I have Rad Hewer that, sadly, I think is a replica. I would appreciate your views, I was directed to this forum by the OVMS.
Thanks!

Hawks2015, you canīt say this is a pure replica or fake as it only resembles very very far an RAD hewer (which it obviously should resemble). Let us say that it is no original RAD leader.
I am not sure but I think I have heard these "knives" are currently produced in China.

So many fake Rads coming from Poland and other Eastern Europe spots. So easy to spot that it is almost painful. Mostly bogus Boker stamps and Rad triangles that are poorly etched. Also genuine rads have the sharpened part of the blade run right to to hilt. Sorry!
