That is the worst fake I have ever seen. Good god no. The lockside and blade stamping/grinds are so far off that I can't believe someone would try and pass that off as real.

edit: every time I go back and look at it, I find something even more laughably wrong than the last thing. I'm nearly lol'ing at that fake.
 
Looks just like the authentic strider "clones" on the auction site
 
Thank you everyone! He originally wanted $200 and my first reaction was that its a fake based on price alone.

He now wants $50 but I think ill save up for the real thing.
 
Paul Bos tang stamp? Can't be new, Bos stamps aren't done anymore. When Buck moved to Idaho, Strider didn't ship blades back and forth, just kept sending them out to the old local shop in LA which had been blessed off by Bos to continue the work.

Fake.
