Chinese and other Asian Countries do very good at copying things to look the same. They are in the counterfitting business.
Recall years ago I at this Gun Show were the AZ Cardinals play, this guy is selling what appearst to be Micro-Tech Utlra-Tech OTF Knives.
Price is like under $100.00 for what should sell for over $300.00 any place, is this a deal I say to myself?
After looking at the Box, Warranty Cards and Knives everything look like the real deal. I wonder over to another vendor who I know sell the real deal. After close look, I returned to the guy who is sell the deals.
Two tells are the release button is not machine, and high quality. It is MIM Metal Injected Molded. The second tell is serial number is in wrong place. Also the best joke was the Counterfits all had the same serial number.
I sure the counterfitters sold some of the fakes, went home with a pocket full of money.
Guess the old saying is true, it it looks too be too good a deal, be careful what you buy.
E-bay is notorious for selling knock offs of thing that are just subpar.
E-bat try to police E-bay but they are no the experts on know about everything that is listed for sale.
