Amazon Is Selling FAKE Gerber Strongarm Knives, Don't Get Ripped OFF

[@mjpb20]

Thank you for the heads up man! I also got suckered into the 50% off deal. Sending mine back for a refund. Once I get my $ back, I plan on updating my seller review with a vengeance.

[@tomwadek]

No problem. Sorry to hear that. Wish Amazon would do something about it.

[@IvanMalechko]

Amazon is not only selling fake strongarms but also is blocking reviews mentioning this.

[@tomwadek]

Wow!

[@stevesanders4427]

In July I bought one of the fakes for $52 after buying a real one for $82 from a reputable dealer. I got a bad feeling when I opened the small box with bubble wrap and poor quality info sheet. I wouldn’t have realized it was fake if I’d not recently bought the real one. I tried to put the review with comparison pictures on Amazon … nothing bad in my wording … but Amazon rejected my review saying it didn’t meet ‘community standards’.

[@tomwadek]

That’s disappointing. That’s why I made this video. Spread the word. Cheers!

[@billh.1940]

Well the Amazon community is the cheap Chinese knock offs. Always return fakes. Maybe Amazon can be sued for selling frauds. Btw I stopped buying from them years ago.

I got mine 2 days ago for $43 or so. Thought it was weird as it is being so cheap but when it came in the packaging looked awfully cheap and decided to look it up. Thank you for this video! The telltale signs for me were the blade dimensioning that you mentioned and the typo on the box (it said PORTLAMB)

[@tomwadek]

Wow, PORTLAMB. Holy Molly. Spread the word and hopefully Amazon will do something

If it's a good quality knife 🔪 I don't care! Everything today is grossly overpriced. Apparently, Amazon is selling it at the original price when it was introduced. Same price as the Prodigy model I bought years ago. Definitely going to get Amazon product!

[@BuzznSuz]

I bought the fake on purpose knowing it was fake. Everything about it is spot on to the real one in appearance and I do mean spot on. I’ve batoned, beat it up, pried with the point, the complete hard usage knife stuff while keeping a decent edge. Why would I spend 3 times the money for a a knife of complete functionality. Knife snobs can gloat on how much they paid as I gloat on how much I didn’t.

I ordered a buck knife that I knew was fake just to see the difference. So far the four deer I cut up haven't noticed it. Was a fixed blade knife though

I’m not a advocate of buying Chinese products, but owning a couple cold steel knives, I have to admit that Chinese steel is comparable to 440 , if you are looking for a budget knife that will work , but there are many other choices

You can also see clearly how the injection molding for the handle on the fake knife was poorly done (especially on that black piece). Thank you for the helpful video, once again 👍

[@tomwadek]

Yeah, unfortunately if you don’t have a real one to compare side by side, most folks wouldn’t know what it’s suppose to look like. Thanks for watching!

[@twardy8996]

Great comparison! I have already provided a link to it to many poor people who bought a fake thinking it was the original (including on Amazon).

[@DragonsinGenesisPodcast]

The only thing worse than getting a knockoff Gerber is getting a real Gerber. That company has seriously gone downhill since I first bought one of their knives in the 1990s.

[@samholland7598]

I bought a fake one off an add on Facebook. It was 35 bucks including shipping. The old saying, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is. First sign of a fake was how poorly the sheath holds the knife. The fake one doesn’t hold it at all. The real one clicks in and holds the great. Thanks for the vid. Well done.

[@tomwadek]

Glad you liked it. Spread the word, cheers

[@racer14glr91]

I got my Strongarm in 2017. It's authentic. But, a few details have changed since then. Very small ones. The "Gerber" on the scabbard is matte, no shine. The biggest difference? Price. I paid $51 for it then!

[@clehman67]

I bought one from Amazon (Gerber store) as well. The straps on the fake were light-weight vs. the real Strongarm. There were heavy grind marks on the blade that were not polished away. It looked like someone took a rough grinder to it and then coated it. The real Strongarm was properly polished and no grind marks on the blade. The fit and finish just wasn't there. I returned mine as well. Good video.

