They're BAAAACK,our Asian buddies are out to defraud us again.After thousands of fake Russian Shaskas with bayos,Japanese Arisakas,French Chassepots and Gras bayonets,now we have the German butcherblade 98-05 being faked and sold on Ebay.As usual the quality is quite poor and the markings look to be acid etched not deeply stamped by the factory but to the uninformed they look "almost right".By all means be careful out there.They are not "ULTRA RARE" as the listings try to imply,they are cranking them out as we speak.
