Spyderco Forums

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...

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?

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:

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:
