You might consider putting this under the sticky in knives for fakes.

Ganzo makes a few BM copies along with some other makers. They're not hard to find. Cheap and don't look too bad. Of course cheaper materials.

That is one of the best looking copies I have seen. If they were to slap a Benchmade logo on the blade it would be difficult for the average person to tell the difference.

Thanks for the post Joe.

Yep, it's a good one. I posted a pic of this one 2 months ago as well.

It looks almost identical to the real thing when pictured side-to-side.

I honestly don't see how this could be called a "Fake".

It is not being represented as anything but what it is.... a GANZO.

A blatant and outright copy.... YES.

But it can't be considered a "Fake" unless it is represented as the Brand of the knife it is copying.. in my way of thinking anyway. YMMV... Smiler

Can't argue with logic like that Smiler

It was only a matter of time for China to start making exact clones of AXIS, but the future of this notion sucks.

PS IF they would start making quality scale replacements for some models they would be rather popular and more or less welcomed by the knife community, but for their production to be profitable they'd have to produce them in large quantities, there aren't enough buyers to create a market like that IMO
