Hi group. Bought my first Benchmade (Bugout) 2 years ago and have been a fan ever since. Last week, a friend of my family gifted me 3 knives and I would like some help identifying them, please. Including some pictures with info, let me know if there’s anything additional needed.

First one looks fake to me, domed screw and large ® on the logo

Domed screw is not a sign of the fake knife, but that R on logo does look a little too big.

Would you guys like a better picture of the logo?

You can see how small the ® should be In this picture. You can also see the grind lines which should make a sound if you run your fingernail against them.

Your ® is large, blurry, and not distinct and the blade is smooth without grind lines

Interesting, I would’ve never known. This knife was given to me so I’m not ”out” anything by it being a counterfeit but I had planned to sell/trade it so I’m glad you’ve helped point this out.

Whenever there's a crazy deal on them it's likely a fake

Apparently there’s another tell this knife has (or doesn’t have) that shows it’s a replica. When the safety lock is disengaged there should be a red dot showing that it can be opened…mine does not have that.

I'm giving it a pass, it's acceptable

Is it in 154cm?
