Something else that I think this forum does a very good job of, something that I haven't seen addressed at other websites, recording and sharing info on counterfeits like this:
The tang stamp on that particular knife says SCHRADE / HANDMADE, indicating it's a Chinese import. Instead of a "100th Anniversary" shield, it should say "Two-Week Anniversary."I saw one of these on ebay today. Since I'm pretty new at this, how do do tell this isn't legit? What gives it away?
