counterfeit

From the same guy:

Yes, these have to be fakes. Above is a Stainless Steel Sage in 5Cr13Mov (??) I tried to look up this steel in the Zknives app and the closest steel is 5Cr15Mov which is a Chinese reproduction of German X50CrMov15 steel. A popular German kitchen knife steel, sometimes listed as 440A.

Of course, looking up CTS-XHP as is listed in the title says it is an equivalent to 440C or D2 depending on hardness.

The sale is vague enough in the regard of steels used and construction that I would definitely call theses fakes.
