That's a Darrel design judging from the blade grind.

That is pretty confusing, but I just looked on DDR's site and the TRAK is listed under the knifekits on his page, so I'd say it's a DDR design. It looks like that site is listing all of their knifekits under the Greco category, why I don't know.

So you think what i have is a DDR ? Or something else ? It dont say what I have is a DDR ? But its the same size and design ! I would also like the sheath on that page and the handles ? How could I get them ?

Darrel Ralph turned the kit knife world upside down when he made/designed the 605 special. It is not made by him, but is designed by him and mass produced with different parts of the process being contracted out to various groups.
The idea took on quickly, with most knife making supply houses selling the majority of their order, before they were even in stock. It was quite a bit higher quality than other kit knives available at the time, and had the potential to be quite a bit easier to finish depending on what you wanted to do to it.

That led to more designs by darrel, and eventually www.kitknives.com . Darrel is not the only maker who designs/has designed kits for that page, but I think he is one of the main guys behind the company. Due to the popularity, it has branched out and those kits are now available through pretty much every single knife making supply house around.
I beleive the TRAK was a design from Darrel, and it is manufactured for the same company that runs www.kitknives.com with all of darrels other kits.
It is kind of confusing to see them sold by so many different suppliers but that is what you have.

OK, it looks like what you ordered is a Darrel Ralph design. Knifekits kits are sold by other vendors, so it's probably legit. If you want the scales and sheath, you can contact knifekits and see if they'll sell them to you seperately, or get some handle material and kydex and put them together on your own. Good luck.
