FENIX PD35 TAC knockoffs on ebay. BEWARE!

[jon_slider]

OP has stated that Fenix itself confirmed the item was counterfeit

confirmed? I dont know if that is accurate. No evidence has been mentioned.

Fenix is in china

he probably contacted one of the USA vendors

and they probably just automatically fed him FUD
so he would buy from them

Now who is speculating ?

Let's hear back from the OP ....

Since they aren't in the thread yet, could we perchance get to see pictures of the fake PD35 in question?

I cant figure out how to post a pic....

Yes, photos would be appreciated. OP will need to use an image hosting service.

There are a variety of threads on CPF explaining how to do so.

I cant figure out how to post a pic. The first thing I noticed was the pocket clip was very weak and the beam was slightly different from my other one. I bought it for my girlfriend to carry as the TK16 has a bigger head and she kept using my PD35 when we went field herping at night. They didnt have any discount codes when I bought it and 40.00 was better than 72.00. I just got another one from Fenix with the code. Lesson learned. I just never thought about someone faking a Fenix. Maybe a surefire.

Tell-tale sign something is not right.

You guys picked the wrong enemy during the cold war. The kid you should have bullied lived a bit further east.

Solution: Don't buy chinesium if you don't have to. And if you have to, buy only from authorized vendors and established retailers with a reputation. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Also dont buy anything that ships directly from china.

Let's keep cool heads here; be careful with sweeping generalizations of entire nations.
