does it look exactly like the picture? I have received a different one. Ken Onion is not written on the hand, it's written on the back on the blade??

Confirmed, my blade is printed with the name, not on the hand, BUT the design and feel and functionality of my EDC was not affected and I have been using it everyday since I received it and am still VERY happy with my purchase :)

I ordered two of them and they both look like the picture and that was a month ago

Not quite sure, I looked it up and think it was only the color of the handle. You will not be disappointed by either one of these knives. It is by far the best knife I have every owned. My most favorite knife and I keep it with me in my vehicle always. One of the sharpest knives I've ever seen out of the box. Great knife!

Hello! The knife set was a gift for someone, so I don't have it in hand. However, I do remember that when I received it, it did look exactly as pictured and what I had expected to receive.

That photo shows a tanto blade. The model that I reviewed does not have that feature. I don't know if the Leek Tanto is still in production or not. I have other knives with the tanto style blade and they have their pros and cons. I like the Leek with the standard drop point blade; I find it more practical and also more elegant looking. Hope that helps!

I purchased one and it is not a fake. Selling fakes on Amazon would be a very shprt lived business plan. The BK7 is a good knife.

Funny thing my name is Mike and I am a Lefty too. We live in a righty world my friend.... The knob is only on the side you see in the photo.. Great knife though..!

Sorry man, just looked at the picture myself. This picture has changed since I bought mine, which was a non-serrated and the picture previously showed a non-serrated blade.

I threw away the box - sorry. Knife, scabbard , and decal do not indicate origin of manufacture. Other side of blade has "Bker plus 1048" on the ricasso, opposite the thumb groove side of the blade. Google search turned up http://www.boker.de/us/fixed-blade-knife/boker-plus/tactical-knife/02BO1942.html , if this helps any.

Hi. I'm from Victorinox. There are variations in the mold used by the factory for the handle. The handle is the same though and still made in Switzerland. Could you tell me more about what is different on the blade? They are phasing out the Swiss emblem at the factory, so you will start to see just "Victorinox" on the blade. I believe the item number should still be there too though. Not all 3rd party sellers on amazon are "authorized" sellers, meaning they are not buying their knives directly from us. It is best to buy directly from amazon or an authorized 3rd party seller. Hi. I'm from Victorinox. There are variations in the mold used by the factory for the handle.

I just received mine in the mail last night and it too says 40520 instead of 47520. I was disappointed that there is no Forschner logo/blade and doesn't say Fibrox on the handle. I haven't used it yet. I think I will email Amazon today.

There is no way for me to be 100 % certain. I have other knifes that are imitation (acid etched) and the pattern does not match at the transitions (side to back of blade). I would say that it likely is. The two different colors in the pattern rust at different rates when the oil runs dry. The pattern follows from one edge to the next and from one side of the blade to the next. In any case, the knife is what I was looking for... Good looking, takes and keeps and edge, and functional.

It's being sold by a marketplace dealer, but the stock is being stored and shipped by Amazon. I've bought plenty of high-end knives through Amazon, and never had a problem. The specs are all correct, the model numbers are right, and the price is about where you'd expect; I purchased mine through Amazon.ca, but I'd have no concerns about buying it here. In the slight chance there is a problem, you can always send it back for a full refund.

Although I have not taken this knife apart, once you get it, if you do, you will notice that it seems to be one piece of steel. Think of a Kabaar. I am not sure that the knife you have is the same knife I have. I have seen them (and bought them) before that are not the same. I would use my knife if I had to, but against a bear ? Does your knife have a thumb groove on the blade ? Mine does, first knife I have seen with one. I would not worry about the blade snapping but I have bought replicas like it where I would.

I didn't care whether it was lefty or righty. However the photo below the knife is not positioned properly, either that or they do have a lefty version. According to the the photo it IS a lefty. I am left-handed as well, but I can actually use either hand so it doesn't matter to me. My knife is set up for a right handed person. I suggest you call somebody that can answer your question better than me. Good Luck!

I own two of these wonderful knives. Both have the Shun logo on one side and KAI stamped on the other side of the blade. However the package insert with both knives which gives the use and care instructions, etc has Kershaw printed on the outside. I don't know this for a fact, but I think Shun, KAI and Kershaw are all made by the same knife makers. Nonetheless, it doesn't bother me. I just keep enjoying all the superb, effortless and clean slices I make with this knife in all my steaks and chops. "Don't worry. Be happy," and enjoy this fine blade.

I have one with the number on the blade next to the handle. I don't remember, if the one I bought is the one I currently have. The one I bought through Amazon was recalled because of the sheath, so, I sent it back (maybe it was just the sheath???), and they put some more metal rivets in it or sent me a new sheath??? I had heard that one or more persons had tried to holster the blade upside down and it cut the stitching out of the sheath. Unless there is more than one recall, this is the only one I have heard of. They reinforced the stitched side with the metal rivets, so, you couldn't cut yourself or let the blade drop out and cut your toes off??? I have one with the number on the blade next to the handle.
