How Can You Tell If You Bought A Real Shirogorov?

Razor · Feb 27, 2020

I bought a couple from a member on here. I am not say they are not the real Shiro, but I saw a Green Thorn version on ebay that looked just like mine. Both knives came with the box, cloth and card. Is their any way to be sure I got the real deal? I guess you all know they were not cheap. The guy I bought them from said he got them from Recon 1. I sure would hate to think I got the Green Thorn versions.

Post some pics or if you bought here, add the sales link. Most all members know selling a knock off will get you banned.
I’d either trust this place or an authorized dealer.

Yep post pics here. But all greenthorn versions I’ve seen don’t have the proper box and papers. And I have not seen Knock off recon 1 cards. Not saying they don’t exist, just saying I haven’t seen either

post pics I’d the knives, all angles, good quality photos, along with photos of the boxes and cards. We’ve got some very knowledgeable members.

They did not come with Recon 1 cards. I will try to post them tomorrow.

Well, if it's spelled the same as in the title of your thread, SHIROGOROW.... then it's probably not legit.

But I agree with others... post pics. Folks in the know abound here.

They were bought from Recon 1. They are the real deal.

Use one of our supporting retailers?

Agreed. a SCHMIROGOROV is a fake.

If they indeed did, then yes, they are the real deal. The original card would help assure that.

And how did you come to that conclusion? What has changed since you started this thread asking if these were real?

I purchased all my Shiros from recon1 and none of them came with a recon1 card.
