Well, this is United Cutlery, which seems pretty reputable
The one in the link you posted is not a knockoff, nor are the ones offered in the BudK catalog. United Cutlery did the licensed edition, I believe. A lot of Ebay auctions, however, do not have the words "United Cutlery" or "licensed" anywhere in the text, although they proudly list the history of the sword back to Gondolin sometimes. The best policy is to email the seller and ask for details, such as maker, is it licensed, etc. and also check their previous feedback to make sure others haven't bought in good faith only to be let down in the end.

Really, aren't they all, save the one I believe is now owned by Elijah Wood?
Maybe you should make him an offer? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I wouldn't even try for the One Ring, though! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Seriously, I've never had any inclination to own the One Ring in any of its forms...there is just too much irony in owning one of millions of "One Rings." Sting, on the other hand, has many uses, even though there are lots of them out there too! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Cheers!
