Tested rough black 6318 PU

Opinions? I don't know Tested well enough to say if this is legit. It's a Sporty listing so that doesn't help either way.

The shield looks kind of ragged to me and so does the pitted area, that's about all I know.

I feel good enough to say 100% authentic. didn't read the listing itself..but the knife looks fine

I was under the impression that rough black was only used 1940-49. I suppose it could be a Case of leftover blades from the tested era.

I agree the knife looks good. Not sure about the rough black dates but I have owned a lot of Tested Rough Black knives.

I believe the knife is fine. I too have several of the rough black knifes from the Tested era.

rough black was used from the tested era through the xx era up until the 1950 from what I've seen.

you will see many xx era rough black with tested shields.

I have never seen a pre tested knife with rough black, as well ive never seen a post XX era with rough black.
