The good ole chibenza

Saw this crap at what I thought was a nice and reputable knife store. Marked as Sebenza 31s but obviously China fake with 21 scales on them and way to shiny, and BLACK boxes

The $250 price tag would be a big red flag also.

That would make me question everything else they sell as well. Did you point it out or speak to anyone about it? They have to know they're selling fakes, and if they're okay selling counterfeits of one brand I don't see why it would end there.

I have been soooo close many times at pulling the trigger on a L Tanto Inkosi w. black micarta inlays + silver hardware. Now, I have the opportunity to get a L 21(in very good condition) with the exact same setup.
I know the Sebenza but I have never handled an Inkosi. If possible, can someone post photos of a Sebenza and an inkosi (preferably tantos) next to one another? I would like to see the difference between the blades.

The tanto blades are very similar. Personally I'd take the 21 but that's just because I'm a sucker for 21s and would rather have another one of those than another Inkosi. I don't own either of these (or that Shiro) anymore so I can't do any better than this, but:
