Real or fake ZJK T5000 ? Please help

[Crepche]

Hello everyone , I’d like to ask for help on this blade . Is this real or fake ? Thank You !

First off the blade in photos does not appear to be ZJKALC, but ZJKT5000. You can tell because the stripe in the handle is purple (ALC is blue) and the insert on the bh side of the blade has faint text saying T5000.

Second it looks legit to me, P serial code indicates 2015 production date which is the year before Butterfly started putting the small hologram lenses in the bh side handles instead of the old style lenses that were larger and had text, or an insert that mirrors the fh side. The laser engraving of the serial code looks well defined and consistent with other Butterfly blades, and the handle inserts are placed very precisely. If it is fake it looks to be very high quality.

Thank you very much! I didn’t even realise. Also it has JTTA engraved correctly and the butterfly seal thingy.
