I also have 2 Green Beret knives and one has black Micarta handles (go figure)the knives were bought at the same time around 2004.The reason for 2 of each and others is I used to travel with my brother in law before his death last year and now I am selling some of the guns and knives. The seller is jsj352 and is located in Normal, Illinois. But, if you absolutely feel its a fake, you can send it to me and Ill make sure its disposed of properly. The flame Ti is in line with that generation of Strider. The stamps will vary with different batches/lots being produced.
