Spyderco Forums

Hello to all.
I apologize in advance for my bad English.
I am new to the forum and want to get help.
I bought a Spyderco C36TIFP Military Fluted Titanium. Apparently this is not a fake, but two things confuse me. The first is the weight - on the...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I recently purchased a delica 4 in zdp-189 from Amazon, and the Seki City lettering on the blade appeared hand-etched (or poorly stamped). The lettering was uneven and slightly misaligned, some letters appeared a tad crooked....

EBay seller jian2016 (from China, of course :rolleyes: ) has a bunch of fake Spydercos, including a fake Spydiechef, for sale on eBay.

I reported the seller to eBay but I thought I'd post it here too.
These stupid fakes make me mad. Especially when...

I am caught in the midst of the toothy v. polished debate. The knife in question is a Mercer Renaissance paring knife. Felt really toothy out of the box and cut like a dream. Hand sharpened on medium and fine spyderco bench stones with some stropping and...

Please help me to figure if this knife is real. I bought 2 of them and seller states they are authentic but to me price looks suspicious. This is the link:

I also attached pictures.

Good morning. Long time lurker, first time poster. I found what appears to be a used Spyderco PM2 at a local shop. I have another PM2 I purchased from BladeHQ and this one appears to be identical with the exception of the laser etching. The etching on the...

I don’t want to post the link, but that has got to be a fake, if the site would send any product out to begin with...

The site sells a bunch of cheap knock off looking gear, no real brand names I’ve heard of, but when I saw this “spyderco endura” it...

With 11 hours to go and the top bid is only $67 I'm suspicious. Did I just bid on a fake?

I saw this ebay add for a fake PM2 so I asked the seller a question. Here's the conversation so far:

My messages in blue.
Is the item #121906642647 that you have listed an authentic Spyderco knife?

His responses in red.
do you see any...

Saw this on EDC Forum. On one hand I'll be totally honest, I would love to see a colab with Spyderco and Benchmade, but on the other hand this just makes me sick to my stomach a little.

I didn't bother finding the source, so I'll just quote the post.....

This is so disgusting. Another Fake Spyderco Military listed on Ebay:

They photoshopped the Spyderco logo and other blade markings off. You can see just a little bit in the last picture.

Knife doesn't look anything like a Spyderco, hole isn't round, but is the Dragonfly name a Spyderco trademark?

Not just Spyderco fakes, but they feature prominently.

Just bough a Manix 2 LW in S110 V. This is my first knife with a ball bearing lock. Has anyone has any issues with this lock wearing out over time?

Just got into work and got an email from a friend of mine I work with. He found some knives from Ganzo, said they are pretty cheap, use 440C steel and look like Spyderco and Benchmade had a baby.

Paramilitary 2 with an Axis Lock!?!?

So i went to a store I know sells reputable spydercos. They were closed for half the week. Rather than waste the hours drive I went to my second option a sporting good store that was nearby. I had seen they sold some spydercos and other knives but never...

First time I've seen one of these on Amazon!
Comes up when I did a search of Paramilitary 2! The horror :eek: :(

I bought DF in Zome green (from ebay) and I found interesting thing... lettering on the blade are different on two sides.
Looks like SPYDERCO VG-10 is stamped and SEKI-CITY JAPAN is acid-etched. And the font is different. And I also have the box from...

Hello everyone!

It's my first post, long-time lurker here. I stumbled upon an ad in our local ad service - some guy sells an old ( lying doing nuthing for 10 years and in great condition! ) ATS-55 Police. He was quite direct, sent additional pictures...

i was in kzoo, MI last weekend for my birthday, and i went to a gun and knife show. i was happily surprised to see spydercos, until i looked at them and knew they were clones. watch out for them

Is it possible to receive a fake Spyderco from bento box shop? They don’t offer returns so people aren’t able to swap them out with fakes, which is one positive viewpoint on that. Do they only get knives in stock directly from Spyderco?

Thanks

The YouTuber Stefan_Wolf bought a Paramilitary, and when he recieved it there were some questions he had to see if it was a genuine Spyderco. He is in Eastern Europe. He posted this on the Towards 0.1 Mircon because he had trouble logging into the...

I was thinking about counterfeits and verification recently. I guess one difference (at least) between a genuine spidey and a fake would be the steel. The counterfeiters wouldn’t use the same high quality steel as is used on models with special steels...

I know I could just be 100% safe and buy it from an authorised shop but where I live, there is no such thing. I could order it online but I’d be hit by an enormous import tax bill and customs bill too. I’d actually given up on getting one of these unless...

Noticed a Chinese company selling clones on Amazon.fr today labelled as OEM Spyderco. They even have a sponsored listing so their knives come up first :eek:

Check this out: I was browsing the website, Etsy.com, and I found this disgusting fake:

The seller is listing it as a Spyderco Claw . There is NO such thing! It is clearly a fake Paramilitary or Military.

Please contact Etsy and let them know...

Is this spyderco the real deal as it feels really well made and rugged but I have my suspicions since I am new to the amazing world of knives and therefore do not have the knowledge to decide whether it's real or not.
Thank you...

Here is the actual Amazon.com page on it:

How successful can this be?

I had just purchased a used slysz bowie off of ebay not to long ago and had a few questions about its validity. I know that there is a clone of the knife out there but it doesn't have any spyderco logos. I honestly doubt that my knife is a fake but just...

I bought a Paramilitary 2 off of eBay from a reputable (seemingly) seller and received the knife today...it is new but it does not have a letter in box...it does have a warranty card and the wording all seems legit...after watching videos on fake para 2s...

Seller has it listed as Authentic but it is clearly a fake. I messaged the seller and reported it to Ebay, but they refuse to take down the listing and some poor soul has already placed a bid on it....

The jimping is wrong, The spyderco spyder logo on...

this one is new (or used take your pick), no mention of it being modded, having the clip moved or the damage to the G10... blurry pics make it hard to be certain if it's just mutilated, or a mutilated fake.

I recently aquired a pre-owned Spyderco Police in stainless steel at a local gun show, and I am now wondering if it is a fake. The knife is in good condition considering the fact that it was at the price point of $70.00 and had okay fit and finish (with a...

I assumed things directly purchased from Amazon were authentic but some of these threads have me pretty spooked. I checked the videos and threads about spotting fakes and so far my knife doesn't smell like a fake to me, but for peace of mind I'd like if...

A friend of mine came across this recently. Looks fake to me but I thought I'd check here. What do you think? Is it even based on any legitimate Spyderco design?
