I got these for a pretty good deal for used knives. I had my suspicions... I am not the best photographer but this is the best I can do. Can I get some help identifying these as either genuine or fake please? Thanks!

$100 for the pair...the Nimvarus was described to me as "an old used knife" from a guy in Iraq.....

There are a bunch of fakes floating around and some are getting better and closer to the real deal than we knife enthusiasts would like. The last batch of fake 42's were actually decently done and priced at like $50 a price, which is a fair amount for a fake if you ask me. I myself like to find that these threads do indeed contain the real deal. I don't want a fellow member to get cheated. There was one a few weeks back with a fake benchmade 32 that someone got in a trade. That was heart breaking. But it is nice to have fellow BF members help you out when you are unsure about a good deal because there are no boxes or proof of purchase, etc.
As for the nim+530, that was a good deal, my first knife was a 530 and I paid ~$70 new for it. Nice and light, I thought I'd like the spear point blade shape, but I have grown fonder of the shape of my sebenza blade.
