Just picked up a Shaman from a local retailer. I disassembled it and Everything looks perfect. Washers not bearings and the blade markings seem fine. The thing that makes me wonder if it's a fake is the weight came in at 5.11 not 5.2. I have another Shaman and it is 5.2 exactly. My question is based on the slight weight difference, could this be a clone? Also checked my scale and it is correct. Many thanks.
 
The site will not let me post pics. Just asked Google how to post pics here and it told me i have to use a photo hosting site or something like that. I'm an old guy and not familiar with all that. Will go try to figure it out
 
Imgur is a relatively simple image hosting service, free as well. Someone will chime in sooner than later that will be of more help. Pretty sure you’ll find the answer about the counterfeit or not here.

What units for the weight?
Ounces? You think the knife might be bogus because the weight is off by .09 ounces? That's 2.6 grams. That's not enough of a difference to call foul.
 
I weigh all my knives when I first receive them and being +/- 0.2 oz. off the manufacturer's specs isn't uncommon.

If everything else looks good I wouldn't stress over it. :)
