Hi Friends!
I am wondering if anyone else has come across a fake / counterfeit Gold Dollar 208?? It seems weird to me that anyone would want to counterfeit such a cheap blade!
I ordered an extra GD to have around and received what appears to be a fake. I got it from amazon, when it arrived i noticed that it looked the same as the picture EXCEPT it doesn't have the logo on the blade and it didn't have the hard plastic case. I took it to get honed and they refused to do it, saying the steel is too weak and it would crumble!!!
I contacted the store that was selling through amazon and told them they either sent me the wrong blade or misrepresented the product, they got back to me VERY quickly apologizing for the "mistake" and telling me they will send me the proper blade and I can keep the other one anyway....
Very weird situation, has this happened to anyone else???
Here is what I got,
And here is the pic from Amazon,
