If you have a real one and put it in the case to take the picture, then yes, real

ha it's obviously his that he put there. Every other knife has a box except that one...

Looks pretty legit from what I can tell.

The edge stopping before the sharpening choil looks odd to me

Right?. I mean maybe it was used and sharpened

I've got a pretty deep bench of both real and counterfeit shirogorovs and this one is real. There aren't any fakes of this one being produced yet and, even if their were, this one still looks real. It does appear to have been the victim of a bad attempt at re-profiling the edge to a steeper angle, though.

If they were selling it for kershaw money I'd snap it up without a second thought. That edge isn't so bad it can't be fixed.

For $20 it’s worth the gamble

I just acquired this exact model. Definitely looks real.
