40th Anniversary Native ?

$180 shipped from Pakistan. Damascus looks kind of different. Fake?

this may be a typo or not. From discription
"Country/Region of Manufacture: Pakistan"

he is also selling Ti Fluted for fraction of the price. I hate these fake makers and sellers.

The knife in the pictures looks authentic including the Damasteel Thor pattern. The knife looks just like mine except the Damascus pattern is a little different, as they all are. Not sure the counterfeiters would go through the trouble of replicating this particular model. If they did, it's an impeccable copy.

The information listed in the Item Specifics section is obviously wrong and I would question the seller before proceeding. Otherwise, I see nothing about the knife that indicates it's a fake.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!

Maybe not fake. Maybe just a scammer, or stolen goods. ? I'm sure that nothing nefarious ever happens in Pakistan though. :rolleyes:
Time for another :spyder:!

The seller is using pictures that aren't his. Of the three current auctions, the fluted Ti Native is using Knife Center's stock photos, while the 40th anniversary Native looks to be using photos of many different knives, as the Thor pattern varies from blade to blade. His hand also mysteriously changes from white to a much darker skin tone between photos. :rolleyes:

From the zero feedback and too low prices, to the seller location and use of other people's photos, this is definitely a scam.
