Bump knockoffs?

samhain73 · May 23, 2007

Ok, I have seen some weird Bumps on Ebay lately, blade designs not matching up with serial numbers, now one I can believe, but now I've seen a few. #141 is on there now, and it's a new style blade(the ones after 300). Are these possible(?) or is someone making knockoffs?

Ken Onion has a forum section for reporting knock-offs on his website: http://www.kenonionknives.com

Dammit, I have a bid on that one. It looks like the old style blade to me.

This is the fate of successfull designs. The market is flooded with Chive and Scallion clones, so another one won't be that surprising to me

This is what you were referring to.

If it's a fake it sure looks real...

There are lots of reasons that can result in numbering inconsistencies

here's an img pulled from google that is not the stock photo. looks similar.

is that a fake? and what would be the wrong characteristics?....anyone!

That is the real deal. We made two slightly different blade shapes with that knife. This Titanium Frame lock design is very different from the Studlock version.

Great, now that it's on teh Kershaw forum, I'll never win it.

Ok, this is what I mean, the one numbered 001 to 300 are this style,

And the ones numbered 301-present are this style,

So it looks like the blade style is wrong for the serial#?!

blade in question, for comparison.
