Is this Cold steel night force a Original or a counterfeit

Found it at a flea market for $8 bucks.

It looks like it might be one of the older Night Force models, from around 2008-2010. If that's the case, it likely has 440 steel and FRN scales, has a 4-inch blade and is 9 inches long overall.

Looks authentic.

I'm going to say authentic. Compare it to the one I just picked up (for substantially more than $8) in this thread (post #3044): https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/everyones-latest-acquisitions.1376705/page-153.

edit: Like rje said, it's an older model that hasn't been in the catalog for years. 440A blade, Zytel handle, nested steel liners.

That's the exact knife. I am certain it's authentic now TY. The good news is if I find the guy next week he has another vintage cold steel unsure of the model. He only asked $10 closed at $8.

I have no idea what those used to sell for, but it certainly looks like you got a bargain. Where can you get a Cold Steel folder for $8 these days?

The flea market.

Anyone know how I can go about getting a pocket clip and screws for this knife? I can't edc it without one. How do I contact coldsteel?

Calling them is the best way: 866-599-5085. Though the knife's been discontinued for a number of years, the pocket clip looks identical to the one on the Voyagers (just compared it to my Large Voyager), so they ought to be able to hook you up with one.
