ID'ing A Genuine Kamui Tip

[Kickin' Chicken]

I may have recently received a knockoff kamui black tip and I'm wondering what identifying characteristics there might be to distinguish the real ones from poss fakes.

all I'm seeing on this black tip is "GLUE" written in silver on the back side.

thx,

The logo should be holographic if it is new. And if it is plain black on one side and just 'glue' on the other, that is questionable. I would show it to John Bertone and see if he ever made those. I don't recall seeing them.

Spotting Fake Kamui Tips

That should answer your questions. You can always call Kamui USA directly and have them place you in contact with an authorized installer or dealer in your local area(if there is one).

You should throw it in the garbage and put on a Le Pro, Sniper or a Tiger tip. Kamui tips are just a waste of money :yes:
