Are you an authorized seller, will benchmade honor the lifetime guarantee?

I've never once had Benchmade all me for a receipt when sending in a knife for service...not once. They simply verify that the knife is legit and not a clone and then fix whatever is wrong, and then return your knife to you. I've sent in probably 30 over the years, and they've never asked for my receipt to proceed I bought it from a authorized reseller. They realize that people sell these so much on the secondary market, that it would be impossible to have a receipt for every single one-plus who saves a receipt from 5-10 years ago? Nobody. They just fix them, or offer you credit for another model if the one you send in can't be fixed and is out of production.

How do I know that this is not a clone aka a fake?

Fakes/clones/replicas/knockoffs, whatever you want to call them are sold by three major vendors: AliExpress, DHgate and Wish. The knives are manufactured by a small group of craftsman representing an estimated 10-20 major online customer facing storefronts in Shenzhen, China. These stores are shielded by China's 'give zero f@#$ks' attitude related to copyright law, fair use and international patent laws. I've seen clones of a Benchmade 940 and the new Benchmade 9400 Auto. The quality in materials is indistinguishable, even the D2 and S30v steel hardness was true to the originals on the ones I examined. After a side-by-side comparison with my genuine 940 the small discrepancies start crawling out of the woodwork. Examples: The blade not seating low enough in the closed position, pocket clip 2cm shorter than original, laser engravings are slightly askew. They are getting better all the time and becoming harder to spot, especially now that the clone shops are dialing in their authentic looking packaging. For a price comparison: Chinese 9400Bk $30, free shipping. USA 9400Bk $270, shipping varies. 535's clones start around $20, but come in many limited editions with anodized titanium parts, jade/G10/carbon fiber and even titanium scales.
