Hmm, I have a 9" superior Italy with a screw blade pin as well. Does anyone know if that's uncommon?

Yes thats unusual i have a superior stiletto,its a beast.ive never seen one with a screw in the blade pin,unless its a knock off.
The stamp on the blade isn't on the tang,its on the blade going legnth-wise,.if its etched superior,its a knock off chinese knife.if its heavy knife w "superior" stamped into the blade.its a high quality newer italian company thats imo on par with duboi.

Or an AB blade might have been put on a kit knife handle, in which case the handle might not be an actual Italian (though it could be a FB kit).

If you can post a pic, that would be helpful.
i i bought a phoney ab on gunbroker,it might have a screw

Hi. I'm learning myself. As per the instructions on posting images. They say we can't use our PCs (or phones) to post pictures. It has to come from a public access site. I have used PhotoBucket. I'm certainly no pro yet. 1st, upload the pic to PhotoBucket, then choose the direct share. It should create a link to paste in your post. Someone else can tell you a LOT better than me, but I believe this to work.

Its a fake.
I ordered a real one from a real dealer. Its very different.
The AB etching is larger on the copy, also bolsters are not stamped and are thicker

Thanks Jules, I will have to try that. I sent them to Jim so he can post them . So basically it's supposed to be a 9"superior Italy but it has a screw pin in the top bolster, the blade is etched, not stamped and the red dot is painted. Oh and I got it from autoknife.com

Yeah I read the post from Elkabong and all the replies. I'm staying away from autoknife.com. They have no integrity . I've had good results with blade play and bladebid so any new site I go to I'm asking you guys first. I really need to be careful my wife and kids come first so I get like one knife a year!
