I Got SCAMMED! How to Spot a FAKE ESEE 4 Survival Knife (Counterfeit vs. Real)

I got scammed recently, so I'm showing you exactly how to spot a counterfeit ESEE 4 survival knife to make sure it doesn't happen to you. The fake is actually a pretty good copy, but there are several key differences: the authentic sheath has a common diamond texture, unlike the fake's grainy texture [03:16]; the real ESEE has consistent printing color and a subtle serial number near the choil, which the fake lacks [10:44]; and most importantly, the handle of the real knife has a noticeable, comfortable palm swell that is completely missing on the flat fake [09:31]. Always be skeptical of prices that are too low, as the $40 price tag should have been my first clue [01:30].
