Ebay Fake Stilleto

fakeflash7.jpgfakeflash8.jpgfakeflash9.jpgView attachment 497013FakeFlash.jpgNever buy a knife on ebay without studying the model you want. A huge number of fakes are models that don't exist, sometimes using actual model names, sometimes just making model numbers up.
Know what features are/were available on the model you are interested in. There have been fakes that had blacked out blades on models that never offered it. Never buy a knife being sent from China or Hong Kong, or has an absurdly low starting bid price with big shipping costs.

This guy was a US shipper. Just unfortunate.

He has been reported to Ebay management, but I doubt anything will come of it.
 
Trademark infringement for non-existent sog marked designs...
Would be buyers who bother to check well before any purchase
Would have certainly saved themselves the embarrassment of inadvertently
Supporting the sale of such dubiously inferior products.
 
What's really terrifying are the numbers "Sold" of these things, and the number of
people who are going to think SOG knives are garbage as a result.
 
I have a buddy who's dad purchased a large number of kabar usmc fighters last month from eBay...I was excited about maybe getting one at a bargain price. He got the box of them Saturday....worst looking fakes I've seen in a while, which surprised me since his dad knows his blades. He went to contact the guy about it, the guys account is now gone. Seems to be no trace of him on eBay now.
I usually only buy from known online retailers and brick and mortars. Sucks people are actually cheating people out of hard earned money on crap.

Your welcome, glad I could help. I've seen a few of those fakes online, some were new to me. I'll have to keep my eye out for any and let you guys know.
