Another one from the fudge factory.
Another one from the fudge factory.
Wrong frame, wrong dog's head shield, wrong jigging, wrong bolsters. Looks like stainless steel. Looks new because it is new.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
Wayne you have a good eye and a lot of knowledge on knives. I appreciate posts like this that picture and explain the issues with a knife. It helps dolts like me learn a little more.

This is not the first one of these I have seen. KA-BAR never did make a pattern like that, a shame some folks are bidding away their cash on it.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
Could that knife have started out looking something like this ?

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
Thanks here, too. I believe I've recently read other critical comments regarding that seller. Several months ago I bought & immediately returned one knife from that seller, so I'm a bit cautious myself.
How about an unabashed plug for the AAPK stores? I don't see that kind of thing here.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
I don't know where this seller is getting his items from. He recently had a slew of really great part knives including switchblades that went for big $. He also recently sold a lot of Case Classic knives with issues. He must have hit a treasure trove or warehouse of knives and parts that were accumulated for years. Look at his completed listings. Amongst the junk are some very desirable items.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
I personally wouldn't bid on a good/real knife from a seller that regularly sells fakes.This seller is at or near the top of that list.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
Make that 3.
I've seen a few nice legitimate knives mixed in with the junk but I just shake my head and pass them by. There's a couple of other sellers in this same category. I won't buy from them either.

Another grateful dolt here! The Counterfeit Watch forum has become the first thing I check when I visit AAPK.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
Greg, you are usually right on, on these faked knives. I know nothing about Stainless Cutlery Co New York, but the cut out seemed to line up with the nail nick to me. Also the knife looked good. I usually can spot fakes from across the room. I am probably wrong, hope the guys will check this one out.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
You may be right Harold. At first glance I didn't even see that nail nick but after magnification I see it now. My failing eyes have gotten me in trouble again. Stainless Cutlery Co. was a Camillus Co. So I would expect that to be a Camillus pattern but I don't recall amuskrat with square bolsters. Perhaps someone will e lighten me.stockman wrote:Greg, you are usually right on, on these faked knives.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
OK from the same seller. What is the difference between a costume knife and a counterfeit knife?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/BEAUTIFUL-1940 ... SwWN5cQj44
OK at least it's a straight X, but not much else straight here - I think.

A costume knife is one you can take trick or treating. Junk in other words.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
Apparently a costume knife is one that is masquerading as something it’s not.

Re: Another one from the fudge factory.
I thought I remembered seeing this knife. It sold on Jan. 9,2019 for $56.95 and had a crack in the scale . Maybe he just repaired it. Still not certain it's authentic though.stockman wrote:Greg, you are usually right on, on these faked knives.
