What is this? Possible fake? Prototype?

[Jack of All Blades]

On a popular auction site, there’s what resembles a forsaken mistress with a pretty big spike on the end, bolted handles.
Busse Custom shop logo and “Busse” logo on the other side?
Not much info on the knife, if anyone can confirm what this is. I’ve never seen fake busse logos. I doubt it’s a prototype of some kind but I just wanted to get some others opinions too.

Interesting that it has the Busse logo on one side and the Custom Shop on the other. I don't think I've seen that before.

I'm no expert, but that, the shininess, and the handle attachment suggest to me that it didn't come out of Wauseon.

Also, the blade looks to be about 9 inches (23cm), which is too short for a Forsaken Mistress by about 3 inches.

Everything about this knife seams a little off. The logos. The custom shop logo is turned sideways. The Busse logo on the wrong side. The talon holes look different. The finish is unlike any I’ve seen from Busse. The smooth handle with torx is obviously been altered. I can’t say for sure if it’s fake. But everything about it does seam off to me.

The first talon hole seems to extend farther out past the blade by a good margin. Doesn’t look like a blatant fake but definitely seems off. If it’s a confirmed fake I’m reporting it, hopefully there can be some kind of cease and desist thing or something done for the use of the logos.

Oh and I forgot to add it’s shipping from Japan.

absolute fake.

Dave Brown is correct. Fake AF. So many inconsistencies.
I would literally have to hear Jerry or Garth on the phone or in person tell me it's legit to believe anything otherwise...

Fake!

That's a lot of work to make a fake!

It is gone!

Thanks for the heads up!
