Is this a fake Groove?

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-KERSHAW-KEN...ltDomain_0?hash=item5ad5dba2c5#ht_3150wt_1167

There are no markings on the blade. The texture of the G10 and the shape of the inlay are different than the one I have and the one on Kershaw's website here:

The handle is cut slightly differently, too, and the description says "Ken Onion," although it cites designer RJ Martin later.

The price is a good bit lower than average, too.

It's just an old pic. The seller is using outdated info and doesn't really know who designed it.
If you want one for almost near the same price. $49 after Priority shipping, go here

I was gonna say, it dang sure LOOKS like a Groove.
I'm wondering if the knock-off companies are going to try to tackle those striated blades?

The main pic , you can see Kershaw on the blade , really faded though.

Great knife from a great company

I scanned back through his completed auctions (he sells a LOT of stuff), and noticed he recently sold both a LEEK and a JYD for $29 each....maybe he just sells stuff cheap, and relies on high volume to make money.
