PEIRFROMANCE with an I, FLEXIBIUTY iso FLEXIBILITY, white stripe at top handle iso grey. I've got one like that. Plays pretty well btw...but yes, 100% fake. There is one on Ebay.de at the moment, auction ends tomorrow. 100% fake too : http://www.ebay.de/itm/Butterfly-Viscaria-FL-Tischtennis-Holz-neuwertig-/120905797191?pt=DE_Sport_Schl%C3%A4gersportarten_Schl%C3%A4ger&hash=item1c268c0e47It has already reached 63 euros, I've sent a msg to the seller asking him to withdraw, but no answers...I wonder if I should warn Ebay too. What do you think ?

the finish and stuff looks pretty good. I wonder how much it actually costs to make a fake one

The seller has 100% positive feedback too... makes you wonder if none of the customers know that they're fake? Or perhaps he's using pictures of someone else, not realising they're pictures of fakes? |

There is a missing blue band on the handle that is very obvious. (or at least from the angle it looks much thinner than the real one)

Text is not justified. If you are going to buy this item from TB, it will cost you about $50 shipped plus local custom fees and taxes, VAT included. |

Oddly enough, "PERFOMANCE" is the way it is written on "REAL" Viscarias...
TTping85's looks legit to me too.

these one evan looks like haveing lima outer pile! I'm rly curious how it plays! I had the original one and it played rly good but it was too fast, maybe the one with limba outer would be a litle slower than the original koto outer ones. |

Seems real to me. "PERFOMANCE" is a generic error in the language BTY use.

Do actually other Butterfly blades copies exist? Which ones?
Does this Iolite blade look genuine to you? Sorry the blade and the picas are not mine so it's difficult to make them bigger or better:  Here is a close up from the text:  Here is one from the Handle:  Edited by ttping85 - 05/05/2012 at 4:58pm |

Frankly, I don't see anything wrong either. If it's fake, it's an excellent imitation. I might find the handle a bit short but it's probably due to the shot angle.
