I don't see a Nalgene logo in the picture. Is this the actual Nalgene-branded stainless bottle or just some cheap knockoff passing off as one?

At the time that I bought this bottle, it was made by guyot designs. They have sense changes the title of the product to nalgene, same feedback comments and image from when I bought it, different name. As far as being "nalgene branded" vs a "cheap knockoff", if its a guyot design, it's the real deal, if its nalgene, it's a knockoff. The quality stainless steal bottle that bushmen rave about is made by guyot designs, not nalgene.Edit: apparently guyot designs isn't manufacturing this bottle anymore, and nalgene took their place. From what I can tell, it's the same bottle, but re branded. Not sure if its the same quality, only time will tell At the time that I bought this bottle, it was made by guyot designs.

This was manufactured by Nalgene. They're no longer in production, and that might be why the price has shot up. I've had one for a while now and still use it as my primary container. The bottom is pretty hammered, but no leaks.

It does not have a Nalgene logo on it. They use the same threading as a Nalgene bottle and has almost the same size. I will tell you, this is no cheap knockoff. It does have thick steel and I use it for camping to boil water in. If you use it for cooking, just remove the cord and cap though. Let me know if you have any more questions.

This is the genuine article. Nalgene doesn't make stainless bottles. Nalgne buys them from Guyot Designs then re-sells them. The early bottles, like this one, bear only a "Guyot Designs" logo, and have no "Nalgene" branding to be found. The newer bottles, with the curved side, say "Nalgene by Guyot Design".

It is not a Nalgene. But, it is by no means cheap...it is very solid. I've dropped mine several times on the asphalt, took it hiking several times and it still looks mostly new. I love this bottle! I got it because I wanted something I could throw on a fire if I needed to purify water and this bottle is definitely up to the challenge.

It is the guyot desinigns, made in china. I use it for camping, I remove bake-lite top and it works well over fire to heat water for food. Hope this helps.

This is not a knockoff. It is the name brand and is amazing. I would purchase it again. It works so good. I leave it on the counter so it is handy to use.

Yeah, this is real. Interesting. I've only seen bottles that look like these in the photo -- online or at my stylist's.

I'm not sure. It looks like the exact same bottle that I purchase at Dillard's. Smells the same. Works the same.

It may be a factory reject or it may be a fake. Regardless, somethings not right. Ask for a refund from Amazon. I did and they gave me my money back. I compared bottle I receives from Amazon to a bottle from Nordstrom and the 'Amazon' bottle doesn't smell same.

I just got this one and it is not the name brand one. I have a name brand one and it has the brand name on the bottom.

No it's not even the real brand!!! It's a fake lifeproof using the life proof box to make people want it. And it doesn't even work!! Thank god I tested it first because if I wouldn't have I would have gotten water damage!!

As far as I know Klean Kanteen does not have that bottle so I really cannot answer the question. At least I could not find it on their site. Sorry.

Not that I see. Just began this new bottle today. But brought from amazon before, just not sure if it was same seller. I have not had that problem, and I have been buying this from amazon for years.

I was looking around for that, too. I actually ended up getting the Thermos 10-oz. "Thermos Flower Food Jar - Purple (10 oz.)" (there are also "fashion" and "lava" designs) because the cap was stainless steel...though only on the outside, as it turned out. All the food jars I've been able to actually examine in person have plastic on the inside of the lid, with plastic threads for the screw-top and sometimes a kind of silicone-type O-ring as well. Having read a lot of mixed and poor reviews for stainless-steel caps on water bottles, I suspect it's pretty hard to get a good, easy-closing seal with stainless steel on stainless steel....

Does that drinking bottle accept a Nalgene cap? If so, this should fit. I love this cap and highly recommend it!!

I was wondering this myself as there is no image of the back of the bottle on Amazon, nor is it on their website. I went ahead and emailed the contact on their website and I will post the answer here when I get a reply. I've learned not to "just take a company's word for it." I dislike when an Amazon product only shows the front of the product :-/

It is the actual real one. I am at work so I can't take a pic for you. I was skeptical about it because it has a pink top on the pic. The actual bottle has the clear top when you receive it.

It is not an imitation, black and decker have changed their logo.http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_logo_identity_and_packaging_for_blackdecker_by_lippincott.php#.VXcyWs9Viis

I honestly haven't gotten a chance to test mine, yet. it's been on the shelf since i got it in january. i'm getting ready to go into the woods this weekend though! i will say, i'm pretty sure this is stainless. the pack and the canteen are heavy duty. without the pack, this thing feels heavier and sturdier than alumium, i just haven't put it in a fire, yet. i am pleased with mine, and glad i am, because yes.....$40 for a canteen...that thing better actually be stainless steel. it is. order with confidence on this product.

I am guessing since it is a nalgene product and BPA free that it is. I hand wash my gear so I really don't put my stuff in a dishwasher but it has a dense enough abs style plastic that if you did I wouldn't be concerned.
