We need a picture of the entire knife to be sure what it is, but I think it is a fake. Gerber wouldn't break their name/logo over the grind like that.

From what little I can see I think it may be a Gerber Sheridan. A full pic of the knife would help.

I agree that it looks like a Sheridan, but if you look at the logo on legitimate Sheridan's you'll see that they're all properly proportioned and sit on the flat of the ricasso. Oversized counterfeit logos are a typical giveaway for counterfeit knives.

thanks guys

i also emailed gerber support, and they also identified it as counterfeit

Sorry 'bout that.

Any uneven logo placement should raise questions even if everything else looks perfect. Also, if a mass market knife should come in a box or clam/blister pack and it comes in the machined parts tubes/sleeves you should immediately be suspicious. Some high end mid-techs may, but a Gerber or Spyderco won't.
