Why does it matter? Are you entering it in a knife show and they need the lineage of the knife?
It's a tool. Does it perform in that regard?
>>853349
At the least, I need to know what I'm paying for

>Why does it matter?

Way to sidestep your argument

Its fake. Not even blackwashed. Also the 566 line doesnt have the serial number stamped on.

>blackwashed
Do you mean stonewashed?
You can see in his other two pics that the blade and handle are both stonewashed.
>>853796
>>853799
you are both wrong - it is fake.
1st - 0566 runs on washers, not bearings, and it is assisted opening - OP's picture does not have a torsion bar (but does have a skeletonized handle which the original does not have, because that's where the rostion bar is supposed to be).
Also - the lock surface on the blade is wrong.
Plus - 566BW is the designation for a BlackWashed model, this one is not.

they should be blackwashed, that's what 0566BW stands for.
It should look like this:
