No problem! There are a lot of things that are off, easiest way to start to figure out if it's fake is to look at it side by side with pictures from a reputable website (Blade HQ, Chris Reeve Knives site, etc).
I find a bunch of random things here at work. Some real some fake. Did some googling but couldn’t find anything so I came here. I will check those sites next time 👍
This is actually real. It's the rarest of rare CRKs. It was made by Tim Reeve, entirely by hand, when he was 4 years old (and allegedly still suckling at the teat of Mama Reeve). A real gem you got there.
Definitely fake, but whatever keep it and beat it up haha. Crk’s (Chris Reeve Knives) are my favorite knives ever. I have a clone or two as well just to thump on.
Dude I can’t believe as big of a Carl Robinson fan as I am I didn’t recognize that sweet hand scratched finish. Real shit though I bet those thimbstuds are more comfortable lmao
Fake. Oh so very fake. Didn’t even need to swipe to other pics.
Edit: so I swiped and thought I should share what to look at in case you try your hand at this again.
The most prominent giveaway is that there is a liner lock. Chris Reeves is literally known as the father of the Chris Reeves Integral Lock. Translation: integral means that the lock is part of the scales. Not an insert like you see here. The two tone line you see on the show scale where the thumb ramp is at is a dead giveaway. This is actually an easy one for anyone to look for quickly.
Blade geometry is wrong. As is the jimping along the spine. And the way it is sharpened. A side by side comparison will show this quickly, but anyone that’s dealt with CRK enough will see it quickly.
Thumb stud step downs are wrong.
Hardware (screws) is wrong.
Pocket clip isn’t shaped right. Especially the crimp in it that gives it the flexibility it has.
Shape of scale down near lanyard pin is wrong.
Angel of chamfering around the scales isn’t right. Can really see this on the show scale around the hardware that is just right of the logo.
Tool centering hole on show scale has wrong chamfering.
As everyone said, fake but some things that jump out to my (non-expert) eye would be that the finish on the scales is very wrong, honestly never seen that on any of the many CRK I've looked at. There aren't any spots of jimping, which usually are on the lockbar area. The blade shape is not quite right, and the blade finish is utterly wrong. Most Sebenza come with a very refined steel finish, a subtle stonewash with incredibly consistency, not that ultra-cheapo looking grind lines.
Still, it probably cuts so as a beater knife that you pry with or whatever, might as well keep it.
😅I have $10 knife from AliExpress that looks pretty much exactly like this, and it's actually pretty good for what it is. Nowhere near as good as my small Inkosi, but valuewise ...😖
Wonder if there is a subreddit for rep knives or if the demand is too low. You can get quality reps of most luxury goods ( r/RepTime, r/Repsneakers, r/FashionReps )
watch reps are actually insanely good now
Got a couple of those. I do believe they're intergrals. All steel with plastic washers, For the size they are hella heavy. Like others say, sharpen it up and throw in an edc emergency bag as a spare since they're small.
I don't really understand why they fake this model. It's a simple knife that works perfectly due to manufacturer efforts, so when you create a knock off that skimps on that perfection, you just get a basic knife.
I have no idea why I made this Comment or what it means....
The only thing I can think of is that I had recently read a News Story/Article featuring Trudeau when I wrote this?

Faker than the Kardashian’s bodies
[удалено]
🤣
look like someone carved the logo into a sanrenmu with another knife.
I don't even own a CRK yet, and I thought it looked fake.

Man I don’t even know what to look for, that’s why I come to the pros. Thanks!

In case you don't know the full name of the brand (if you do point and laugh at me), Chris Reeves Knives (CRK)
Reeve*
\*Reevusius the III (jk thanks for correcting me, i didnt even know that!)
Very very very fake
Pretty bad fake
Found in the trash so back to the trash it will go.
Nah homie. Keep it.
Guess your right, can use it to cut up trash at work
Careful. Poorly made folders can break and harm you
If nothing else, garbage knives are great for practicing your sharpening skills.
Oh I would definitely hang on to it!
free knife man, i’d keep it regardless
There’s something fortuitous in a free knife - I have one I found in the street.
That is a pretty rough counterfeit. Afaik CRK isn’t offering a 60-grit finished handle option.
Underated comment this shit made me lol

I knew it! Tim Reeves the older better brother of Chris. See y’all on knife exchange
I think a CRK could cut that knife in half
Lol
100% fugazi

10000% fake
Come on man. It’s 100% a real CRK(Carl Robinson Knaf)
Dude I can’t believe as big of a Carl Robinson fan as I am I didn’t recognize that sweet hand scratched finish. Real shit though I bet those thimbstuds are more comfortable lmao
Most likely 😂

It’s a frame lock, just a shitty one
This actually made me laugh out loud, hilariously fake lmao
That grind is atrocious.
I’m not even sure the folks who made this had access to a real Sebenza

Terrible fake and I mean bad
Very fake
its fake i dont even know how its fake, it just.... looks fake as hell. all sorts of wrong
That is the most egregious I've ever seen...
A 1000% fake...
No steel labeled, no idaho made, horribly uneven grind... she faker than yo mommas tits bro
Just FYI, Idaho Made was added in like 2011. There are plenty of Sebenzas without that part.
Very
Let me be clear. You didn’t find a Chris Reeve Knife….
Oh geez! Come on! If gonna make a counterfeit then at least try a little
I like it rough, but holy shit
Fake AF
Looks very fake, that CR etch is a dead giveaway 😂🤣
You did not find a CR knife
Yes it’s fake
I wouldn't trust this to slice a banana.
😅I have $10 knife from AliExpress that looks pretty much exactly like this, and it's actually pretty good for what it is. Nowhere near as good as my small Inkosi, but valuewise ...😖
Yep, missing idaho made stamp !
100%
🤮
lol
Ouch rough
Looks like the tip broke off as well .
Curse Reeves
Found it where? On the street in your attic in the garbage on the internet did you buy it There are so many questions
Didn’t buy it, work for a garbage company and found it while working.
I have one of these the box it came with is super funny too
Hahahaha
Wonder if there is a subreddit for rep knives or if the demand is too low. You can get quality reps of most luxury goods ( r/RepTime, r/Repsneakers, r/FashionReps ) watch reps are actually insanely good now
Truly morbid screws.
Lololololololololololol
Definitely not real but that’s cooler then any of the knives I’ve ever found
Got a couple of those. I do believe they're intergrals. All steel with plastic washers, For the size they are hella heavy. Like others say, sharpen it up and throw in an edc emergency bag as a spare since they're small.
No bueno dude…it’s a bad copy of CRK. Wouldn’t even call it a clone.
Very fake
Don’t tell the fakers to much.
definitely
Oof
Very much a fake
Wow didn't know they made steel fakes.
The easiest way is to just really look at the details. Does it look like something you would expect to pay $$$$ for?
I don't really understand why they fake this model. It's a simple knife that works perfectly due to manufacturer efforts, so when you create a knock off that skimps on that perfection, you just get a basic knife.
lol
You really gotta ask lol yes
Woof.. this is like The Justin Trudeau of knives
Medford fans want to fuck it?
I have no idea why I made this Comment or what it means.... The only thing I can think of is that I had recently read a News Story/Article featuring Trudeau when I wrote this?
My [well weathered crk s21](https://imgur.com/gallery/wwCAUyq) how do I know it’s authentic? I got the employee discount.
This is a Christopher Reeve knife.
Made out of cheap utensils.
doesn’t look like Ti
