Nun bin auch ich überzeugt : Extrema Ratio hat mir auf Anfrage bestätigt, dass es sich beim Ebay-MF0 - Angebot gesichert nur um eine Fälschung handelt und dass Extrema Ratio nun Ebay kontaktiert habe, dass dem Anbieter das Handwerk gelegt würde ...

Subject: Promotional ER MF0 ?
Hello,
My name is Serge Hommel, I'm from Luxembourg (Europe) and as a collector of knives (and of course also a fan from fantastic Extrema Ratio Knives) I had this question :
A seller on the platform EBAY actually is offering 2 knives that he offers as "Extrema Ratio _ MF0":
Item number 120508817667 _ EXTREMA RATIO MF 2 MINI NEU OVP Taschenmesser MESSER
Item number 120508042642 EXTREMA RATIO MF 2 MINI NEU OVP Taschenmesser MESSER
As some difference to regular MF0 is obvious as : no safety system on the lock, other coating on the blade, the box differ from usual box ...:
I contacted the guy who offers those "ER MF0" ... and his answer was :
That this would not be the regular MF0 as on the market ... but would be a promotional-version that Extrema Ratio offers for free (as a gift ) to their official resellers ... and not foreseen to be resold as a regular ER.
As he could get some in hands : Reselling on Ebay as "a rare special Extrema Ratio" should not go for problems for a private person ...
=> My question : Does Extrema Ratio really manufacture and distribute such promotional items ?
If they really do : Would be a nice add to complete an ER-collection as it would be a "real Extrema Ratio" even if "only" a promotional item.
However if they don't : Would be a fake ... copie and should not join the real regular knives from Extrema Ratio in a collection ...
(I hope you could do the requiered steps to stop that guy in this case ....)
I hope you could help me to have clarity at this point ... and sorry to waste something your time on a "collectors-question" ...
Many Greetings from Luxembourg to Italy,
Serge

Hello,
thank you for your precious information. Actually they are fakes copy of our knives.
We have contacted E-bay asking to remove these items form site since they are fakes.
Thank you a lot for your help in this.
Best regards
EXTREMA RATIO staff
Somit also auch bei mir letzte Zweifel beseitigt ...
Aber ich hätte ohne solche Info schon auch nie auf solches Ebay-Angebot zurückgegriffen, solange ich nicht Klarheit über eventuelle Echtheit gehabt hätte ...
Zusatzinfo :
Zudem scheint Extrema Ratio nicht nur die Angebote entfernen lassen zu haben ... sondern der Anbieter wurde seitens Ebay komplett gesperrt :
