They did a dam good job on that one
Scary! I know. Got to be careful out there.
eBay is like 50% knockoff Bugouts from what I can tell. One thing you didn’t point out and a dead-giveaway- the model number on the fakes is often or always just “535”. The 535 should only be the basic blue, anything else should be 535-something. Great video, I hate all the fakes out there. And reporting them to eBay like I do constantly is often fruitless as they don’t seem to care about the authenticity. It’s a damn shame.
Thank you for this R2! Great point here. Thank you for reporting these as well.
That's true!
Good to know! Nice video man 👍
Thanks! 👍
Thank you! I must naive, as it never occurred to me there would be imposters amongst the genuine! If it weren’t for your vid, I could’ve easily made the same mistake! Makes me wonder about Amazon now!!
Got a fake one, but I like it any anyhow for very light tasks.
Very sorry to hear about the scam blade some thief sold you, but the blame and shame is all his and, he will receive what’s coming to him for his crimes. The better information is to know where to buy authentic products rather than attempt to decipher a fake from an original. Knowing what to look for in an original is really all that matters.
Good thing is that you can order directly from benchmade and or from reputable online dealer
That's exactly right, Greg!
I wish I had been more careful and had this knowledge before buying this on eBay... However, I hope to help others be aware of these copies out there, and purchase wisely.
*** I forgot to mention, I reported this fake to the seller, and he gave me my full refund!
The darker OD green on the clone looks better.
Why not get your money back from eBay. I just ordered a bugout carbon fiber. As soon as i get it if its fake i will contact eBay. They should definitely cover that
Good point! I contacted the seller first and told him i was reporting him to EBAY if i didn't get a full refund, he immediately did!
I could tell which was fake before the boxes were even opened. For anyone that couldn't catch from just the box then the second the box is opened its IMMEDIATELY obvious. Both the way the booklet is folded as well as the foam inside. Counterfeit companies simply can not mimic the internal foam cutout and style. If you ever come across a fake with the proper protective foam then someone has taken the real knife out and switched it with a fake.
Agreed! The hard think is IF someone doesn't know exactly what to look for. Whether that be their first Benchmade, or the pictures make it look like the real deal. People can and do switch the boxes with a real one, so knowing what to look for at eh actual knife is important. hanks for the comment. Cheers.
I won't ever could buy a knife off Ebay. I get it people have budgets but come on end of the day your buying a knife just buy it brand knew off a reputable website.
Yeah a lesson hard learned.... thankfully I got a refund, but you are right!
who cares for the steel used for the blade when the lock and scales are not sturdy enough for anything serious. I only cut paper boxes with my bugouts anyway. but I am also in EU and do not see the point of importing an overpriced knife from US if I can get something like a Kizer Gemini for half the price that is much sturdier
I believe the steel is super important if cuttability, edge retention, longevity, etc. matters to the end user. I'd agree that it is not the sturdiest EDC knife, but its lightweight feel is super nice for normal UDC (urban day carry) use. My Benchmade Griptilian, or a solid fixed blade would be much better for serious outdoor application.. Yes, I think the price is too high also, it should be $100-125 US range in my mind. Overall a great construction, but I'd be interested in stronger metal (aluminum) OD scales perhaps... Cheers!
I'm glad that you like Kizer knives, I love mine as well. However, I think that you have made a great argument in favor of the Bugout. While cutting "paper boxes" the edge geometry and blade steel are of great importance for efficient slicing and the lock and scales also are standing up to the task. Stay sharp my friend!
Good word!@@jimmiecrowe520
if you say to yourself, oh thats a good price for a benchmade, its fake
Good point!
On the outside of the box of the fake Benchmade you will find the sticker is usually shiny, there are often discrepancies in the data such as no manufacture date, incorrect model number, etc. Always check out the font on the lettering on the outside of the box. Most obviously the “C” in Benchmade. It will be completely round and real ones have “flats” on the left side of the “C”.
Most blatantly will be the T9 torx on the pivot screw. Benchmade is always a T10. If anyone looks at the knives in this video it will be quite obvious. I cannot think of anything else that was not covered in this fine video.
Are you filming in the dark or just using a filter? Your video is too dark.
Inzide the sides of the box are a giveaway too
Well i would never buy a knive on ebay or Amazon.just won't.
