How can I spot a fake Aitor Oso Blanco or Negro? I keep seeing them on ebay, they look sweet, and I under stand the steel performs well, but I also understand copies can look like the real thing. Help!
 
I don't think there are many fakes in this knife..they are cheap so don't be fooled by that. The rarer one is the Cuchillo De something or rather which was issued to the Spanish marines. I sold one on ebay for $180USD a while ago and it is in demand. The original ones were made from better steel 440 vanadium thing which is equivalent to 440c. The newer ones (just recently re-released) are made of cheaper 420 steel or something similar.
