This is a video pointing out some of the flaws in this fake

A fake knife based off of a knife designed by a fake. Got it.

In all seriousness, it's sad that all these fakes based off of different companies' knives continue to sell. Where did he get it?

Where did he get it?

Probably off Fleabay or something similar if I had to guess. OP, to avoid this happening again, I would only buy knives from a website that you know won't scam you or from a person on here that you trust.

The River vendor isn't perfect. I just got a Eschelon from Amazon listed as new. Scotch taped box, grim and finger prints over the blade. Sticky assist. Definitely not new.

Amazon is also not a paid Bladeforums Dealer, and referencing it is deal-spotting.

Luckily most fake Striders are easy to spot just from pics alone. The fact your brother laid $400 out for that makes my stomach hurt. Bad juju for the seller of that thing. Guy made $385.

Sorry about that! Removed!

Nevermind. Just woke up, changed post views to show newest first last night. Still confused by it.

We know who your favorite brand is so slow down.

Good video. I enjoyed it. Thanks.

Nah my brother bought it, he didn't pay the actual 400 a real SNG would cost, he spent 19 bucks to get it off freaking counterfeit central alibaba

That lockbar cut out is AWESOME!
