I doubt they were counterfeit but when I tried GSB blades from my sample pack, they didn't work out for me at all. I was surprised considering that this blade is so highly praised. In almost other cases, I found that the blades lived up to the hype or even exceeded them, such as with the Polsilver, Feather, and Kai.
Even with the pictures in this thread, I doubt that I'd be able to identify a counterfeit GSB. All I know is that the ones I used were rough and painful.
