Fake is fake without any doubts.

Hello to everyone.
Here you may see some photos with the fake copy of Buck 192 Vanguard .
My Russian colleagues have bought this knife especially for research on the matter of quality of that Chinese fake.
The price is approx. 17 USD.
As you can see , this knife can easily be bended by hands without any serious efforts.
It is an absolutely imposible event with the original Buck 192 Vanguard.
The handle rod is made of absolute soft metal and poorly welded to an edge etc.
The blade is made of a steel kinda like 440A, no one wants to do a special chemical analysis for this so-called "product attempt".
Do not buy those cheapest copies if you do not want to be disappointed.

I guess they are just out to make a quick buck.

Yes, while the user hasn't merely dropped it down.

Hello Mr. BG42EDGE , you are always welcomed in all my threads.
I remember your sense of humor and I highly appreciate some English lessons you have made to me.

Maybe there's an untapped market for knives that can cut around corners!

Thank you Mr. 110 Dave for your nice words.
I always remember about this BUCK forum, but last hunting season was not so successful for me
and therefore I haven't got any significant photos to share with them here at the bladeforums.com.
I'm trying to improve my English a bit, because I don't understand a few words or phrases here,
but I'm not a totally "hopeless man" concerning English language questions.
Anyway the next season will be , and then will be some new and interesting photos or stories from this side of Earth.
