Counterfeit Blur?

sh00ter01 · Sep 25, 2012

Found a really good price on a Blur, but I'm always suspicious and firmly believe in the old "if it's too good to be true..." adage.

So, does anyone know if there are counterfeit Blurs out there? Or, did I maybe find someone trying to just get rid of old inventory?

Don't have any pictures of the knife(s) in question (other then the generic factory pic).

I don't think they'd counterfeit a blur IMO... I mean if it really is a fake return it when you get it

I've never seen a counterfeit Blur. I don't doubt they are out there. The Blur is a popular model. What specific model of Blur is it?
What sort of place is it being sold at/from? If there are no pictures you probably will need to go on the reputation of the seller
and what information you can find about them.

There are a lot of places online that have ridiculously low prices but don't actually have the item. Sometimes this is intentional,
other times they have a fulfillment service or wholesaler like Blue Ridge and when an order comes in they then order from their
person, but they aren't updating their prices or what is currently available. So you'll see knives listed at clearance prices that
haven't actually been available for years but they've never got around to updating their website.

I got a genuine Tanto Blur of the fleabay for around 20$.

Plus, you can get the Amazon 420HC blur for dirt cheap.

It is quite easy to find a blur for very little money.

I've seen a number of fake leeks, but never a fake blur.

Well, I messaged the seller and he's proceeded to pull the sales listing soooo, must have been a mistake in the list price, too good to be true...

Yeah, though for the price I would have liked to pick up a few... or five...

The guy message me back later and said there was a mess up with his IT department and that he'd hope to have the items re-listed in 72hrs. Sounds kinda fishy, but we'll see if he re-list them and at what price.
