    Fake I believe, one thing is the sheath shouldn't have a lip on the opening, like this one does.
    Blade shape is also off, sorry.

    No problem, it's an easy tell for fake HJ knives, snap should also have design on face.
    Here is mine, for comparison, it has a rare motto, but it shows you overall shape etc.

    The checkered pattern on the grip should not be a perfect fit for the HJ insignia. Look at a few others, you will see what I mean.

    I'm sorry to have to say that an acquaintance of mine who is a well respected high end gun collector picked up a clone of this example a while back in a trade (minus the aging faked or otherwise). A collector with at least 20 or more years in specializing in TR items, it fooled him because he lacked the experience with the faking of blades that has existed even before Atwood in the 1960's. Back then before the Internet, when collectors were at the mercy of some of the so-called "expert" authors/dealers who may or may not have had their own financial interests in mind when writing about and/or selling TR artifacts.

    The game-changer of course being the Internet and high resolution imaging (much better than books IMO). And of course forums like this one . A place where all you have to do is ask for some input (preferably before money changes hands). Best Regards, Fred

    Thanks Fred, I collect and bought some nice things in my life. Watches, car's , movie poster's etc. And would say am very good at it . This new hobby I picked up , is a whole different animal in my opinion . Not going to get me down as I learned a valuable lesson here, and hope to continue on it..

    The "MZ" code instead of "M7" is a strange mistake the maker fell for, though perhaps deliberate so to make clear it was a reproduction. As always knowledge is power.

    Or is it a scratch that makes it look like a "Z" instead of a "7"?

    Koisokok: Do not despair...There is hardly anyone here that hasn't had a draw full of mistakes. You learn pretty quickly though after you've been burned a few times.

    This is my hall of shame. Do the math...LoL...almost all of these are high ticket purchases!

    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