[@tomwadek]

Sorry to hear. Glad you got a real one

It looks like I was duped as well. If I remember correctly though, I bought mine at Dick’s, not an online retailer. Also, the website shows the longer serial number in the product photos?

[@WendigoACTL]

Man shit like this is the reason I only order gear straight from the manufacturer's website anymore. There's almost no such thing as a good deal anymore, so I just pay retail price to make sure I'm getting exactly what I expect.

[@FDDLERSGREEN]

I hope amazon fixed this. I just bought one today from there. It was the 80 one. Thanks for letting me know what to look out for

[@ElessarEstel]

That's the one I got. It just came in the mail today. If it makes you feel better, mine is definitely real. It's indistinguishable from my other one which came directly from Gerber

[@ethan367]

Thanks for the video. I paid 75 dollars for one off Amazon and it was the knock off with broken buttons out of the box. Definitely sending it back, i might not use amazon anymore

[@fillupread]

Im sitting here looking at my real Strongarm and the fake I just got off Amazon...Damn. I also paid right at 40 bucks and the knockoff might be worth 40 bucks but I thought I was buying an original on sale. I didnt need it, I chose to buy it because of the "sale" ...Think I will send it back for a refund out of principal...

The fakes are terrible btw. My friend chip the blade cutting fire wood. All he was doing was shaving the wood and nothing more.

[@CPM_1975]

Hmm, I wonder which version cabelas is selling on their website as well.

[@bacca71]

Glad you surfaced this issue. Any info on where the fake Gerber(s) are made (do the sellers info provide a clue)? Assume that Gerber is made in USA? Circa '71- '72 had a Gerber Mk-I with a nice leather sheath circa 71'-'72. Absolutely beautiful steel, nice balance. Took a beating in the boonies and came out functionally 'as new.' Shame they're selling fakes.

[@tomwadek]

The real one is in the USA and the fakes are China. All the scammers off of eBay and Amazon get their fakes from the same Chinese counterfeit manufacture. I think my dad had the Mk-I. Great knives. Glad you liked the video. Cheers

When the strongarm came out it was 65 bucks but it gonna up because of inflation I got all 3 colors of the lmf 2 for 100 bucks each today they go for for 120

[@milspecmike8440]

I have a Strongarm that I bought when they came out, I shoved it in a drawer and only recently remembered I had it, so I took it out and started watching videos on them and decided to compare mine to see what details on my older, real one match up. For example, the serial number is 8 digits more like the one on your fake knife that has 7 but the font is correct, the “made in Portland” is in the correct location but the logo is lower on the other side in a similar spot as your fake one. Mine is sharp, the edge starts in the correct location and the snap is in the right location but the stitching isn’t an X pattern, it has the correct amount of overhang on the bottom at the back, also you can see that two snaps under the knife on the sheath are wrong on your fake, the real ones, both are bottom of the male side where the fakes have the underside of the male end on one and the top of the female end on the other. I don’t have the box anymore but back then I got several Gerbers, mostly from legit stores (some may have been from Amazon) and none of them came in a cardboard sleeve inside the box, some of them were plastic packaged (I believe this one was) for in store sales and the ones that came in a box were just loose in there. There are other details that make the fake obvious, you can see how sloppy the overmolding is on your fake, the real ones are clean. I think Gerber has made changes over the years, the fakers might even have some of this stuff correct from older iterations.

True. Things evolve over time. Thanks for sharing

[@soulmediabo]

Here's my take on it. Gerber has been outsourcing some of its blades for some time now, either Taiwan or China. Basically, if it has a B at the end of the serial number, it's outsourced, because it indicates Batch number, not serial number. These are the outsourced ones, not necessarally fake, however these are the ones that are being counterfeited. So, you get Strong Arm US made, Strong Arm Outsourced, and you got unlucky enough to get the counterfeit one. The outsourced ones are just as good as the US made. The main tell of the counterfeit ones, are as you said, female and male snaps, etc. There's one last tell to see if it's counterfeit, and you can appreciate it due to the high quality of your video, the tapering from the plunge line on the "originals" rounded, the fakes are sharper. The merge between the plunge line and the grindline is also sharper on the fakes.

