I think they will have a very hard time faking crossgrain. To me it seems impossible to make it look like real crossgrain but maybe I'm being too optimistic. When someone finds examples of faked crossgrain, please post them here so we can all compare it with the real deal!

Here is a very decent and recent SA dagger reproduction

Hi Danny,by dr73
may i bring this blade, to your attention. How do you like the cross grain?
Regards,
Gerd
Hi Gerd, thanks for posting this blade. The crossgrain in the indicated area looks quite convincing. Is it possible to show more pictures of this blade? Especially a picture that shows the crossgrain on the entire lenght of the blade?
Danny
Here's an example of the pictures I'm referring to. Of course this is a real one
Sorry Danny,
this is the only shot from the entire blade.

I would say that crossgraining is fairly easy to fake with the right tools and know how. I know this because I do it as a service to refurbish customers modern knives (nothing TR related). Not trying to be rude just saying don't put all your pennies in the crossgrain basket.
Scarey berries! lol From what I can see in the pic, while the dagger looks convincing the fittings on the scabbard are blaaah.... Thanks for keeping us on the up and up Larry!
Hi Gerd..is that supposed to be a Herder blade?

No Larry,
