks more squatty than mine, maybe its a real Ambitious with aftermarket scales and a bead blast. Or it could be a fake-a-zoid. Those squatty looking scales are throwing me for a loop.


The real deal.
 
Couldn't he have just dyed the scales? Not sure how hard it is to go from blue to purple. In any case, it looks great!

Now that you guys mention it, it might be a fake. Look at the jimping on the thumb ramp. Looks wrong to me.
 
I was wondering if that was even what you were asking. I knew it wasn't fake. The color looks nice, don't know if I would want it on a knife. I like a lot of colors, but not all belong on knives or cars.
 
They have a rustic kind of Micarta look to them, pretty cool look for a "working" knife look. I also like the bead blast better with these scales. Is this for the younger brother?

The knife is, but he will get a different set of handle scales, I know he would not want purple.

I wish I had a bead blaster, if you get one post up some photos...!
 
That mod looks great. In particular, the bead blast makes it look so much better. Good job!
