I can not tell if photo shop was used to get rid of the buck stamp on the blade, or if this is a "buck" wink wink nudge nudge. Is it real buck or fake?

No, it is a real Buck knife made by Buck in the good old USA.It is a new limited issue of the old discontinued Frontiersman. The workmanship is equal to the original. The blade shape and grind are slightly different from my original pre 1985 Frontiersman. My new Frontiersman is Buck date coded 2012.

The knife I got is 100% BUCK without doubt. All of the markings: BUCK, 124 D, U.S.A., are on the right side of the blade, the left side is smooth as in the picture. If you are buying directly from AMAZON, I really would not worry - they have an excellent return policy (but you won't need it). Best Wishes.............Art (Retired Law Enforcement)

No its real and it is clearly made in the USA. I own one from the original batch they made back in the 90s and this new one i bought is exactly the same even the markings . the handle is updates from my old one that has wood scales . And the sheath is leather though not quite built as well it is stained black and my original was stained brown . The leather is not as thick and the sheath is stacked leather and was not folded like the original . the sheath was most likely not made here like my old one was. However for the money it is worth every penny. I bought this new one as a copy of my original to hand to my son to use on his Outdoor adventures. No its real and it is clearly made in the USA.

No its real, nice collector knife, comes with a special box different that other high end bucks, not just the plain yellow box, its a two piece that lifts off. I like the knife

This is definitely the Buck Frontiersman knife. It is a limited edition knife and is definitely worth the money. I does have the Buck logo engraved on the blade. The order number is 0124BKSLE-B. You won't be sorry buying this knife, it is a keeper.

It is good to be skeptical about this. I purchased one that was labeled Canon but was really a fake through a third-party retailer on Amazon. Fortunately, Amazon took it back. I'd like to think Amazon is only selling genuine merchandise but I cannot tell you about this particular one. Fortunately you can return it if you have any concerns. When you get it, take a good look at the front and back of the battery and it should be obvious if it is a fake but they are getting better. Sorry I can't be of more help.

It's impossible to say when you're dealing with the Internetj, but you already know that. Just make sure you can return it if it's fake. Regarding the price, it's not too low. I paid about $179 for mine at a local gun shop a few years ago, so $169 is about right. Benchmade has been making the 940 for 10 years, so I wouldn't expect to pay MSRP anywhere. If it's a fake, it's not because of the price.

It appears genuine to my untrained eye. Benchmade packaging, warranty documents, etc. I can tell you - this blade is sharp. I handled it without 100% attention for a moment and my right thumb is less some skin.

There is what looks like a serial number printed, not etched, on the blade. I did purchase multiple knives through different orders, and the number remains the same. Therefore, what it intended to look like a serial number is not actually a serial number. In spite of this, I'm quite pleased with the knife.

Micah E. yes it's a real damascus blade! I purchase two of these knives as gifts for my family members who are outdoorsmen. The knives look just like the pictures. They are beautiful knives. I myself would not use them for hunting but my family members have, they say love them! They always tell me thanks for the knives.

It is, and when you get it all the proper markings will be in the correct places. I think it's just a ripped image of the knife. But all in all its a good knife has replace my buck folder as my new edc. Great ergonomics, great fit n finnish, good steel

It appears to be and was in a Nikon bag but suppose it could be counterfeit. It fits well and works good and I am happy with it.

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

Mine was real. They have a stamp on the bottom if real. I looked into it before I bought mine.

Can you please explain what you mean? In what way is this and how do you know it is counterfeit? I'm not being snarky, I'm really asking.

Both the stamp and the gold lettering are real Ka-bar Becker knives. They no longer stamp the knives and have switched to the laser engraving.

Did I get a fake? I bought it on Amazon and the paint/metal definitely chips. After a year or so almost every "tooth" has chips that are missing. I can also see the silver metal where the edges on each tooth is now gone. It must have gone somewhere...

It's extremely difficult to tell if you've never held any genuine grip made by Nikon. I knew right away by the weight; counterfeits will be very light, because they are made with cheap plastic, not magnesium alloy. Also, if there's a gap between the grip and the body of the camera, that's a sign it might be a counterfeit. Lastly, and the easiest "give away" would be the front and back shutter/aperture dials on the grip should be made of a rubber and have a grip. If you can move the dial easily, you don't hear clicks, or they don't have a grip on your finger, it's most likely a counterfeit. Hope this helps!

I got a fake sold by Broder Scope, fulfilled by Amazon. What I got: Plain Brown boxSmooth glass containerNo lid for hopperGrinder gears look like white plasticCheap paint brush thingReturned to Amazon and I got full refund. I am going to purchase the one sold directly by Amazon now that I see it its only a dollar and change more. Will be worth it to get the real item and save me the hassle of having to deal with returning, getting refunded, reordering, and waiting for shipping again.
