I recently bought a used Grail and I’m curious if it’s genuine.  
The circled part seems a little different from other Grails I found on the internet.  
What do you think about it?

(Mine is the black one.)

Looks legit, hard to tell with the low res image.  
What looks different to you?  
Looks to be the black Särskild Edition from Dec 2022.  
I have the same one for reference. Attached.

I thought the circled part of the black grail was larger. But I’m glad my Grail is genuine

Hi, we never checked fake grail but your grail looks genuine.  
Difference between genuine and fake are surface treatment from our experience in general.  
If your surface of grail are different from your yoyo made in china, yours might be genuine.
