Fake Viscaria or real Deal?

Today I received this Viscaria.

it's fake.
the handle & neck area are way off. There's also something not quite right about the silver tag and also that J.T.T.A.A. stamp is way way diff. than those of my 2 orig. old & new Viscarias.
Where did you get/buy this?
Did you buy it here from some reg./famous/popular seller who always boasts to all that he has some cousins/relatives/families in China?
It's most probably from Taobao or BuyChina....

I warned imago the moderator that danroid was selling fake product, his zjk blade was obviously fake too

mine's pretty old so i can't remember clearly, but was the handle ever blue? lol

it is obvious a fake, good job with notifying it Chris.  I too did that once on ebay, where  I contacted ebay to report a fake item being sold... shame on these scammers

The same for the second item after the buyer left feedback. Horrible.

There are 2 wood plies over the arylate/carbon layer. Real Viscaria should only have 1.

I think I understand why butterfly wants to discontinue Viscaria since there are too many fakes on the market. ...But they can't cuz ZJK is in love with his.

I have just contacted ebay and also the first buyer.  There is always a little chance that a seller does not know that he owns/sells a fake Viscaria. But in this case it is obvious the guy is cheating.

I pm' ed the reseller yesterday and asked
for serialnumbers on box and blade, got very
nice reply "there are so many numbers and
japanese letters at the box i do Not know what you mean!😇
I answered how 2 compare-no more reply-
Regarding the provided pictures in offer he
placed the box for his advantage-the seller
knows it is fake👹

Glad I went on vacation, I just answered his pm about him offering me one.
Promised I would buy one from him after I came back.
Now I read this and no money will be invested!

Thanks
