Spyderco Forums

Between myself and my two oldest boys, our household was on a bit of a Cold Steel buying frenzy in December...three Wasps, two Counter Point XLs, two War Hawks, two Gladius Machetes, Royal Kukri Machete, S35VN Immortal, AUS8A Ti-Lite, Luzon.

It's genuine, it's been heavily customized, and it's a pre-CQI example with the more slanted plunge grind.

That's not a fake Spyderco, just a mislabeled knife. He probably bought the whole lot at an estate sale and has no idea what he's selling. The knife was in a Spyderco box, therefore it's a Spyderco as far as he's concerned. Even if he does know what he's selling and is acting in bad faith, simply mi...

They're both fake, and reported to eBay.

In the listing, the seller specifies exactly which buyers are getting the item of significant value, in compliance with the rules. FIRST GRAB BAG ORDER GETS 1 OF 2 SPYDERCO KNIVES!!! (All others are FROST CUTLERY) FIRST BUY 5 BONUS LOT GUARANTEED to include 10 DIFFERENT FOLDING KNIVES INCLUDING THE ...

eBay has rules for grab bag listings, but it looks like the seller is following the rules... "Listings that offer an opportunity to win an item by chance or contest are not allowed. This includes mystery items, giveaways, lotteries, sweepstakes, random drawings, raffles, and contests. Listings that ...

Ganzo is generally considered a bad actor in the knife industry. They clone designs by Spyderco, Benchmade and others with impunity, even going as far as taking a stolen axis lock design and cramming it into a stolen PM2 pattern. Sal had a bad encounter with Ganzo employees in the past, at a trade s...

It's definitely fake. The print is wrong, there's no jimping on the thumb ramp or choil, the screws are wrong, the clip is wrong, Sal's mark is hilariously crooked and in the wrong place, etc. That's probably the worst fake I've seen in a while.

I'm pretty sure eBay is just ignoring reports lately. I report around 100 fake Spydercos per month, and about 1/3 of those are counterfeit PM2s. I haven't seen a single listing get pulled in the past two months.

That guy sells tons of fake PM2s. I've reported his listings many times, but eBay doesn't do anything about it.

I would be incredibly cautious about buying a Spyderco at a gun show. Around here, the gun shows are absolutely loaded with counterfeits.

It's definitely real.

I've seen that same slight finish variation on black PM2 clip screws many times.

Naperville - you have a history on BF which brings your impartiality into question. History? Impartiality? I was attacked on BF for not posting pictures from my knife collection to prove that I had 80 knives. I was attacked in general discussion and whine and cheese. Blade Forums is pure garbage. T...

The many relevant criticisms of BRK are indisputable facts, and go well beyond the opinions of BF members. BF is just a one-stop shop for the OP to get all of the information quickly. Naperville - you have a history on BF which brings your impartiality into question. Don't you think it's unreasonabl...

I would suggest visiting Bladeforums and doing some research on BRK. Heat treatment may be the least of your worries.

The knife you're looking for (C122GPBOR) was released by Cutlery Shoppe in 2017 and is long gone. The only place you're going to find one is somewhere like eBay. https://cutleryshoppe.com/spyderco-c122gpbor-tenacious-3-39-black-finish-plain-edge-8cr13mov-blade-orange-g-10-handle-cutlery-shoppe-exclu...

Knife Silo is a known scam site. Refer to the relevant Bladeforums thread in the Feedback subforum.

Simple disassembly does not void your warranty. "Spyderco’s knives are assembled to exacting tolerances by trained technicians, so we discourage end users from disassembling or adjusting our knives. If a knife has been disassembled and reassembled correctly—so as to maintain its proper mechanical fu...

Pretty sure s45vn too but could be wrong

The list is outdated because the thread is almost two years old. K390, 10V and 4V have also been added to the lineup in the interim.
