Re: Spyderco Knock-offs, "Replicas"and Fakes

Just got a replacement for the fake paramilitary 2 and the differences are so obvious once you put the two up next to each other and start comparing. The real one's G10 scales are much courser and the camo pattern on the fake doesn't extend around to the corners of the G10. Of course the metal liner...

Re: Spyderco Knock-offs, "Replicas"and Fakes

I bought a paramilitary 2 from Amazon and I'm pretty sure it is a fake based on the info from https://youtu.be/Nys5lBn4GY0. Can anyone help me confirm from the pictures or I will answer questions. The real tell possibly is that the barcode label on the box looks nothing like a real label. This knife...

Re: Fake Paramilitary 2 from Amazon

By the way, I guess the most obvious sign of it being a fake is the barcode label. Looks nothing like the labels seein videos. Doesn't even say paramilitary 2 on the label.
