More pictures would help. The fake kobuns can be difficult to identify.

This one has a very strange looking grind near the tip, where the grind transitions. The sharpening choil does not look right either. I bet this one is a fake.

If the other side of the sheath doesn’t have a Registered Trademark symbol (“R” inside of a circle) following “Secure-Ex”, then it is definitely a fake. Still, given the two issues I’ve already spotted, I’m pretty sure this one is fake.

Thank you for your answer jux t , I have asked the brand and more photos to the seller , the knife is in French second hand website like "Craig list" in USA ,the price is 40 euros , I will see awaiting his answer
 
I put the cold steel offical website model announcement and the sale announcement in a screenshot together and I already noticed that on the blade of the used tanto the "R" missed after the name of the knife



And few minutes ago the seller sent to me others photos ,let me know what do you think ?

PS
My recon is my 1st tanto by cold steel original

Even if I got a Busse combat knife bought in 2007 ,posted few hours ago in the right topic ,my 1st big blade I am not an expert in knives