[@mr.rem2609]

I bought mine off Ebay and mine matches every detail of the fake one. What should I do? I heard Gerber wants the knives, are they trying to do anything? I agree this in no way is Gerbers fault though.

[@edwardniqqa-hanz9099]

It's impossible to know for sure that you're not buying a fake on Amazon when every one of the listing use the exact same stock photos. Never showing the actual item you're buying.

I recently ordered 11 Strongarms of different colors and edge types from Amazon. Only 2 were real Gerber, the rest are fakes. I also ordered 2 Strongarms and one LMF II from MidwayUSA. All are real Gerber. Midway sells Strongarm for $80 ($72 after 10% discount) and the LMF II was $100-110.

[@tomwadek]

Oh wow. That’s a lot of fakes. Thanks for sharing.

[@ozysjahputera7669]

@@tomwadek I ordered about 2 knives at a time, each time from a different seller (including Amazon itself!). The first order came where one was real, and another was fake. This sparked my interest and after doing the research I confirmed which one was fake. I returned it for a refund. Then I ordered one which turned out to be real as well. So, the real ones were still out there. Maybe it was a fluke that I received one fake knife. So I placed 4 more orders (not at the same time) getting different colors and edge type (serrated and non-serrated) from 4 different vendors, including Amazon itself as a seller. Well, all 8 knives that came with the last 4 orders turned out to be FAKE, including the two that Amazon sold! I wrote review on Amazon warning people about the fake knives. I spoke with customer service several times informing them about the fake knives, including the ones sold by Amazon directly. I don't know if any of my feedback matters, probably not. But we should spread the words about these fake knives. I returned all the fakes because I just could not support counterfeit operations at the expense of a US-based company with their workers still making the real knives. If you want to get the real Gerber, take a look at MidwayUSA. I know I got 100% real Gerber with the 3 blades I just got from them. Their pricing is not bad either, especially if you catch them during sales and free shipping offer.

Nobody can prove Amazon is knowingly selling fake knives. What frequently happens is guys will order something, replace it with the fake, then send it back. Amazon warehouse employees dont know all that you know so they just put it back on the shelf and then the next guy gets a fake. Unless its something with a serial number AND they remember to track by serial number, no one will ever know for sure where it was swapped.

[@LXT43]

Not quite correct. Amazon has a lot of 3rd party sellers who knowingly sell fakes. It's very easy to be Amazon seller and Amazon is so big they can't control who sells genuine merchandise and who does not. The best way to avoid getting a fake is to stick with buying directly from Amazon and not their 3rd party sellers. People need to quit being stupid when they buy things on Amazon, ebay or where ever.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

@@dougvuillemot8670 Amazon has millions of products, nobody there can memorize all the prices especially with them changing all the time. And what you stated is a relatively small price difference especially given the current economy. I bought a Ladybug long before the recession. Went back and checked, the price has skyrocketed. Also you completely missed my point. Amazon has no clue what a fake mass produced knife looks like compared to a real mass produced knife. Again, nobody there is an expert on much of anything, except maybe how to abuse the working class.

I hate blades with coatings on them because it smears and rubs off and it makes the knife look bad in my opinion. Mine is real by the way.

ebay sellers selling fakes now got smart and sell Strongarms without the boxes. lol. Welcome to the internet shopping. People should have kept brick n mortar shops in business instead of running to the internet to save a buck or two! I never got anything fake when I bought at physical store.

Thank you I almost bought a fake Gerber knife. The Chinese fake everything. I hope one day beautiful fake women then I'll buy :)
