They're Back! - another fake on ebay

Some companies are content to just copy knife designs, but this one flat out claims to be a Chris Reeve knife....

Fake Pacific on Ebay

The sheath looks pretty good, don't you think? :barf:

I did report it, btw.


Edit - What tipped me off initially were the color variations in the micarta (if it is that), then the serrations, then the sheath, then the blade profile, and lastly the lack of any paperwork.

Wow. That is just pathetic. I wonder how often sellers like this are able to rip people off? I mean, to someone who is a CRK owner/fan, that is INSTANTLY recognizable as a fake. I guess there are enought people who don't know better, or have not done their research?? Its also funny that he has a %100 seller rating....

Handle colour and serrations for me.


Other then that I would think it is the real deal.

The sheath, blade color, cutting teeth, handle, grind lines look a bit diffrent

Thanks for pointing this out. As someone who hasn't paid much attention to them in the past, I could easily have fallen for this.
Thanks again.

Ok, this one isn't so easy to peg. I think it is a fake just because the micarta looks "plastic" and the sheath isn't quite right. What do you guys think?

Fake?

Certainly looks fake to me. The blade color is off as well.
