    I had it, but I let my Chinese friend borrow it. He said he wanted to test it out before buying one. Never heard from him again....

    I'm thinking a contest. Who can locate and produce the legit 51455 Izula?

    Gotta be worth some free swag. Or you get to carry Patrick's rucksack for one whole day at Blade.

    I don't know. It will be pretty tough to determine if it's the legitimate 51455.

    I got mine from KSF so I'm pretty sure it a real Izula, I just don't want to take the G-10 off to find out what the serial # is. ;)

    I would think a hardness test would determine if it was a real or fake. They must be using some junk steel with a lower Rc

    Thats what I assume too. Which is why this would make the beat contest ever. Deep cover ESEE operative sneaking in over the Great Wall. Time to put all that silly tactical gear to good use.

    Are the serial numbers consecutive, regardless of color? Or does each color batch have it's own string of numbers?
