A few years back there was a flood of bogus Microtech HALO III knives on the market, for a fraction of what a real HALO III sells for. They seemed nearly identical except the screws were a little different, the steel definitely wasn't Elmax, and they all had the exact same serial number. The problem was some people were reselling them for triple what they paid.

There also was a run of bogus Microtech Combat Troodons that were easy to ID once you actually held them in your hand due to the weight, since they used cast zinc alloy rather than CNC machined aluminum.

Then there are the super cheap knockoffs sold at gun shows and flea markets that typically break within a week.
