Spyderco Forums

Thanks Yablanowitz!

Hi All, I recently picked up 2 Ladybugs second hand and noticed the markings on them are different. I’m hoping someone here can help confirm they are genuine. And, if they both are, what generations they might be. The grey one is a pinned version and the color was listed as Foliage Green. The little...

I’m just pulled the trigger on the DLC CruWear! I chose this version for a few reasons: Mostly I’m curious about trying out CruWear, and corrosion *shouldn’t* be an issue with the DLC coating. I’ve heard a lot about Spyderco transitioning to S45VN in a lot of their knives, so I’ll have plenty of cha...

Thanks Fastidiotus. I didn't realize that other than the color, the G-10 was different on the different exclusives.

Still waiting for the Knife Joy exclusive to arrive. I may sell the fake and be upfront and honest about it, or I’ll just keep it as a garage thrasher.

Hi All, I just got this PM3 in the mail from an eBay seller and am worried that it's fake. The box is definitely a knockoff but the knife looks high quality (even if it is fake). My main concerns and red flags are the G-10 cutout around the compression lock and the edge of the flat grind between the...
