Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. But I believe that is a clone of the Medford praetorian. It has the black screws as opposed to the silver ones.
If that's the case it's worth about $20.00 on the bay.
Here's a pic of the clone from the inter webs.

Agian I'm not sure so I'm asking here I can't find a pic of it on line and he is asking me about it after I saw the m and made a comment. he won it in a raffle a few years ago. I know he's not been the greatest to it cause he didn't know what he had if it's real
 
Medford goes over the way to spot fakes here:

I am fairly certain that is a fake due to the pivot bolt alone. Medford has said he has never used chainring bolts. I forget what the other easy things to look for are but he goes over them in that video. It's a Praetorian btw. A new, authentic one, is in the $4-600 range.
 
Hey everyone who helped me out a big TY that's why I love BF. I just got off the phone with Medford and was told to send pics to them which I did and within 3 mins a response that it was a fake was the news I received. And that's fine I just wanted to make sure and that's what happened. To me it sucks because my buddy would have had a great knife for a small raffle fee but now has a knife a ticket cost him 60 bucks to win. Not worth 60 bucks and 20 others who spent 60 bucks. To him I doubt he cares because he's not a knife guy at all. Shame even raffles are being hit with bs fakes. Agian thanks to the BF community this is why this place rocks.

And you are right I didn't at first ask if it was a fake. And I thank you for the info I got from you in your post because it made me start asking questions about authenticity so agian ty
 
Yep, that's a fake Medford alright, costs ~$20.

If PayPal was used to collect fees, I would check if it is possible to open a claim stating a guy ripped 20 folks off over a fake knife in a raffle.
