now compare serrations, primary grind, markings, stop pin screws, relief grind in the G10 for your thumb, thumb ramp on the blade, lock, whatever else you may notice

I forgot to get a shot of how the liner lock extends past the G10. EDIT again-nvm, you can see it in the pic of it clip side, closed.
 
The emblem is in a different position as well. Possibly due to the swedge differences. What's going on here?

Now that I look again the emblems are different. There are numbers below the USA.
 
Yes, the one I have says 910. Also note that the butterfly has no antennae. On the other side, the patent for the modified linerlock is missing. Of course, this knife does not have BM's patented lock.
 
I thought I saw a fake on the bay. Serrations on the wrong side, holes for tip up carry, and the tip grind seemed off.

Is this a similiar item?
 
There's not restricted use "R" by the bottom right of the butterfly. I have little experience in these matters, but it looks fake to me. Where did you get that?
 
The serrations are strange,similar to cheap import knife serrations;theres no grooves in them,& they are usually higher than the profile of the plain part of the edge.
 
The butterfly on my 710HS has no antennae, and I have seen pictures of other BMs with antenna-less butterflies.

Mine:

Others seen on random sites:

Even the pictures on the Benchmade website don't have antennae.

I don't know why the emblems are different, but I don't think the emblem is fake. The other things like the grinds are a little strange though. I find the grind where the edge starts to be very odd too, since I haven't really seen any Benchmades that don't have the primary grind extend all the way (or nearly all the way) to the handle. The G10 also doesn't look like the same texture and shinyness, but that could just be the quality of the photos.
 
BM changed the emblem. It's really just a guess on my part, but the 910 in 154CM should have the old emblem with antennae. Much like I believe the clip should not have BENCHMADE on it for this variant of the knife.

Also, USSR is correct about the missing symbol of the registered trademark on the butterfly; and even if the 154CM Stryker does come with clips that have BM printed on them, this font is different than the one on my Griptilian.

The G10 did immediately feel very different to what I am accustomed to from BM. You are right, it is too smooth and dull. If I had a better camera, I could show it.
 
Umm, no, that should be genuine. It has the proper grind, construction, serrations, and BM symbol. Please compare it to other shots of the Stryker online.
 
Then what's with the huge R on yours that seems non-existent on the others? Maybe they do use 2 emblems if not maybe more. I don't own a Stryker but my Osborne has no antennae and numbers below the USA. The R is barely visible.

I don't understand. The one I have is featured in the pics in the first post. the link is to the largest Stryker pic I could find on google image search, but it matches all other images found. There is no R on my knife.
 
Edited, brainfart - the clip is correct. I was upside down.

On the reverse side there's a long patent number as well.

I thought your's was the link pic. So they are both real Benchmades or not? I'm confused now, LOL.
 
The firts post has pics of the Stryker I possess, which is counterfeit. The link pic, that you posted, is of a genuine (or at least matches all other pics I found online)

The USA is also in the wrong place and font on my 910. The spots on the wings should be solid on the butterfly without antennae, and open with, compare ehhh's photos with the link. Now you can see that mine is a combination, with other errors.

One of the most obvious though is the grind. Notice what ehhh said, and look at the grinds of the 'good' 910, the 710, the H&K, and the Gravitator where it runs all the way to the handle, and gently curves. Now see how in the first pics my kinfe has a completely different grind.
 
Thats what I originally thought, as well as the serrations looked off but then someone said the were higher on the fake. The serrations on the pic I posted look higher off the grindline than the others although they looked like the correct type of serrations. I think I'm caught up now. :foot: :D
 
Can I post a link to this thread there? My BM account got deleted a long time ago. I hardly ever posted there and it was probably trashed for lack of use.

And I'll get that package out to you soon, I'm waiting on another one to come in first.
