Spyderco Forums

Hi, I really need help with my Spyderco Para Military 2. I got this from a reputable online knife seller, the knife is supposed to be second hand from a knife collector and it was claimed never been used... only for display. I live in Indonesia so it is...

Hi,
I need your help with my (hopefully) Spyderco PM 2. I'm not sure if the knife in question is legit or fake, because I only have a few YouToube videos and some posts on forums as a source. I know, only sending the knife to Spyderco will give a 100%...

I messaged them and got a response. Here's a screenshot. He's got more negative feedback in the time period displayed then there are days in the year lmao

Hi all, I recently got a couple PM2's as you can see.
I've noticed originally that the opening action on one is not as nice as the other, while the blade centering while closed is a bit off as well.
The lines near the spyderhole are also different and a...

Looks fake going by the spacing on the clip screws. Screenshot_20210109-182946~2.png

I saw this pair of Police models on ebay and they seem fake. The tiny boye dent, the clips not ending flat and the wrong font on the P in police, as well as shipping with a pouch.
Can't stand people taking advantage of others.

Hello guys ,
Im about to buy my first spyderco from a local guy selling his knifes
Can you help me if this one is gen ?

Good day. My girlfriend was looking for a candlestick at a local flea market, and found this for $ 18 and gave it to me with the words Look at what a cute little spider
Tell me, the original or not - there are too many fakes at the present time and the...

:confused:

My apologies if a thread like this already exists, but I’m interested to know from some of your experience, and possibly from Sal or Kristi, what things in particular might be potential warning signs on fakes (even really good fakes). Additionally, what...

This person seems to be using Spyderco's name and a box to sell junk knives. Says you will get one of 2 Spydercos but never mentions model name of either. It looks like he already sold 8.

Again, I am not an expert here, BUT both of these look like fake PM2's. Same seller, shipping from Florida according to the listings...

1)

2)

u.w.

While I am sure not an expert, this one does seem to me to be a fake.
The price, lack of jimping, screws, etc...
Camo PM2 . Seller straight up calls it a Spyderco PM2. and this seller is state side,

u.w.

Clearly a counterfeit or fake orange handled PM2.
The description says Spyderco Paramilitary 2 stylle , and the description clearly states it IS NOT a Spyderco knife.
The photos do show it as a Spyderco PM2, Golden Colorado USA Earth CPM-S30V......

I think this is supposed to be a PM2, though it doesn't say PM2 . It is marked & listed as a Spyderco, VG10 steel, made in China, button head screws (not countersunk), even looks like a tiny bit of a sharpened swedge, and looks like a liner lock...

Had a friend get burnt on Knifesilo.com

Worth another warning for newer buyers this time of the year.

Just received this from a Seller on Amazon. Add says new and the product seems original, but box is beaten up and knife has and unknown (to me) marking on the blade.
Thanks

Bought a Southard C152GPBN from Ebay.

Got it hand and it felt a little heavy.

Magnet sticks to the lock side scale (it should be titanium) and it weighs 5.2 oz (all sites seem to indicate 4.1 oz).

Presume this is a clear fake, but wanted to...

Found this on ebay they say in the description that its a hungarian reproduction.

Check this out. Rm26 is about $6 USD. I contacted the seller and he or she insists it is legit. Oh brother.

Well guys I feel that I bought a fake Southard knife...a magnet sticks to the handle. So I sent it back to the company I bought it from and they sent it to Spyderco for verification. Just wondering how long this could take??

Thanks for any information...

While I think it's interesting, I also think it's a fake.
What say you?

u.w.

I don't know if this one has been posted yet but I noticed it when I was checking out tap78s Pingo post.

Spelling errors, fake boxes and very fake Spydercos. This seller has 3 currently and sold a few more. Sadly he received positive feedback for them :-(

The FRN doesn't look right and the 'Spyderco' wording is all crooked. url= ]

Hi, I want to buy a PM2 from a local seller, but Im not sure. Is this real or not ?
Camo is the one i want to buy, and blue for additional check (same seller)

Here are some photos of my New Endura 4

Can post more photos, but been having problems with my posts tonight being tagged as spam

Hi,

I'm not sure if anyone has already reported this, but I found a fake Techno 1 being peddled over at DHGate. Saw it yesterday (August 30). Also attaching the screenshot of the seller.

Hello, I have a Spyderco Delica 4 knife but I am just not shure if this knife is genuine.
I recognized that on the top of the blade there is a line but as I see on youtube this line was straight, but at my knife this line is a littlebit wavy. If anyone...

Can anyone recommend a sharpener who can sharpen Maxamet in the UK. I've got an Apex pro but having serious issues with edge peeling. Don't want to send it all the way back over to the US. Thanks.

I am a paranoid individual. Since I received my first knife today I kept wondering if it is Real or Fake. What are some of the ways I can tell if the Spyderco Manix 2 S110V that I got is real or fake?

Many Thanks

Hello everybody,

I would like to ask for your help in checking the authenticity of a knife I recently purchased.

I strongly suspect that it is counterfeit but would like to double check.

Major reasons for concerns are:
The blade shape is...

Would love some input / feedback from anyone who owns a Salt 2...

I have owned and used Spyderco for nearly 20 years and just ordered a new Salt 2 from Amazon Spain (first Amazon order for a Spyderco as I usually buy from the distributor). It was...

I need a knowledgeable person to help verify the authenticity of my recent ebay purchase. I thought the listing was from a reputable private seller and I paid what seemed fair market value for a Native 5 CPM REX 45 Sprint, C41PBORE5. Here is the listing...

Any of you ever seen or heard of a counterfeit of the PM2 DLC?
