need help. is this real or fake? extreme ratio fans

[spartan45]

was looking at this website. i believe canadian and couldn't believe the price on a extreme ratio nemesis. if you notice they block out the trademarkings/brand name. doing so because not an authorised dealer or is this a fake? i've been comparing other pics of the real deal with this one and if it is a fake i'm stumped.

hopefully someone will clear this up for me.

thanks all

The pictures look like the real deal to me. Everything is corresponding with the real one, the letters, the screws, the grinds, the backspacer.

But the description is weird, it isn't a 440C blade, the real is made of N690.

[rudechuck]

I agree the picture is real, but I doubt you will get what's in the picture. More likely, you'll get something like this (http://cgi.ebay.ca/Nemes-midium-folding-knife-backlock-1pc_W0QQitemZ170392006717QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Def aultDomain_0?hash=item27ac27b03d). Probably not even 440C, they just pulled that out of their asses just like the picture.

It doesnt looks real to me, comparing to my MPC and RAO by ER details.
There is a fuck-up in the specs though. 440c in the specs and on the blade N690 wich is correct. Also the upper blade side should be EXTREMA RATIO and not EXTREM, its a bad photoshop job. They make me doubt wether the seller is to be trusted.:madfacedevil:

One more important detail is the nummer laser printed on the end of the back near the lock-up. It is 0766 wich means that this one comes from a series made before 2005. ER pulled them back from production cause they gave to many problems with the lock-up, it simply was not relieable.

Series after that time are marked with a "C" after the numbers.
So beware of them is my advice!

Consider the unmarked box also.

i would forward the website to Extrema, and have them take a look. if it's a fake, they might be able to take legal action.

counterfeiting sucks, but especially counterfeit knives. when i sees em, i reports em.

I don't understand what you're saying here.

I logged into Blue Ridge Knives and there are not two lists for Extrema Ratio. They have two PAGES of Extrema Ratio knives and they are all supposed to be actual Extrema Ratio knives. Blue Ridge lists the country of origin as Italy on all of them

The ones that are cheaper are the BF1, BF2 and Dark Talon. If you can call a list price of $195-$245 "cheap"!

Nowhere on the Blue Ridge site do they mention fakes. In fact, in the 19 years I've been dealing with Blue Ridge they have never sold me a counterfeit.

in Toronto, and I'm sure that somebody on here is in Toronto or area, ask a favour, and get them checked out... if they don't have a retail location where the item can be seen... don't buy.

Just my two cent's worth.

Have a good one!

[Rat Finkenstein]

fake as plastic dog shit.

[Rat Finkenstein]

Everything they have is probably fakes.

Sleazy Chinese knockoff outlet.

I would say if you buy that knife from there, there is a very good chance that you will be 'extreme'(ly) disappointed. :ssad:

i forwarded the site to er this morning.

[spartan45]

i forwarded the site to er this morning.

i just got an email from er confirming that they are indeed fakes and that they have contacted the owner of the website. :devil1:

[sentinel]

Bet the owner will be a happy man....:devil1:. I bought a Benchmade Stryker a few years ago from a seller on Ebay to replace a lost one, my first thought on opening the box was, 'quality control has gone downhill since i bought my last Benchmade.' Further inspection & a quick stripdown soon told me it was a fake & i got my money back, but that knife would have fooled someone who had never owned a knife from Benchmade before. Lesson is as always, if it seems too good to be true, it usually is.:ssmile: Let's hope E.R. tear him a new one.

I found the knife they are trying to sell but I don't want to post a link to a chinese website that sells counterfeit knives. Anyways, the knife cost is $20.

I just bought a "used" Extrema Ratio Fulcrum II folder from a guy on Ebay, but the safety pin lock at the back doesn't push in or pull out. I played with it a bit, but I'm now wondering if I may have bought a fake. That would totally suck, because it cost me $150.
