I’m new to Bladeforums so I do apologize if this topic has already been discussed.
I follow ARS knives on Instagram and I’m a little suspect of the knives they are selling. Some of them I have noticed are clones from notable makers. When I inquire about a specific knife the person who responds to my message is very pushy to sell and immediately asked for mailing address and payment options. Does anyone know the ins and outs from these knife sellers on social media? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Can you provide evidence of the clones? I don't recognize any of their models as such, but I don't follow many custom makers either.

Aside from that, A.R.S. seems to produce some overpriced nonsense. I'm sure they're of acceptable quality, but they're priced like a high end midtech and look like a fleabay special.
 
I had a peek at their insta profile.
Some generic knives, some influenced by other knives, as you say. Also quite a few Pakistani-looking knives. That combined with few specifics on steel type (on the few I bothered to look closer at) would make me say run. Dont walk away, run.
 
Phuck him !
Not clones, (I believe) he is stealing pictures from makers and trying to sell them.

He has a CAS subhilt for sale that the makers mark has been photoshopped out.

Do you mean @arsknives or @ars_knives? The former looks like "tactical mall ninja marketing BS"-type knives the latter looks like "Lemme post some pakistani crap and some custom knives and see how many suckers I can reel in" (since some of the fixed blades look like CAS Knives and MBB's at a glance)
 
A.R.S. knives is very different than the ig ars. The 1st as a good reputation from a reputable custom maker Alex Shunnarah. The second is a d bag stealing pictures and will most likely steal your money as well and another point of advice is don't buy knives on Instagram.
