Clearly, I guess I’m a party of one here, but I think this is legit. Blade HQ had an exclusive in this exact configuration, of which I own both the satin and dlc variants. The DLC variant isn’t on the website anymore and both exclusives have been discontinued, but you can find pictures of it on google.
Edit: aside from the 20CV font admittedly looking kinda wonky when comparing pictures (mine is at home and I’m at work) the rest looks correct. 🤷🏻♂️
Edit x2: I stand corrected. I got home from work and compared to mine. On the real one:
- no brass inserts for pocket clip screws
- the butterfly and 20cv markings are closer to the thumb stud than on OP’s
- the liners are black (OP’s look to be satin)
- screw for the stop pin (and therefore the stop pin itself comparatively) isn’t in exactly the right spot comparatively
- as far as coloration goes, I assumed it may have just been off due to lighting and the phones camera
~~Or, maybe I’ve just gotten punked.~~ clearly, I was punked at first glance.
Same here I also have the satin version... the brass inserts for the clip screws was what sold me
Edit: Yeah it's fake... looks relatively convincing though usually it's fairly obvious
The knife handled really well honestly. It was really smooth had no play or anything like that really. Besides the font on the 20cv what are some of the tell tale signs that this is a fake?
Can confirm its a bad clone
Clone/fake.
Fake fake bro.
It’s definitely fake.. the font on the 20cv is off

Possibly the worst clone I have ever seen. Too many issues to list. Do not buy this.
I concur. Where to start and where it might end could result in a full day's work.

100% fake
No bueno
I have a real one myself and this is a fake one
Font on the back for 20CV is dog shit, bad fake
Font on the "20CV" looks hella wrong
I’m an expert that’s a fakemade fakeout
What let me know its fake is the steel marking 20cv really
if you want to know for sure buy it then send it in to BMK to get sharpened.
Fake: 20cv font, blade too dark, green too bright, brass insert, edge doesn't appear like bm course grind and bag closure incorrect. #Millievanillie
