That I am unsure of. I would suggest getting in touch with cold steel on that.

Yea it's the real deal brother. Yea there are a lot of fake ones out there but there are no fake ones with the black DLC blade. To be sure I disassembled it and saw the date of manufacture which is only on the real ones

It's the real deal. You'll see the Marine Corps logo on it. They couldn't do that on a commercial version. It fits my AR 15 perfectly. Ontario makes really good Knives and Bayonets. Cheers! Ken

I haven't taken this object apart to examine it, but when I flex the blade and feel the vibrations coming through the grip, it feels like a full-tang and not the rat-tail type. If you visit the Cold Steel website, there are video demonstrations of pretty big guys putting a sword over a high bar, gripping the handle and forte of the blade, and hanging off of the blade. It's very strong. These are functional items, not props or cheesy knock-off swords.

I've ordered 2 Bowies from Amazon (Laredo & Trail Boss) and they are definitely genuine Cold Steel.

I don't know if they are real. I just took a chance, given the price. I have been meaning to take one to a local gun show to see if one of theknifemakers there can show me what to look for.

The blade says Taiwan. The box says Cold Steel makes blades in the USA, Japan and Taiwan. It is an original Cold Steel knife. I have had it with me every day since I got it. It is durable and holds and edge. You can sharpen it with a combination of steels and ceramic rods. It deploys quickly and you can use it for anything from hacking down a small tree, opening letters or cutting threads depending on how coordinated you are. The tri-ad lock is rock solid. It seems large but once you carry it with you for a while you don't even notice it. Here is a decent review of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcOz2VS6VF4&list;=UUzYMTUy7uWCfaoBX0tPJE5A Very happy with this purchase. The blade says Taiwan.

If you look around, it is actually quite common to find this Katana for a much lower price than the manufacturer site. The cold steel site is just MSRP but there is probably so much fat in the price that private retailers can sell it much cheaper.

No idea,email Cold Steel, they do respond to their email's or at least they have mine. Have a good one.

It looks to be the same, but that would be a question for the seller. I can tell you the Cold Steel Spartan is an excellent knife.

My Cold Steel is O1 tool steel. I don't know how similar they are. However anything can be broken with enough abuse. I think Cold Steel would warranty it unless it appeared intentional.

I have no idea. I have never seen a fällkniven counterfeits. I guess if you manage to find one, it is more unic and valuable than the original:-) if you get a fällkniven knife, check on the back of the blade if you can see the carbon steel laminated into the blade. I guess that is to costly to imitate.
