Spyderco Forums

Recently bought a knife off Amazon. I heard there's been problems recently though. The knife I bought looked legit until I saw this bit on the back though. It's got engravings like it should, though I didn't know about the W. The box says C223GPS like it...

Now I know how tempting it would be to buy these, but here is a fake I would assume since it is available in all sizes and the colours seem off.

Since I don't really have an option to go for the store and pick a knife (nearest one in 300km away from me, and the stock is limited as hell), I want to know - is there a possibility to get a knife from an international online retailer and receive some...

Picked this up a Chaparral frn from Amazon the other day and noticed a couple things that have me concerned it could be a fake.
Box was not wrapped in plastic, just scotch taped at the end.

May be using the wrong term here for a folder, but the blade...

Can someone help me figure out if this knife is authentic? Please check out the images. I can take images of specific spots as needed. Check the images at this link.

I am new to this forum, if there are instructions somewhere on a better way to...

Hello everybody,

i recently bought a Dragonfly 2 Salt from knivesandtools. At first i thought the seller is legit, but now I am wondering if the knife could be fake.
The screws and the backlock are all black, and the writing on the blade seems not to...

Hey guys. Anyone come across a fake shaman?

Just thought I would mention it.

Spyderco SECONDS (not disclosed as seconds) are showing up on eBay.

I very recently picked up a used Southard Flipper. Was there ever a version of the Southard with digi camo scales? I admit to not being very knowledgeable about Southards. The seller was a pawnshop and actually listed it as a Military. It’s in pretty...

Hi community. help identify the knife. original or fake?

I received the message after I pointed out it was fake and offered them $10to see how they'd respond.

Btw, does anybody know where I can find some scales for a delica 4, relatively cheap. I cracked one of mine at work. Dont care about matching colors.

Just got my P4 in the mail...But the G10 feels different then my P3??

Here's a regular pic (Sorry phone camera)

Now with the clarity filter on

Seems to be a different pattern. Should I be concerned?

Just bought this little pm2 on knife swap on reddit from a reputable seller and I'm just over cautious. Reddit says it's real. What say you?

Hi, Alessandro, I bought a spyderco Salsa on that site, no problem!

I have a feeling it is since I got it at a flea market. It was only $25.00, so at the time I bought it, I thought this is either the deal of a lifetime, or if not, I only spent $25.00!! Not that it matters, but it has been a very good knife and it is very...

Just a random question (I don´t have any Salt knives, but plan on getting a Pacific Salt SE):

Are there known more than maybe just a few counterfeits of SALT knives, especially serrated ones?

Other than with most other steels, it should be pretty...

Like many of us here I hate clones being a thing and despise seeing more and more advertisers pop up selling the junk. :mad:

Just now I came across a webshop when looking online for a Civilian and all they appear to be selling is fakes.
(not just...

Not only an awful fake, but an awful mis-listed fake. Enjoy

I've compared it to videos online and the one in my possession seems to be 'off'. Screws seem right. It's the etching of the logo, steel type, and place of manufacturing that throws me off. Other carbon sages have Taichung printed above Taiwan on the back...

Hi, everybody, I'm a huge Spyderco fan from Asia, it's really nice to be here, unfortunately, my very first post is about knock-off.
I just got this C127 PBK aka urban lightweight N690, and it just feels so different from my other Spydercos( Delica, C89,...

So I purchased a Spyderco Delica 4 Zome Green on Amazon thinking I would be safe since it is shipped and sold by Amazon. I then read about commingled inventory and how counterfeit inventory still gets through and is sold even when you buy things directly...

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.

got this delica think it's real but have some problems the logo on frn isn't as sharp as others I've seen, spyderco etching seems a bit close together. not very dented back lock, it's used hoping it's all legit. I appreciate any feedback

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...

Here we go again folks:

What model is that a fake of?

This one is a fake of the PM or Millie and they go so far as to have a Spyder emblem on it!

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...

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....

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:

Folding-Pocket-Knife/303152808380?_trkparms=aid%3D333200%26algo%3DCOMP.MBE%26ao

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.
