With these two AKC World knives, there is a world of difference between them when it comes to quality, fit, and finish. One is awesome, the other, not so much. Even thought he abalone on the 10" is terrible, it is a unique, cool, knife to have. I got the 9" for myself to celebrate my recent birthday. Dec 15. :) Is it real or fake? IDK. They're both real knives.
