Got the bk19 today. Looks exactly the same. Same coating through out the blade. Popped scales off and looks like the real deal. The only thing that could be different is the steel but that requires testing. Razor sharp as well.
For that price it's no way you could go wrong ,be it a copy or whatever folks want to call it. Its sharp and has a sheath , that's hard to beat. The should blame the companies for selling out to make bigger profit and less quality control or fit & finish. ⌚
I would be suspicious about the steel quality. But never know. 10 years ago I bought an Izula knockoff and still in great shape (because I never used it 😂)
I took it to a local knife expert and it’s the real thing I don’t know how they got it over there but they did and so luckily I just a made a great buy
Unfortunately, just about every tool we buy even the popular name brands like Milwaukee, DeWalt, etc. etc. are all made in China. Everything comes from there. There are a few things that are made in the United States. However we just can’t compete with their prices so if you only buy things they made in the United States you won’t have much.
@@hermanwandall4069 You are correct, seldom do you see ANYTHING that boast; Made in the USA. KABAR wants a $152 for the BK-18 and Amazon $102, I paid $25 for the TEMU knock off KABAR, I can't tell the difference, sure it's a copy but if I lost the $25 in the boonies it definitely would not hurt as bad!

Check out my hard use tests on cheap temu knives you'll be surprised how great the steel is
Sometimes you just get a good buy
The locals in New York pronounce it Oh-leah-anne. Definitely a nice chinese real fake Kabar. $8? Dude... of course it's fake.

The kabar is real some of their models are made in China i got the harpoon one for 27$ it's the real thing
Yea I hate to tell you it's fake. It says it's a copy down where the pics start. But probably be good to defend. I wouldn't bushcraft with it.
Where do you get Temu coupons?
They send them to you on the app. Sometimes to many! Lol
too bad you are not actually supporting k-bar, but rather buying cheap chinese counterfeits.
