How do I know...

[Bd Murdock]

Fairly new to the brand, thought I'd start easy. Found a Tenacious combo blade, listed as new and S35VN for $77.00 on ebay.
How will I know if it's genuine short of driving to Golden to ask?

Hard to say without seeing the listing or pictures of the knife.

National Knives is legit, an outstanding dealer, and has it for $69.50. I would buy it there and save yourself at least $7 and any worrying about if it's real or not.

+1 for National Knives!

[Danke]

Well if you can drive to Golden why not just get one there?

+1 for National
-10 for eBay. It's like roaming through the bazaar at midnight in some third world country. Keep one hand on your wallet, and your head on a swivel.

+1 to all...I'm 45 minutes from the outlet store. I've had many blades sharpened there. When it arrives I'll take it and ask them the question...and maybe pick up more steel. The seconds sale is this next Saturday...probably shouldn't go then.
