is this one of those cheap knives with burgundy scales or is this an original Victorinox? (red plastic polished scales).

I'm unsure what you mean by scales but I have seen this knife at my local outdoor store that sells genuine Swiss Army knives. It is the same quality make and model. My son loves it.

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.

It is 18/10. Good weight, feels good in hand. I purchased Summer 2013. It seems to be holding up nicely. I do have a couple knifes that have developed a couple small black pits but overall good flatware for everyday use.

Its 8cr13mov. Comes ridiculously sharp. I actually bought it for my sister and the fit and finish of it is on par with my benchmades. And sharper than my 940. I couldnt believe how this 40$ knife outpreformed my 200$ knives.

because the brand of the knife is byrd. It is made by spyderco. I have three byrd knives.Great knives, some of the best in the price range.

Yes it's real. It's a older knife they don't make anymore. They make a similar one. I think that's why it's a little cheaper

I believe it is stainless, the knife is quite heavy for it's small package.

I can say I have owned these knives for 10 or more years and never had rust on them. Of course if you use it for everything like I do it does get the occasional grease or grime but I simply clean my multi tool with rubbing alcohol and its like new. If it is a true Victorinox type knife is should be stainless steel. I did purchase a bogus imitation, the handle or shell broke off. Beware of what appear as good deals, I learned my lesson. A Victorinox knife is a bit expensive but it does last for many years. Hope this helps.

It's AUS8 and simply an awesome knife! I've stripped the black finish off the blade and worked on the pivot points and spine lock as well!! I own MANY knives of all manufactures...it's a BAD ASS for sure!!! Hard to go wrong with a Cold Steel as I own several. The Recon's in both sizes and blade styles are all awesome!!! Send me your email if you like and I'll forward pics of the ones I've stripped and slicked up!

No its real and it is clearly made in the USA. I own one from the original batch they made back in the 90s and this new one i bought is exactly the same even the markings . the handle is updates from my old one that has wood scales . And the sheath is leather though not quite built as well it is stained black and my original was stained brown . The leather is not as thick and the sheath is stacked leather and was not folded like the original . the sheath was most likely not made here like my old one was. However for the money it is worth every penny. I bought this new one as a copy of my original to hand to my son to use on his Outdoor adventures. No its real and it is clearly made in the USA.

I have checked it against the ones my mom and grandma have and they are identical in every detail! It is a very good knife! I recommend it to anyone looking for a good all purpose knife!

The blade has an unusual coating; almost looks like a weird sort of 1075 Carbon/Damascus steel thing going on. It definitely is not a black coat, so I suppose it is more of a rustic version, but I guess that would depend on ones version of rustic. It really is a beautiful yet simple looking throwback type of chopping knife. I apologize if my answer seems a bit vague. It's about the best I can answer though. Take care.

the knife pictured is the fallkniven F1 with the thermorun handle, I have one of these and it is full tang and it is exposed at the pommel. I bought this about a year and a half ago and am very pleased. the handle is a bit thin but I have smaller hands so it is not a problem for me. The quality of this knife is second to none and it is vg-10 stainless steel, best of both worlds!

It's D2 - I purchased mine toward the end of last year. All in all, a good knife - I have not had a single issue with it

Honestly, I own several knives worth upwards of $400. I dont really care what the add says, I care how the knife works and feels. I carried this for 5 months in Afghanistan, and it worked great.Is it G10? Maybe (more like probably) is it a great knife? Definitely.

I own the knife and I'm really pleased with it. I'm not an expert but from what I've read those two styles of Steel are virtually the same.if it were me I would trust the buck website over other information. If you buy the knife I'm sure you'll be happy with it I am with mine.

I bought one from them, it shipped fast and didnt have any problems with it. Good knife but if i had to buy another one it woukd be the one without the double ...opener flick things at the bottom of the blade. Its too wide and scratches your hand when you put it in your pocket.
