Sorry the title is a bit misleading but hoping to get some pointers as I've just bought a 0095bw for another guy here in south Africa and a bit worried it might be a fake. I'm using a escrow service so I can examine the knife before accepting it and I'm hoping someone can let me know what to look out for to identify if it's real or fake.

I've tried to research but can't seem to find any clones for the BW version but you never know what may have come onto the market.
 
Pictures? I have a real one, so I might be able to give some input. I'm not really on the up and up what is cloned and what isn't though.
 
There are definitely fakes of the 0095 (Ali). Obviously, the main places selling them don't post great photos; so I can't tell you what to look for...but, like the poster above, I'm willing to try to help if you post detailed images.

*edited to add*
I just took a look on a real computer (as opposed to my phone), and - at least with Ali's - they aren't too difficult to tell. Handle is black G10, rear standoff screws wrong color, may or may not have logo & other identifiers
**edited again, to add**
Same with dh's

The above notwithstanding, for peace of mind, posting detailed images will let us do some comparisons if you'd like input.

I'll ask for some higher resolution photos and post them, looks definitely like a TI handle. I did see quite a few fakes for the Russian stonewashed version but couldn't see anything for the BW version specifically.

But thank you guys I do appreciate the assistance.
