I picked up this used One-Piece recently at a good price. I had always wanted one and when I found out that production had stopped, I figured I better get busy. It did not have a box or paperwork. Can some of the experts here tell me what I have? it's a 5 1/2" blade stamped "MADE IN USA" on the back. I think it's a fairly new Shadow III, maybe? Also, with all of the fakes and knock-offs floating around, please tell me I didn't get screwed?

Anyway, here are 3 pics:

Thanks for any input:

The blade tip is cut off of your pic a little, but looks to be a Shadow IV. The Shadow III has a 4" blade.
 
The blade is 5 1/2" from tip to guard. That's an 8 1/2 X 11 legal pad its laying on. OAL is about 10 1/4".
 
Randy, If the blade is 4", its a shadow III, if the blade is 5 1/2", its a shadow IV. I have both. The shadow III was my first CRK........then the addiction began.....lol.

Here, you can see the shadow III is about the size as a large sebenza

Here is a pic of my One Piece Collection. I have to update it because the Jereboam II and Project II are gone, while I have to add a 5 1/2" USN Knonka and others. But its still a good pic to show the size difference between the 9"; 7 1/2"; 5 1/2"; and 4"

Thanks for the help, guys. It must be a Shadow IV, then.

And nice collection. This will probably be my only One Piece unless I stumble on a deal or something (and i'm usually a day late or a $$ short.) At least I keep telling myself that.:D
