FAKE Buck Smidgen knife
Picked this "BUCK" 860 up, today, from a shop in the mountains.
Sheath was a dead giveaway that it was a Chinese fake. I'm certain that BUCK never put a whistle on theirs. It was worth the few dollars to add it to my Neckers box.

Yep.
I could still buy a sheath, from Buck, to create the illusion, but it would cost more than what I paid.
Whistle didn't even work, so I removed it and cleaned the coating off.

Here's a citation to back up your assumption of its lack of authenticity... But at least it's a little bigger than the real thing, sooooo.
At least it looks like a great user!

I've gotten a few of those.
The blade steel is quite respectable.
