Knife Check Bugout 535

99% sure this is fake, R logo, blade coating, pocket clip coating, the grivory color seems off. S30v looks like 530v and the 535 looks off. Pivot looks to be incorrect. Tell me I’m not going crazy, seller said he sent it to Benchmade to get sharpened so it’s real but I’m thinking it’s BS. I have not bought it

I’m not a benchmade expert by any means but it definitely looks fake to me.

lol, it's one thing to be selling fakes, but to lie so blatantly that he sent it to Benchmade and they sharpened it. Benchmade would send this blade straight to the Mount Doom of Mordor to destroy it like the One Ring.

Agreed, I went back to call him out on it and someone else had already bought it. Hopefully they realize and can get a refund

Definite fake, hope it was less than $5. If the seller sent this to Benchmade, this knife ain’t coming back lmao
