The best fake by far

What makes you think all of these knives are fake? Sure there are a couple that are obvious knock offs but I know for a fact most of the Millies you posted are legit.

 

Anyone known of a fake Manix? It's getting up there with the Military in terms of popularity, I would assume some fakes are going to be popping up

 

You did not answer my question. Under what basis do you think these knives are fake? What features and characteristics do you see on them that indicates a fake knife?

 

That G10 looks like it would be as comfortable as the business end of a sharp rasp in one's hand. And the SAL logo...man. "And this logo will gooooooooo HERE!"

 

What gave it away? Pocket clip?

EDIT: Just noticed its a liner lock as well.

 

Do your own research... or don't and go ahead and buy one of those legit militaries

 

Notice on the real one the pointy thing at the front of the choil is pointier, also differences in screw-holes, different torx screws, and the most obvious thing, the jimping, the printing on the box is off, the list of differences can go on and on... this one is obviously fake, but there are alot of fake Millies that even skilled Spyderwhores have trouble catching

Fake:

Real:

 

I didn't even notice the lack of jimping.


I just got a Para II and while I do not think it is a fake after reading these threads it just makes you think. Everything on mine looks as it should, but the one thing I noticed that even gave me a hint of questioning it was the jimping on the choil does not seem to be angled back towards the handle.

I might post a pic here just so you can confirm its legit and make me sleep better at night.

 

Just looked at it again and remembered a few other concerns of mine. The liners both have a little chip in them. One on both sides. I also noticed the liners on the fake ones are only milled in one spot. I noticed mine is milled in two spots on the pocket clip side and once on the other side.

Ah hell. Off to take pictures. Hope you don't mind looking at them for me.

 

I know i'm missing a clip screw. I have a replacement coming.
