Counterfeit Infidel?

[Al-C]

Hi, there's an "Infidel" being offered in an online estate auction that I'm fairly certain is a fake. Did Benchmade ever offer the Infidel with a glass breaker, because this one has one. Pretty sure that the butterfly on the blade is wrong and the groove on the blade isn't right either. Just thought I'd check because I haven't handled more than one or two Infidels although I've looked at a lot online. Thanks.

Your instincts were correct. That is absolutely not legit. At all.

Yep it's a fake.

Thank you, I find it interesting that after I emailed the auction company informing them that this was a counterfeit knife they replied with "Thank you for the information." and haven't removed the listing. I have seen definite fakes for sale in another online auction and when I reported they were removed immediately.

Is this legit or fake?

Fake

 

[Centermass]

Absolutely bogus.

 

[Delta-v]

Definitely fake. The worst part is it's not even a copy of an Infidel. It looks to be a poor copy of the discontinued Pagan.

yeah that ain’t right?
