Buck Boot Knife: Real or Fake?

[riversidedep]

I've never seen this model before, and it doesn't appear to be on the Buck website. I'm guessing it's not a real Buck?

Yeah, generic Chinese dive knife. Sold under a few different brand names. Those star screws are a dead giveaway. Typical Chinese screws. I don't believe Buck has ever used those screws, not even on their least expensive fixed-blades.

What's the number on the end of the box?

That’s a fake knife, never made by Buck

Happy Hippo's boot knife (post #5) is a genuine Buck, lest anyone is confused by Slice-and-dice's reply on post #6. I am confident that S & d was referencing the original picture in Post #1
