For the great unwashed, like me, can you point out some of the things that indicate that it is a fake?

First thing that hit my untrained eye was the brushed blades. I'm sure there is quite a bit more.

Ax, here's a Tested version of the same knife I picked up many years ago . Has all the various "qualities" of that one. I'm sure there are others here who have similar "gems". Slim

I'm not sure, but I think Slim is indicating that that knife is a fake as well.

Yep fellas, as fake as you can get. I was embarrased to open all the blades, one if the pen blades is convex on one side and hollow ground on the other. Sorta like maybe a spoon pen. But heck, everybody knows a Tested congress can be worth thousands
I've learned some since then.Slim
