Yes sir! I did a fancy job on this one by sticking it into the grinding wheel of my chain saw sharpener :d I literally spent less than one minute on this modification (it could use a little polishing

) It really works well!

Oh, before anyone gets too upset for this outrage happening to a Benchmade. I used a fake

Had me fooled for just a second, I did'nt want to believe there is actually a BM lover out there willing to try it but it looks good, nice and clean, you'll have to post a video and show us how it works.

At first glance that knife looks like the real '205 until you compare the two, here's a pic so you can see the details. The fake is on top, BTW.

That is a pretty convincing fake sad to say. I remember someone doing something similar to a 551.

yeah I don't have the nerve to do that to a real 14205. Although I am getting closer since this thing works so well.

the ganzo fake 14205 is the closest looking fake I've ever seen. I guess it isn't technically a fake, since they don't try to put fake Benchmade and HK logos on it, but it is a copy and is stolen.

Thanks Joe for the picture. Laser see Joe's picture for what mine was like before

Hi Mike, these look-alikes are around the net, mainly seen on the big auction site though. I have had one for a week and while close, the quality in hand is very poor compared to the real ticket. Once you get used to the real Benchmade, knowing the differences is easy.

Wait, you guys supported the countrfeiters by buying their knives?
Why?

Speaking for myself; My answer is it had to do with information and research. I had the opportunity to examine someone else's 'Ganzo' HK 14205 look-alike so I could educate myself on what the differences were.

I can tell you whatever the steel is it's very soft and while marked 440C I'll bet it's not.

And it was my first opportunity to get a close look at a clear patent infringement in the Axis copy used on the knife.

The main problem I have is it's such a looker that someone not trained to know the product WOULD buy it at the $$ it sold for(spelled cheap) and not know.

That's my $.02.

Well I always wanted to try to wave a 14205 because it seemed like there was enough steel there to do it, and this gave me the opportunity to see if it would work before ruining a Benchmade. The problem now is what Joe said... this steel is so soft it ground so easily without even heating up. I really don't think it'd go so well on the Benchmade, so I am still worried about trying it.
