I don’t think the sheath is original. I have never seen a Gerber sheath like that.

As to the knife, I have no idea.

Not allowed to link to an active Ebay listing.

Quoting it is frowned upon as well.

Pulled the link, sorry bout that little bit of law breaking. I loved the dodgey looking sheath, made from canvas firefighting hose he said.

I guess if I can't get an image of one from Google, then it must be a fake.

I recently bought an american made US1 that I'm perfectly satisfied with , but the BG stuff definitely did not do them any justice at all.

Fakes are definitely something I hate, and I feel 99% of BF members also do.

Most of the fakes are made in Communist China. And yes they even make fakes of the cheap knives.

A fake Gerber makes about as much sense as counterfeiting $1 bills.

It would not make any sense, unless the P.R.O.C. government was subsidizing it. And if so then it does make perfect sense.
