Before buying : Military

A place to list and reference all Spyderco counterfeits, clones, and replicas that are found. Anything that isn't a legitimate Spyderco fits in this area.

Before buying : Military

#1

Post by Ramonade »

Hi, I'm about to buy a second hand Military, sold as almost new.
The guy says he has the bill from Knives&Tools but I didn't see it yet.
I have pics and would like to have someone that knows this model more than me take a look at them.

I believe it to be genuine but I might be missing something ! Cost nothing to ask and 200€to buy lol

Here's a link to the album : https://imgur.com/a/FRT3X3F

Thanks,
Robin

I’m not an expert my friend. I have only handled one counterfeit and it was a PM2 . It was very easy for me me to see difference even down to the box . Does person have a sales history ? Hope sell goes good for you . Dan

Thanks for cheking it out ! Yeah he concluded more than 70 sales on that website, but it's a bit of everything ^^.

Watching closely the pics I got it seems that everything is in order. The Bug is really clear and clean, same for the writings. No weird reflection on the grind, the linerlock seems ok.
It's a close deal tomorrow in the morning for me :bug-red

Thanks RustyIron!
When sellers use pretty decent pictures it's always a good sign.
I'm waiting for confirmation but should have this one before next monday.
