Below are images taken from a real Iridium Super (on the left) vs a fake on the right.

Most of the differences are pretty obvious. However there are some significant differences that the photo's don't show:

1. The Box will not open smoothly at the top. The gluing on the sides are more likely to give way rather than the perforations.
2. The Blade is a different quality steel and is harder to flex.
3. The colouring does not seem as bright.

All other differences are visible in the images.
