hi Giel

I dont like it - firstly in previous threads the HJ diamond follows the checker pattern, which is an indication of a fake - do a search on HJ knives & it should come up with a photo with diagrams etc, I have never seen that etch before, plus the scabbard doesnt have the rivet near the lip, the handles looks like it has casting marks esp on the quillion, the HJ diamond also doesnt look right it has gold colour "bleeding" into the red & white ? the RZM etch looks not good ...

I just dont like it IMO - I will be surprised if it turns out to be good
Regards
Craig

I can only echo Craigs comments. Not a good item to me.

Numerous red flags, the biggest of which is the motto font. Run, don't walk, away from this one.
