Leveretto Authenticity
Bill - I'm sure you've been asked before but here goes. How does one purchase a "real" Leveretto? Is there any difference between 3 Knives offerings and DHGate's knives. What should the average guy look for? Or should we stay clear entirely?

Re: Leveretto Authisnesity
Anything sold on DHGate is counterfeit.
Anything sold on 3 knives is legitimate.
Yes, there is a "real" difference in the knives.

Re: Leveretto Authisnesity
There is a few post on FB showing what some felt were made in China and they lack the normal tell tale signs. I hope they are not fakes as if they are they have corrected some of the signs of the fakes....

Re: Leveretto Authisnesity
Go to Bill’s website and compare his knife to what you’re planning to buy. Look closely at the blade shape, signature, bolsters, pin placement, etc.

Re: Leveretto Authisnesity
A "real" Leverletto, would have the extra pin (1st generation)
and would be etched by Mrs DeShiv. . . . .
I had two 1st Gens, not etched, my brothers borrowed them, one is beat to death, one is in a far away sock drawer,
I'm hiding my 2nd gen Leverletto.

Re: Leveretto Authisnesity
If it has Microtec on the blade that's a dead giveaway. Saw one once on DHGate.
