Is this 0180 a fake? Just got this on the secondary market does not have a box, . Been looking for one for awhile since I sold mine in college. The different screws on the handle are throwing me for a loop. Thanks in advance.

The screws are different than mine, which are rounded coming out of the scales.

The tip is quite a bit different. Looking down from the spine, my tip is a long diamond and evenly ground.

The jimping is different, too. My jimping is square, not rectangular.

I'd contact ZT/Kershaw and see if they can help.

I watched the blade hq overview of it, the jimping on mine matches with the one they have in the video

Those photos look a lot better than your original ones.

I guess it's just the scale screws that are different. My serial number is later than yours (1600s), so maybe they changed to different hardware.

Hope yours is real. It's a great knife. Great steel. Except for the sheath. I had a custom made, because the stock sheath was so bad.

The supplied sheath while well made, does not fit the knife in any way other than length. Its garbage
