Is this a real Hubertus leverlock???

[BFORSE]

My wife purchased a Hubertus leverlock from German Knife Shop .com. This is what it looks like on the website:

But what I got looks completely different. The liners aren’t brass, the internal leaf spring Is pinned to the bolster (not removable), the bolsters are not fluted, the top bolster is slanted, there is no hole in the lever, and the etching is lower on the blade:

This is the box it came in; completely different than the website:

Any help would be appreciated guys.

I'm far from being an expert, but, coming from that store it is very likely a genuine Hubertus, although, what they sent you is a lot different than what's depicted in the picture. I would say, if you like the knife keep it, if you don't, send it back on their dime and get the one you really want! If you send it back strictly for a refund, try looking at www.hubertus-solingen.de , since these guys make them, and, they are a reputable company. I like the one you received, especially with the steel liners, but unfortunately I live in Canada and couldn't buy it from you because I'd lose it to Customs. I just checked the number on the box you showed, with the model number at the site I mentioned above, and they match, so you got the correct box, just not the knife that's shown. Best of luck with whatever you decide!

Thank you, I will check out that website.
