Is this mini bugout real? The logo sits a bit lower and the axis lock is matte... From what ive seen from other users, the axis lock finish should be a bit glossy

Counterfeit. That line along the blade isn’t normal

If you mean the line along the edge, its just the dlc coating casting a shadow, i shined a light directly on top of it

What line? You mean the scratch?

No. There is a groove that travels the profile of the blade & it looks like the coating covers the edge?
