You're a bad man, D Danke42 . Not wrong, but nonetheless.

J jrott12 Post pics, many pics - You will undoubtedly get the answer you asked for.

Welcome to blade forums by the way !

Look inside scales with flashlight. There should be a date code, such as C18. You can also go thier website and fill out the information form to send it in. They will clean and verify its authenticity.

There can be loads of tells, from blade steel, price you paid, where you bought it, screws and on, but I have found the dates inside the scales to be a good one.
And they don't have to be the ssme on each scale

As stated each scale should have a date code stamped inside.

Also, If it has Torx anywhere = fake right off the bat.

Thread 'How do I post pictures from a.....'

May 11, 2016

Whatever kind of device you have? There may be an app for that. Look for a picture/file sharing host. Prefreably one that is NOT porn related. You can use imgur.com, flickr, or any others. There are tutorials online on the "How To" part, search for it. In the mean time, searching here for threads on the subject is also a good idea. It's not a new question by any means.

Check if the screws are metric.

(For whatever reason, Chinese clones have metric screws, more often than not)

Since no one has expicitly stated this as far as I can see: The name of the founder and company is "Chris Reeve (Knives)", not "Reeves." An all too common oversight.

Anything marketed as "Reeves" is sure to be an illegitamite copy.

Welcome.
Where did you buy it?
How much did you pay?
What makes you think that it might not be legit?
How about please and thank you.

Go the the CRK sub forum and find older threads dealing with the question you are asking.
There are quite a few indicators to look for such as the letters in "Idaho made", the type of steel, torx, magnetic scales, price etc.

The "eyes" have it.

After Chris Reeve left the company, around 2016, are any of the knives they still make real Chris Reeve knives??

Deep, not serious question.


(His son and ex-wife have run the company since and they seem to still be fine, in case some start worrying)

You shouldn't exclude what your bank may know. And even if your bank is in Vegas, they'll sell your data faster than you can sneeze.

I believe there are countless ways to determine if your CRK is 'real'. For example, if a magnet sticks to a scale, it's not Titanium. If the lanyards are not the right fabric. If it's not the correct weight.

Bigger clues:

Did you buy it from a dude named Ali Baba?

Did you buy it from a warehouse named after the largest river in South America?

Did you fail to buy it from an authorized and reputable dealer?

Thank you for your reply. I figured it out, it is a fake it is still a pretty nice knife, though.
