Frame/handles are authentic but XX era. Main clip blade is fake.

That's true this shield was used on some late tested and early XX knives but the frame and clip blade are the giveaway here.XxTestedxX wrote:Closed C? I see several tested examples with the open C.

Re: Ima wearing U.S. Keds (high tops)
roger that! I wasn't defending said knife. Just making sure I wasn't losing my mind.
I feel like every tested knife posted immediately gets knocked for being an OPEN C. I feel like that should be the icing on the cake vs. the first indicator.
Fun times! having fun on this page.
