Its not much of a counterfeit with no bears on the knife. Would you call a $20 bill counterfeit if it sort of looked like a real $20 bill but you could tell it was cheaply made and there were no labels of USA or denomination on it. Its more of a knockoff. They call it a neon but not a shirogorov but a Jufule. So there is no attempt to fool anyone. You would have to be an idiot to be fooled by one of these. There are clones sold with the bears and sold as shirogorovs. That would bother me. This is more like an Armani suite that I would like but could never afford. But the clothing shop down the street sells a suite that looks just like it, but not quite as good and has no armani labels, at less than 1/10 the cost. Is it bad that I buy that suit or that it is sold?
