TEK-MOUNT
A KNOCKOFF?
We've seen a few copies of our Tek-Mount attachment system hit the market. Here's a short guide to help you identify our USA Made Tek-Mounts vs Cheap knockoffs.
WARNING! THE USE OF NON BLADE-TECH TEK-MOUNTS IS DANGEROUS AND WILL LIKELY LEAD TO FAILURES!
We've spent countless man hours fine tuning our Tek-Mount's materials, processing, assembly, and testing. We are confident that our products advertised as "duty rated" will stand up to the harsh demands of our customers. The counterfeit products that we purchased for testing will not, under any circumstances, provide a secure and stable attachment platform. Always make sure you are using an officially branded Blade-Tech Tek-Mount.
To ensure you're always getting a genuine USA Made product, always be sure to order directly from blade-tech.com. If you're ordering on amazon, make sure the seller is Blade-Tech Holsters, and clicking the seller name takes you to our official Amazon Storefront.
WHAT SIGNIFIES A TEK-MOUNT AS A BLADE-TECH TEK-MOUNT?
There's a few things that the other guys just can't do. You'll know it's an authentic Blade-Tech Tek-Mount attachment by the Blade-Tech Logos, Patent Pending text, and the markings signifying the product was made in the USA.
We also have custom packaging for our products, and will never have chinese characters on our labels.
HOW TO SPOT A FAKE AT A GLANCE
BRANDING: The branding, or more commonly the lack of branding, is a great way to quickly identify an authentic Blade-Tech product. We mark our products with our logos, patent pending text, and Made in the USA Icons.
PACKAGING: We ship all our tek-mount attachments in custom black mylar bags. We also never use any language other than english on our labels. Above are some examples of knockoff packaging.
OTHER THINGS TO LOOK FOR
HARDWARE: During our assembly process, we use eyelets to secure the product together. The counterfeit Tek-Mount uses screws.
MATERIAL QUALITY: We source the highest quality polymers for our products and refine our processing to create the cleanest, strongest part possible. Notice the difference in finish on the products pictured above.
BUILD QUALITY: We develop our products to be as strong and seamless as possible. For example, pay attention to the seam line to the right of the two silver pins in the image above.
IN CONCLUSION...
The Blade-Tech Tek-Mount is and has always been designed, manufactured, and assembled in the United States of America. We take pride in our products, and hope that this short guide provides the tools needed to distinguish between genuine Blade-Tech attachments and cheaply made knock-offs.
