Hi everyone I'm new to knife collecting and I would like some advice on whether this BK7 is genuine or not. I currently reside in China and I bought it from a good reviewed online shop. The thing that felt off is the coating, it looked like normal spray paint(maybe i'm wrong) with some dimples on it and the weight of the knife was not correct, official weight should be about 365g while the one I have is 369g. I attached some pics for y'all to see.



 
The coating has gone through various changes through the years. The older roll stamp is smooth and hard. The new laser etched ones are rough.
 
Also 3 gram difference isn’t very much. It’s like 3 paper clips. You’re probably within factory tolerance.
 
Alright you guys thanks a lot for the feedback, it feels like a great knife. It's my first one and I'm thinking about getting the Fallkniven F1x but I read that the handle is relatively small I got big hands so I might get something else. Thanks again
