Is my knife a counterfeit?

Hello everyone,

I just recently picked up a couple of TREs and the two blades look identical, but the boxes are a bit different. I was wondering if anyone could chime in and tell me if either are fakes or just different runs? My main issues stem from the boxes, they have different stampings on them. Picture below, any help would be appreciated.

Edit: The top TRE was bought second hand with the timascus thumb disk, the bottom TRE was ordered from a Finnish site called Lamnia.

My TRE CF are from over a year ago and the wooden box and CF texture look like the top picture. So, it looks legit.

If the bottom one was purchased from Lamnia that's also legit since they're an authorized LionSteel dealer.

Perhaps there are slight variations in the wooden boxes and CF texture.

Not only that, one has a ceramic detent and the other has steel.

The one from Lamnia was purchased directly by you recently? That one has the ceramic detent ball. I believe my old ones from 2015 have steel detent balls.
 
The one with the ceramic detent ball is direct from Lamnia myself. It also is in the package with the different stamped symbol.

Please show us the "different stamped symbol" of each knife.

Not "Lion STEEL" versus "lionSTEEL". They've gone back and forth on that.
