It may not be etched, but it may be from Pakistan. I believe if that's the case the quality may be suspect along with the metals used. With my limited experience it does not appear to be "fake". It is likely foreign made pattern welded steel. Buying it without information on the maker would be a gamble on the heat treat, materials, and quality and as such the durability.
These appear to be stock removal pattern welded knives not forged to near final shape like an abs style smith would build the knife.
