Oh yeah, mine came monday. I've been sporting it all week. Not bad for 25 bucks.
i kinda wanna get one just for the **** of it
my microtech came in and it feels cheap has plenty of blade play and is pretty heavy but its fun to flip back and forth and have already been pretty rough on it
Seems like Benchmade kind of got what was coming to them, with an entity that they couldn't sue out of business.

Got my fake Infidel too.
Planning to throw it at the tree and see if I can get it to stick regularly.
(Which I would never do if it was a $400 knife, lol).

I did, I think I'm going to be a big pain in the ass and try to get my money back and/or send it back lol.
The out the front is awesome though, I think I would like a real one if they had a much lower price point. I'll post up a picture of mine. It's heavy as hell for a pocket knife.
**Last edit, I think if someone had never held a real Infidel, it would be fairly easy to guess that these are fake, heavy clunky, and kind ****ty feeling all around. I have no idea how you would buy this and think it's real for the $400+ price point**

wow, that is some shady business practice
was waayy too long care to give us the gist?
kinda hard for me to follow because more of a long winded rant that i picked up on in the middle, but the short of it is homeboy was drop shipping fakes and didnt realize it, got sued by benchmade for patent infringement involving the name "bali-song" and a slue of other things
they demanded his client list and all this other, pretty much mistakes on both sides but benchmade came out as being way over-zealous and going after any and everyone along the way.
short of it is everyone involved sounds like turds
