Parts don't have need the LEGO mark to be real LEGO

If you've ever had a real Technic axle, you should recognise a fake almost
instantly....having said that, I have seen some genuine parts recently that have
had a formula change, and are now totes different than you'd expect.
I have no Technic axles that have any markings, and the axles I do have are mildly
rounded on both ends with a small dimple also on both ends.
Bring back that hard outer-crust!
That's all I know!
I've cut Technic axles also to a desired length, I cannot differentiate that
from a whole piece - either by sight or touch.
I am a weak responder

A red Technix 2L axle with notches on both ends are softer than their black equivalent?

It is really close but you can tell even the shine or texture can feel and look
different. But first most look for that lego logo but also very hard with technic
pins and axels but can still be done.
