I have an old Zing from 2009, Sandvik steel, no speedsafe, made in the USA. Kinda curious how this one compares... Probably in for one.

Bought one of these quite a while back and carried it for a few days. It is a nice knife, but too heavy to carry often for my liking.

I received the "Kershaw" today and this is not a genuine Kershaw knife. Be aware that many sellers including a large proportion of eBay seller are selling counterfeit Kerhaws.

I got mine too and felt the same way, as soon as I took it out of the (crushed) box it came in. The grind on the blade is rough, the speedsafe action is slow and the stamping on the clip is messy.

I wasn't sure it was fake since my only comparison is my 2009 USA made Zing and so I don't have a baseline for a genuine Chinese made Zing (apparently all zings are made in China now).

@jocko2, what details made you certain it's fake?

Third. Details I noticed where the print on the blade was not in the right place and just blurry, the lockup sticks and also in the stock photos online you can see the place where the detent ball is from the outside, that doesn't show on the one sold through That Daily Deal. It makes me wonder if it's even 8cr13 or might be an even cheaper steel. The blade is also off center. The shape of the grind is off too.

Edit: Even the metal the clip is made out of gets bent out just from pulling on it enough to clip onto some fabric. Just horrible, I don't think it's the fact that it's made in China or even shipped directly from China, it has the same cheap feel all around as another counterfeit I've gotten in the past. I doubt Kershaw would tolerate this quality even for China made ones.

Agreed. Quality and design is way off. Plus it's a considerably large frame than actual Zing knives.

I just looked at the box again and the sticker on it makes it very clear it's made by Yangjiang Hulhong Hardware Products Co. ltd, the word Kershaw doesn't even show on the barcode label that is on the box.

Pretty disappointed.

The knife box is as much a give away, that it's a fake, as the knife. All genuine Kershaws boxes have a white label with the model name and item number and a UPC code and the color of the fake box is different. Along with the position of the blade etch being in the wrong place it's pretty easy to tell a genuine from a counterfeit Kershaw.
