Looks real enough to me .. why you think it's fake?

[HUTCHMAN]

looks ok to me,even down to the threaded portion in the wedge being welded in.

threaded portion in the wedge being welded in.

What you mean by that?  staring at the pics .. am i missing something? 

[HUTCHMAN]

second pic,bottom of wedge appears to have a "bead" all around the edge.all of my Hutch stems have this.think Hutch welded a nut into the bottom of the wedge.

[wildon]

Oh i get you .. instead of threading the actual formed wedge .. can't say i've noticed that before .. i'll have to check mine

Looks legit to me too... even down to the allen bolts.
