Just saw this on e-Bay. Judging from the shipping address (Hong Kong), and some of the seller's other items offered for sale, I've got a feeling this knife may be a clone!
But.... a clone of what? Has anyone ever seen a curved lever lock similar to this?

It says Ganzo Tool so it may not be a clone but it's definitely a China knife. If it's a Ganzo it's well made.

Well, the seller is calling themselves Ganzo-Tool, but it appears they've attempted to cover the counterfeit AKC Italy stamp with the lever. AKC must be the easiest for them to spell as they call everything AKC.sammy the blade wrote:It says Ganzo Tool so it may not be a clone but it's definitely a China knife.

Not a clone of anything. Just a Chinese knife.

Re: Unique knife on e-Bay
True enough and they admit it is made there. However, the AKC tang stamp is purposely misleading. Not confident a legal action over a trade mark infringement would go anywhere in that country.Bill DeShivs wrote:Not a clone of anything. Just a Chinese knife.

I see so many marked that way, I completely overlooked it!
