For sure there is a big difference. If you got the tdf that looks like a milli or red planet. Then you have a fake. There are lots of them. Even Jason Fox TDF is not the real deal.
The real one has a smooth look to it
How does one misplace one of the best looking sticks out there??? Where did you get the TDF, if you don't mind me asking? Both of those will be on my list.....again. Thanks bro!
