Fake CS knives? Help!!!!!

[tendy]

I purchase two Cold Steel knives recently, no not on Ebay, and before I go after anyone I need your assistance I purchased what was advertised as two Carbon V knives one Trailmaster and one Recon Scout. Both came in Cold Steel boxes but I just do not know eneough about these knives are they authentic or Fake. Ive got an uneasy feeling

Trailmaster




Recon Scout

If someone is making fake CS knives, thats pretty sad...kinda like giving someone imitation Herpes.

I don't know.
But some time ago I bought a trailmaster, and being suspicious I written an e-mail to CS sending pictures. After three days they answered me that my knife was a real CS.

Sorry about the B+Ws don't know why it did that

First two are from Scout the others from Trailmaster

That's about the funniest thing I've heard all day.

They look authentic to me.

I take it you did not buy from a dealer? You might try looking for a pic online of the C-5 series blades. The Carbon V stamp on the Recon looks unfamiliar but that's not to say that the stampings changed on later models.

If they feel unusually cheap then you may have a copy. CS sheaths aren't always the highest quality so that is not a good indicator. Also if you got a really "good" deal....

At first glance, they look fine.

This, as opposed to normally cheap...
