Fake?

Thomas Linton · Jul 1, 2012

This does not look like a Recon Scout to me. 9.6" blade? Trail Master picture and specs? 440C? Hong Kong.

I have edited this post to remove the link by instruction of a mod.

Because it is coming from China, that is why.
Definitely a fake.

It doesnt claim to be CS, it says "Recon style"

Thomas Linton · Jul 1, 2012

Many "style" products there, but this seller can't even get his pictures right. 0__0

The spine actually looks of a decent thickness.

Any knife coming from China is a fake.

PS to the OP- It's bad juju to post a link to a current auction.

Most knives from china. Most, not all. They do make a few of their own...

But yeah. What exactly was the purpose of posting a link to a blatantly obvious fake?

I owned an CS Trailmaster, which this appears to be a copy of.

There are many knives that are made in China that are not fakes, or copies.

AG Russel has a line of knives made in China that are fantastic for fit and finish for the price (or even 3 times more)! I would recommend them to anyone.
