Extrema Ratio Fakes

I'm intrested in getting the Extrema Ratio bayonet. I saw some on ebay and got me to wondering. Are there any fakes on ebay ? If any one knows of them let me know.

I don't know about your listing, but Extrema Ratio fakes have been common on Ebay. A few months ago, a number of offerings were taken down.

Yeah, there do seem to be a lot of Extrema Ratio fakes out there.

Can't understand it, but it is so.

Obvious indicaters are sellers from China and Australia (the two places I've seen sellers hawking obvious fakes). Some seller from Canada seems to be selling fakes, too. There also seems to be a few third party sellers in the U.S. selling fakes on the 'bay.

A virtual cornucopia of sellers of fakes.

Personally, I'd stay away from ebay on Extema Ratio products except from the sellers that also have other, more substantial Net or Brick-N-Mortar stores.

Anybody own one of these fakes? I've heard that you cannot really tell them apart.

Although I honestly feel it's in areas where you cannot see is where the difference lies. The difference in performance will be evident in time.

The ER fakes are back. They're made in china with the name and made in Italy on it. When I started asking about them never got a straight answear.
