Fake Chris Reeves folder.

[Golden Gate Bridge]

I was at a small gun & knife show & found a fake CR for $100!! Everything was perfect.....no China marking! I'm telling ya'll I went over it
completely....it was drop dead perfect......I KNEW it was fake...$100.....did I buy it....no....but I must admit I came close!I see a real problem here.....suppose a guy gets 50 of these fakes & starts to sell them as real CR knives.....he will make a nice haul.I even thought of buying it & showing Chris at BLADE 2015 ....then thought ....it would just p*** him off.Curious,how can a famous maker protect himself from China copies.Guy's I'm not kidding ....this knife was flawless.

I've work in the surplus/auction business. Knife dealers get sick, get in accidents, die, get thrown in jail, and then their property gets sold at auction prices. Sometimes legitimate authentic items can be found at 10-50% off new prices.

Maybe...but any knife person should know used Sebenzas sell pretty quickly priced @ 25% off retail so seeing a brand new one @ 75% off would be a MAJOR red flag.

You never know, it depends on the situation. I read gun forums and I saw a post where a guy got a legit $2000 Nightforce scope for $100 at yard sale. The scope was sold by a man's wife who was trying to liquidate her husband's hobby inventory out of anger.
