Dear Members,
We have recently become aware of a new wave of counterfeit Emerson Knives. The counterfeiters have definitely upped their game and are now using the same hardware (screws, etc.) the same logoing (including our patent #'s), our boxes, and our guarantees. And, they are copying additional models now.
We are in the process of securing some of these so we can take them apart to point out the differences and the ways to tell one of these new fake Emersons from a real one.
As I've stated these are highly accurate in appearance to the real knives so be aware that the price of these will be higher to mask the obvious low price, "red flag". Be aware that we sell very few, restricted models, to distributors so buying a discounted Emerson off of any E-Bay look alike website is almost a guarantee that it is fake. In fact, be very careful about the ones on E-Bay also.
My recommendation is that you buy Emersons only from dealers that you already know and trust or one of the Emerson Prestige Dealers that has been vetted by us.
We will update you as more information becomes available.
Best Regards,
Ernest R. Emerson
P.S. They are copying almost every other brand of knives and are using their names, patents, and logos also.
