Wondering if anybody could provide me some feedback. I found this knife online for a good price, and was wondering if it was fake.


Here's the text from the ad:

"Solid lockup, no blade play and a very smooth action. Still has a sharp factory edge. Has never been beat on. This is the gunner grip edition which has very coarse stipling on the handle for a superior grip even with gloved hands."

its fake bro. same knife for sale on the biggest counterfit site for 18$, A real strider has a over extension disk.
 
My guess would be fake b/c they don't put the bos heat treat stamp on their SnGs anymore, plus the thumb stud looks way to big. How much are they asking?

You might want to remove those pics, I think it gives access to your whole album. May be normal, I don't know.
 
No lock stabilizer is the immediate visual tell on this one. Not all are that easy though as many will be so close even a pro can be fooled if not looking close before buying. I saw a DCC that was so close it would have fooled even me. I'm still amazed at some of the knives. It is very hard to tell on some until you back a screw out and check to see if it is metric or not. In these close cases one has to be reliant on the hardware as the final tell.

Not necessarily. The first generation Striders did not have the Hinderer Lock Stop. The Lock Stop started in the second gens I believe.

Regardless it is still a blatant fake.
