Remember that the seller might offer images from an original knife but might ship a knock-off. Always ask for the written message to have the right to return the knife. Buy from reliable sources only. Maybe a little more expensive but the seller is still there in case of warranty matters. The China-made F1 copy is a poor investment, much since the quality is so low – you should not rely upon that knife. The value is a few US dollar only. Fällkniven AB will always bring those who sell counterfeits to court. Except for huge fines, the deceiver will get registered because of his criminal actions. |
