I would be the first to admit that I am no expert on the distinguishing acid etched blades from actual damascus blades.How do we know your's are real?

I don't know if they are real. I just took a chance, given the price. I have been meaning to take one to a local gun show to see if one of theknifemakers there can show me what to look for.

I bought one of these blades and let me tell you this knife has done everything I have asked of it and more. And it has retained it's edge like a dream.

Real damascus blades are acid etched too. The different steels react differently to the acid, leaving the pattern. I would assume the depth of etching would be less superficial in real damascus however.

They are real Damascus however the quality is greatly lacking. The grind on the blade was so bad that it appeared crooked.

I believe that it is real Damascus, but we haven't sharpened yet so cannot give you a definitive answer. It's a really nice knife though...know that much! :-)

I purchased 10 of them and as far as I can tell all real. Imported from another country? I am on the Leatherman facebook and the discussions there indicate no Leatherman knife is imported, the rep on FB stated all knives are made and assembled in OR, USA. They were sent to me from A USA company. I hope this is helpful.

These knives are made from forged damascus billet. The pattern is not printed by acid etching, It is not fake damascus acid etched damascus. It is folded several times and forged to obtain hundreds of layers.

As I am not a professional, I really don't know if these are authentic but I do know that they work better than any flat iron I have ever owned before this one. I too asked this question of several people when I made the purchase and received generally positive responses upon inspection.

Sorry - there is not any imprint on the actual knives and I no longer have the packaging. I can confirm that I'm completely happy with the knives.

I believe they are a sort of polymer G-10 look a like. So, no i do not think they are true G-10. Still a great knife though!

I think I've tried to make note of this a few times, and my answer seems to get "lost". I ordered what you see in the picture, and got a genuine Morakniv... just not the one in the picture. I got http://www.moraofsweden.se/20.0.0.0/1081/cache/1081_0b6cb247adb4d39f529e0014827b64ca.jpg. Not what I ordered, but I didn't hate it enough to return it.

they formerly were american made... A GOOD PRODUCT,,, i have one of the imports,, i am reserving judgement on them... they must have to meet the schrade standards,, but with the stainless steel blades,, i am not sure... the blades are not as stiff an formerly a definite minus.. a thicker blade could be used better for heavy cutting.and i do prefer the highcarbon steel for taking an edge

I have no idea. I have never seen a fällkniven counterfeits. I guess if you manage to find one, it is more unic and valuable than the original:-) if you get a fällkniven knife, check on the back of the blade if you can see the carbon steel laminated into the blade. I guess that is to costly to imitate.

Nope! I got mine a while back and now for certain (Because I've tested them many times.) know that these are NOT Fake. :D

There is what looks like a serial number printed, not etched, on the blade. I did purchase multiple knives through different orders, and the number remains the same. Therefore, what it intended to look like a serial number is not actually a serial number. In spite of this, I'm quite pleased with the knife.

Ditto on his measurements. Trust me, the straight portion looks and feels like more edge than it actually is. The serrations are of a variety that can be resharpened if you're conscientious of using then frequently.

Bruce: these are cheap Chinese knock offs, hence the peep sight issues (among many others). DO NOT ever use these fakes on a real weapon unless you are ready to reap the consequences.

I bought the same one and it came with a box from fallkniven, instructions, as well as all the markings...it's real.

NO! It is not a knock off,Ka-Bar/Becker has started printing the names on the blades instead of stamping them into the metal! Why I don't know but it will make the stamped blade models worth more in the future, I hope this helps PHIL.
