Since we can not really see what the daggers look like because of the one poor photo, I can not see how we can make a detailed list of what is wrong.

What is most disturbing about these are the grips. Almost all reproductions have leather grips. I believe the grip on the second one can not be genuine "Sami" material. And that is the point I would make to him, what is the grip material. past that, I suggest he look at the photos of mine and do his own comparison.
