Fakes
My son recently passed away and among his things several Benchmade knives were found. I wonder about authenticity. For instance, the pictured "extra" label seems odd. Please help.

Well seeing as there’s Chinese lettering on that label, I’m gonna go with it it’s fake but I haven’t seen the knife, so who knows

Would you please say how you can tell? That would be very helpful to me. I have another bugout - different color - and a few others, including Claymore & Infidel. Would you check those out as well? Maybe my son was collecting fakes? Is there a market for them or should I toss? Thanks!

/|\ My condolences to your family.
While fake Benchmade’s have little aftermarket value as original cost runs mostly $20 to $60, they still can be sharpened & cut.
Because the fakes have ripped off some great designs their better than a lot of gas station knives.

On his phone we find an e-mail from KnivesShipFree. Ring any bells?
I will post a couple more tomorrow. Glad for your help.

I have a hard time telling if a knife is legit too , thats why I only buy from authorized dealers or a trusted member of this forum ......... never ebay

Agreed claymore looks legit

This one came in the mail on Friday (after he passed away). Maybe a replacement for an identical one that doesn't function properly. Box certainly looks bogus - but can the knife be correct?
Thanks.

That box is correct

And the knife?

Looks fine

I mean if I had to guess. If it came in that box it’s possible it’s legit but seeing as you have a ton of other fakes makes me question it. Unless your son found a real one then bought a bunch of fakes.

Yeah ----- I have no idea what was going on there. He was trading knives for pot with a "sales rep" from somewhere but also, apparently, dealing with KnivesShipFree. Go figure. What do you make of the clip? Thanks!
