Will do Sir :)

Hey guys,
I picked up a Collector Club Military off eBay - I'm pretty sure it's the real deal being a numbered CC blade :)
I added a screen shot from the auction site - if the seller is a member here Thank you Sir! Saved me at least $30 :)
Anyway I'd like to know if its possible to find black ...

I'll see if I can dig up my extra clip, I picked it up from Spyderco for around 10-$12 bucks from Spyderco if your interested in a replacement.

I know the exact knives you're speaking of, there the same ones that they got me thinking

Now I'm really glad I never jumped on a second - I'd be sick to know I paid over double
Maybe one day I can visit CO - 25 2nds would last me a few lifetimes :)
Thanks for the info guy's

Around $60 - $90 sounds about right to me too. I see military 2nd's going for around $115 average but just can't ever pull the trigger being that for a few bucks more I could pick a first up.
The basic reason I consider 2nds in the first place is to have a real user that won't hurt the wallet & the ...

Hey guy's, from time to time people pop up selling the factory 2nds. I know they are not perfect (sometimes blimished in an imperceptible way) & sold at a lesser cost with no warranties with a nick on the blade around the spider- hole to differentiate them from firsts. My question is what do you ...

Good stuff :) Thanks for the link, I had missed that lock.
I'd be very interested in a new gen Military in either configuration ( not that there's anything wrong with the current production). I love how Spyderco is willing to improve their products.
Going to have to go digging through the old posts ...

Probably been suggested several million times before (but still not enough ).....
Wouldn't it be lovely.....???
DLC blade + Black (or camo) G10 + Compression Lock = Happiness!!

And not just misinformed people saying they're Sprints but actually produced knives? Particularly Sprint Runs with "exotic steels". I've found that eBay is a very effective way of finding Sprints you've missed out and I just wanted to know if there was any cause for concern.

My Delica SB came ...

I've found so many posts here, on other forums & of course YouTube with the same question regarding these models - Did I purchase a fake???
Having to ask this question in the first place makes it fairly evident that you may have purchased one of these knives from a less than reliable source. It ...

I bought my dad a cricket PE for Fathers day 2013 and I am having trouble getting the very tip of the tip sharp. I have experimented with different angles and such but I have not had any success with them. any ideas? :confused:

I use a round (looks like a hockey puck) Norton dual grit ceramic ...

I just got into this a couple weeks ago, but now that I've taken in enough info to form IMO a decent idea of how to differentiate a real Spyderco product from a counterfeit (Mostly pm2's) but some carry over to other models. I've noticed A lot more selling them on ebay as the real deal to ...

My 2013 Native forum knife has the v shape bug logo mouth, bought it directly from Spyderco. Some of the other makers may have a different bug.

The v shape of the mouth is (at least for now) an indication of authenticity. The slight misprint on the China copy's (looks like an o for a mouth) is a ...

Hmmm.. Started with a tri-angle sharpmaker a couple weeks ago for touch ups if that counts :) Heard a lot about the PM2 for the last few months so I picked one up a few days ago - It really is a Nice EDC knife - fits my needs & personality quite well.. http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k516 ...

I just had joined today, noticed all types of bugs (not the Spyderco kind either). Glad its back up & running smoothly :)

OK right after I posted this & then posted on another thread (3 double taps by accident - sorry the forum was really messed up glad its back up now). I checked "that Chinese import site" & found that exact knife with black liner's... That fake just sold for $170 :( I feel for the poor guy that ...

Triple Tap...

Very interesting. Your PM2 looks identical to mine, which was purchased very recently from a retailer who told me it was from a brand new (early March 2014) shipment from Spyderco.

Front side - Back side - Compression lock

Curiously, it also had the same rough, gritty opening action as yours ...

Double Tap..
