I dont know why.. But this is a beautiful blade, case and honing tool. I was not disappointed with this purchase at all. And BONUS it arrived a month earlier than expected!

I looked at mine and everything matches. Iknow mine is genuine. The serrations on the top and bottom at the rear of the blade are different or nonexistent on fakes. 75 percent sure it is real.

I can't speak of the authenticity. Glencarin glass is a style of glassware. These are indeed Glencarin glasses of great quality. Very solidly made. They are even etched in the bottom "the Glencarin glass". Are they made by Glencarin the company? Not sure. I assume so and the quality has not required me to question it. Plus, the price is right.... How can you go wrong??

Yes it's real. This knife isn't made in the U.S.A. , so it is more economic. However, it is a decent knife made with decent materials. It comes pretty sharp and is a great value. You be hard pressed to find any more "bang-for-your-buck". IMO, even though it has no assisted opening the locking mechanism is better than the Kershaw Blur's liner lock. In a self defense situation you want to have a knife that doesn't fold back and cut you.

Can't swear to it but as a general rule, inexpensive, unmarked Damascus blades come from Pakistan. I have a few and, for the price, they are good. In fact, of the 3 I have, all are better and nicer looking than my Buck Damascus.

These knives are made from forged damascus billet. The pattern is not printed by acid etching, It is not fake damascus acid etched damascus. It is folded several times and forged to obtain hundreds of layers.

It's the standard deal. Mine was legit, I can't see why others would be fake. 200$ is about right, up to 230$ online. The 400$ MSRP is typical for Spyderco, and if you try to buy from their website, or in a bricks-and-mortar store, that's what you'll pay. But any knife-seller online will be in the aforementioned price range. Despite all the concern about fakes, I wouldn't worry about it when you're buying from Amazon directly. Even if it's an Amazon marketplace seller, all you have to do is check their feedback rating; if they've got thousands of transactions and a 95%-or-higher feedback, it'll be fine. A seller that tries to sell fakes will be banned pretty fast. It's the standard deal. Mine was legit, I can't see why others would be fake. 200$ is about right, up to 230$ online.

I believe that it is real Damascus, but we haven't sharpened yet so cannot give you a definitive answer. It's a really nice knife though...know that much! :-)

I believe they are a sort of polymer G-10 look a like. So, no i do not think they are true G-10. Still a great knife though!

I'm not sure if they are forged but don't waste your money. I ordered the set, opened up the box, put all knives awa in caddy. I then started to reister the product and found out that the knives are made in China. I bought them because I thought they were German made and they are not. I bought a REAL Henckels in Macy's you may want to puchase them there.

They are not necessarily forged from the flames of mordor. But they are really good nnives for the price. The steak knives have more of a plastic like handle. While the specialty knives have some type of higher quality composite. Blades haven't rusted. Scissors feel kinda cheap. But overall great for the price.

there are no markings other than the brand,however i own kitchen cutlery of the same brand and they are german made so i hope these clippers are also but i have no way of knowing. they seem to be well made.i hope this helps you out.

Not sure since I am not in familiar with how real they need the weapon to look. If you cover the red tip and don't take close film shots, it has a pretty authentic look. Additionally, it's weight is closer to reality than other practice weapons I have worked with.

While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real. These knives were very expensive when first released. For this reason and possibly others such as a recovering economy, poor marketing strategy, or who knows why, they obviously didn't sell very well. What I do know for sure is that my knife is the real deal. And it was bought recently from this Amazon site. Once again, this is one awesome knife. Your're not going to find this knife for some ridiculously low price. And if you do it will be fake. Like the ones for $55.55 on some Chinese site with over 5,000 in stock. If it sounds to good to be true, well you know the rest. While I am surprised there are still originals available, I do believe the Gerber Command II's from the Amazon site are real.

Bruce: these are cheap Chinese knock offs, hence the peep sight issues (among many others). DO NOT ever use these fakes on a real weapon unless you are ready to reap the consequences.

I ordered these -use them and like the knives. however when I was in Paris in September, I made sure to visit the actual store and was educated that they are a knock off. the actual knives are really exquisite and priced accordingly!

Its probably genuine. The 940 sells for 180 at a lot of stores, so the Amazon price seems reasonable. All the knives I have bought on Amazon were authentic
