No offense intended, that picture is not helpful at all. It's poorly lit, out of focus, as about as clear as mud. THis thread might help:

Also, pics of both sides help. Some very good fakes are only tell able by the print on the steel.

From what i can tell its real. The jimping is correct, the hardware is correct as is the logo. The shiro clones have got much closer but they arent that close.

I haven't seen a clone use the cutouts by the jimping on the blade.....yet

I think purple and scout are correct. Pic of other side would prove it, but pretty sure you have a real one.

I've owned a bunch of real ones and am very familiar with the fakes. That's a real one.
