Fake Japanese knives

I’m surprised there aren’t any counterfeit KS around. Probably easier to make high quality fakes of those than Shigs since they’re just stamped blades.

There's cheap Chinese knives that look exactly the same but with a round plastic ware handle, but they're not called KS.

Always remember, the difference between bad and worse is much more noticeable than that between good and better!

They should just stick to making cars. Whatever the case may be, other can cars their other stuff is just too garish or avant- garden for my tastes.

Porsche Design is it's own shop, and is not part of the car design group. They have designed consumer products for decades. Usually a manufacturer hires them to do a run of special products. The Chroma knives are just one example; there are quite a few watches out there, where Sinn and other companies have done limited edition Porsche Designs. Lots of luggage, wallets, sunglasses, etc. as well.

I do have a question though. Is the bottle of "Chef Doom's Clap B' Gone" at CVS counterfeit, or just someone trying a capitalize on his name/ KKF fame?

Ouch, but I still LOL

I didn't really think of that, but yeh, what about the KS fakes? Or maybe it's just hard to fake?

I would think that a KS would be quite easy to fake. It's a very plain knife.

KS is a plain looking knife, yes, but once you pick it up you'll notice nuances in grinds and tapers ... I guess those wouldn't show on pictures, so fakes should be a plenty ...
