The bolster's way too long
And the end cap's way too short
The pins are too far in
On the handles they support.
The jigging on these handles
Match no Case I've seen
And the pattern number's phony
You can tell by the way the digits lean.
The blade has been subjected
To so much grinding that:
An old stamp must have been ground off
Then a new one was attached.
So if imitation
Is the sincerest form of flattery
Why's W.R. rattling in his tomb
And threatening assault and battery?

to no end when someone post a knife here in the Counterfeit Watch forum and all they have to say is, "Another fake."
