No, that are not photos of real SAKs, those are the knock offs PriceAngels sells. We had a topic about them a while back.

Not quite, eBay *will* do something if you buy it, and then make a claim that they shipped you a counterfeit product and make a claim through Paypal.

But an auction?  Good luck.  The only time I've ever successfully had an auction pulled was when someone re-used pictures that I'd taken under contract for another seller.  Still had my watermark on it as well.  Even manufacturers have had a helluva time removing counterfeits of their goods.

I sent a message to the seller asking what country this knife was manufactured.Here is the answer as if we didn't know.At least I got an honest answer.

This knife is made in China

Best Regards

You are right. But the other ones are fake.

This reminds me of the latest Top Gear episode with the fake BMW M5, Smart ForTwo, etc. :)
