Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

Hey everyone,

I found this site selling fake Benchmade 42, but it is pretty damn convincing that it may be real. If I saw someone with one, I would believe it was a Benchmade 42 in a heart beat. What do you guys think?

Re: Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

if i knew that it was actually a fake 42, it had stainless steel handles and a 440c blade like it says in the description and that i'd actually get the damn thing, i'd consider trying it out, but its probably a scam. the description also says its brand name is buck.

i take that back, i didn't realize they were 50 dollars... tired...

Re: Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

The problem, though, is that if they do make them, send them out to buyers (they've sold 8 already, 6 in U.S. and 2 in France), and looks like the real thing, I would not be surprised to see many people scammed in to buying a fake Benchmade 42 for the $280+ price tag it's calling for now.

The pictures in that advertisement probably are real 42's. I would seriously doubt that the "BM42" they send look anything like that. You would have to be a complete retard to believe otherwise.

Re: Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

The pictures are definitely not a genuine 42, that's for sure. Whether or not it's the fake that you'd be buying, my guess is as good as yours. But it's certainly not a real 42.

There's a few tell-tale signs. The tang pin, the rounded bottoms of the handles, the tang cups, and the countersinking are all wrong. That and the middle of the spine rides up a little bit into the swedge, sort of like the profile on a Bradley Alias.

Re: Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

Looks pretty fishy. The picture where they are sitting on their sides, it looks as if the tang and the latch spaces were cut out or drilled out.

i want one as a beater. apparently these are pretty decent copies, with stainless handles. curious about what the fit and finish is like. would make a great beater/practice flipper.

Re: Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

If it's made well enough (not gonna fall apart in a few days), then I'd love to at least give one of these a shot. That site just seems waaaay too sketchy for me.

Re: Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

It has been confirmed on other forums that they are indeed fake. The pictures are in fact pictures of the actually bali you will get if you choose to purchase it.

On bladeforums, a member mentioned that he purchased one a few days ago and will review it once he receives it. Once this review is in, we'll know whether this bali is worth it or not.

The latch is also shaped different it looks like.

I think it's rather amusing how on Bladeforums all the members responded to this like "OMG KILL WHOEVER MADE THESE!!" But here everyone's like "I'd really like to see how it flips!"

Re: Convincing Fake Benchmade 42

Looks like that site stopped selling them. I think our buddies at Blade Forums had something to do with that :lol:
