Just for your information.

As most of you know, if you have seen any of the knife threads I have posted, I collect Chris Reeve one-piece knives. These knives have been discontinued for quite a while. They are very expensive and are in very high demand. That means there are plenty of fakes on the market, including expensive fakes. On another forum that I participate in, there was a fake alert. I thought I would post the link here as well. Here is the website.

Wholesale - Chris Reeve one piece knife ,skinning knife ,Black ,A2 High Carbon Steel amp; | DHgate.com

The picture in the link is an authentic CR Ubejane Skinner. It looks just like mine. However, this is not the knife you get. I ran across these fakes several months ago on ebay. They look similiar to the original, especially the blade profile. However, they are very black in color, have a gold CR logo, and the grip is totally different. Also, please note that no Chris Reeve knife is made in China.

I just wanted to post this so people would be aware of fakes on the market and wouldn't end up spending a couple of hundred dollars on a piece of crap thinking they are getting the real thing.

Thank you.

I traded a dealer out of a Reeves fake just to be able to show others. He had no idea and thought what a deal! Was very upset when I showed him the difference.

Cheers,
