I'm sorry for your loss,and i don't want to rain on your sale,but i must tell you this are chinese clones.At least sell them as such,and you won't get a lot of complains.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say chinese clones?
I'm not an expert on knives. I welcome someone pointing out my mistakes and I correct any mistakes as I make them.

As far as these three fixed blade knives, two are Gerber and I don't know where the Meyerco is made.

These are used low priced knives, priced fairly. I see no indication they are Chinese clones. What are you seeing that I'm not? Typically the Chinese clone high dollar knives.

The chinese are copying anything,they don't give a shit about copy rights,and when it comes to knives,you can be sure that any knive who has a little notoriety will be ''cloned''.This means they will make a low quality replica with cheap steel,and they'll sell it for a fraction of the price.For example,the price for a Bear Grylls Paracord knife is around 60$,but you can buy a clone for around 20$.I don't go into ethics,anyone should buy what he wants,and if someone buy a replica knowing it's a replica,just to feel the knife in hand,or to use it as a beaterr it's one thing,,but if someone buys a knife thinking it's original,and then finds out he got a replica,he will be disapointed.

True,they target mostly expensive knives,but they also clone cheap ones.For example there are clone of the Kershaw Cryo,or Spyderco Tenacious-probably produced in the same factory as the originals.Here is one example:
