Is there a rat logo on the side of the blade?

I was wondering the same thing. The photo they chose makes it look like a Chinese counterfeit, since it doesn't have any of the official stamps on the blade.

Yes. There should be the Randall's Adventure Training (triangle type) logo on one side of the blade.

The name Timber Wolf is one on the left side face of the blade. The right side is blank.

I think the image shown is the version with the shortest blade. I have the version with the longest blade (almost twice as long) so it does not look like a Kukri knife.

No "Spydie" logo. Just "byrd" and 8cr13MoV at the butt of the blade and "byrd Cara Cara 2" on the scales.

Yes, it is. There are pictures available online if the blade (with tang) minus the handle.

The blade is stamped USN on one side and KA-BAR OLEAN NY on the other. I've uploaded photos of both sides of the blade showing the stampings. Assuming they are approved for publishing, they should be visible soon.

On the blade it says bear and the geber logo on the handle says BG the clip says geber it's not the mountian symbol it's the new oneIt is very nice knife

Ya it's plainly marked on the blade made in China. Very disappointing. This was nowhere in the description.

The logo stamped into the sheath is as follows: "BUCK KNIVES". And "BUCK" is on the upper line, and "KNIVES" is on the lower line.On the snap is BUCK three times, and represented in a circle.

As stated by MLEC, the blade does have a round in the center for the shaft. That is just, one, bad photo. I have ordered many from Amazon. The other holes at both ends are just wear indicators. The newer hardened blades are the bomb.

I threw away the box - sorry. Knife, scabbard , and decal do not indicate origin of manufacture. Other side of blade has "Böker plus 1048" on the ricasso, opposite the thumb groove side of the blade. Google search turned up http://www.boker.de/us/fixed-blade-knife/boker-plus/tactical-knife/02BO1942.html , if this helps any.

It has a tail rat tang but even when it is not a full tang it is very solid. I bought mine in 2011 and I have used it plenty of times and even when it is not as pretty as it was when it was new (it has scratches in the blade and a couple of nicks on the handle) it is still my favorite knife. I have bought other knives since but after the fever of the new toy goes away they go to the display cabinet and my buck goes back to my field bag.

This particular one is more a collector's item and does have the KBar company logo. I bought one of these back in the 70's from Atlanta Cutlery and it recently got stolen. I ordered another. For $44 it is a very good work knife and does not have the logo, but is of the Kbar design: Ontario 498 Marine Combat Knife (Black)

I purchased mine from Blade Shop. It showed a picture of Shrade imprint but when arrived it had Old Timer imprint. So I would say it depends on which seller you purchase the sheath from.

It is indeed a "rat tail" tang, a fairly substantial one and should be plenty strong as the ka-bar's were for years and years. Fallkniven makes a knife very similar to this and a full tang design where it is exposed at the butt of the handle. I prefer the fallkniven to the srk, but the srk will still be very useful.try a google search for "coldsteel srk tang photo: and you will see the tang. I wouldn't call it "full" but it's not a skinny rat tail either.

Mine is a half serrated and half plain edge blade, as shown in picture. I love this knife.
