Woodlore knife fakes

[BIG_emu]

it does seem unlikely that someone with so many posts and rep points would fabricate such a scenario,

TBH I didn't notice that , now I'm very unsure as to what I thinks going on

Just to clarify - the thread on BB has been locked. The photo's were proven to be faked, not the knives, and the situation has been appropriately dealt with by Martyn.

I just thought I'd let you guys know incase there was a mass 'fake woodlore' panic. There were no forged Woodlore knives and there is no reason to believe that there ever was.

Hmmm maybe this thread should be closed as there is no actual evidence of fakes at this time?

Just to re-affirm the above. The photo's of the fake woodlore were photoshopped, without doubt.

I can not say categorically that there was never a fake knife, but I can say categorically that the alleged pictures of it were forgeries. It was a picture of a genuine woodlore, but the logo had been digitally altered to make it look like it could be a counterfeit knife.

Personally, I have never seen any evidence to suggest that any fake woodlore's exist. There is certainly a possibility that they exist, but I have never personally seen anything. Untill such a time, I would conclude that these rumors are just that, nothing more.

I would also agree that closing this thread would be a good idea.
