Legit? Seems unlikely to be so many for sale from one vendor and at $169.

Hey, traded for this on Facebook. The box looks fake, but I can't see why the actual knife would be. Forgot to take pics with it apart, but it's running SDK scales too, which I don't know why someone would throw those on a fake. Thanks for looking

TopKnife on Etsy appears to be a counterfeit seller of lots of Spyderco knock-offs. I could be wrong but the prices are too low and the printing on the blades doesn't curve.

Wow, a PM2 in VG10! :eye-roll

First Post
I really did like this knife....but I know the difference between bronze washers and bearings (see pic). Only saved about $10 over KnifeCenter/BladeHQ, so I thought it would be legit and I'd get the quick shipping from Amazon. Oh well, it's...

This MT07 has me questioning if it's a counterfeit replica. The markings include D.P.S. 15 on the blade. I've never seen this on a Spyderco knife, including Mules. I suppose it's possible Spyderco did it on this one. Odd, but maybe?

The handle finish...

The Spyderco vg10 looks wierd. Bought from onkata on Amazon

I sold my first PM2 years ago, back before the market had become so saturated with counterfeits. Anyways I just picked up another PM2 now in S45VN through an amazon fulfilled vendor who had a lengthy amount of positive feedback. While I know this can be...

Just wondering if this look like the real deal.

I should have known better. After making my ebay payment I looked at the seller's history, and found two additional PM2 Tantos sold as authentic. This one was sold as a 'Factory Second', which was ridiculous, as it doesn't have the notch.

So it arrived...

Hi all,

I bought a Delica 4 from amazon. It turns out it was fulfilled by amazon but sold by Spectrum Unlimited. The price was probably too good to be true, maybe someone can help. The knife looks pretty good, but it's my first Spyderco so I don't have...

I was showing a buddy if mine my Manix 2 and he told me he had bought one on eBay that he wasn't impressed with the edge retention with. Said it didn't hold an edge as long as his other S30V edges. We did a side-by-side comparison between his and my BBB...

Hi, Amazon has a black Matriarch 2 for$91.87, how can I tell if it’s the real deal?
Thanks

Hi Everyone, I am in need of your expertise. I have a Delica 4 Saber Grind that I just got off ebay. There are some differences between it and some of my other Seki City Spydercos. I'm not sure if maybe there are differences from different times of...

I’m posting these photos because one of them I bought recently.
Can Sal or Eric or Joyce chime in on which is the fake?
Left or right?
Thanks.

Hi can anyone tell me if this Spyderco Civilian is fake, thought the Spyderco was printed a bit skew on the blade. It has brass liners.

Hey Everyone,

I’m new here and learning the perils of fakes on the secondary marketplace. I’m trying to be causations so I’m hoping someone can comment on the authenticity of this shaman z-wear micarta model. Thank you!...

I'm at least the third owner of this knife. I don't think the guy that sold this to me was malicious, but he might have unknowingly passed on a counterfeit. I haven't heard of any counterfeit shaman z-wears before. I think there's a pretty good chance...

Hello everyone. I just bought my first Spyderco knife from a reputable, local outdoors store. However they are not a Spyderco dealer, and as it cost $100 dollars, I want to be certain it's the real deal.

The only difference I can tell from the Spyderco...

Here's one.

Fall upon that one.
Who said Spydercos are more expensive in Europe?
The ads says hand made so even better.

Not sure what to call it, looks like a mix between the Spin, Salsa, and a Walker.

Can you guys be able to tell me if this Police SS is a fake or not. I got from a pawn shop for 65$. It felt good at first, then I started looking at it closer and it does appear to be a counterfeit. There are some small things that are off. If is a...

Hey guys
I want to buy this second hand Sage 2. Can you confirm it's not a fake? Seller want about $170 for it. Is it a good price? A little used. The seller is the second owner.

I picked up this pretty odd knife from ebay and I'm pretty sure it's a fake, but I was wondering what the community thought as well. It has the same dimensions and markings as a para 2. But doesn't have any jimping and has a liner lock instead of a...

Hi folks. This was sold to me by Amazon directly. I started noticing small imperfections. Is this a fake or standard Chinese quality?

I just picked up one of these Glow In the Dark Delica 4's from not an authorized dealer, wish I would have checked the list first) and can't help but wonder (is it fake??) as something seemed too good to be true that they would even have stock of these...

Just saw a post on Reddit with a Spyderco knife. Turned out it says designed and manufactured by Cimo but it's clearly a Spyderco copy.
They also have a Brazilian website selling clearly Spyderco knives with a different brand.

Anyone from Brazil who...

Once again the master fake peddler is back.

Anyone need a fake Slysz Bowie, Rubicon or Mamba?

Hello,

New here, not an expert and the owner of only 2 spydercos. I am based in Poland for a few weeks and have been browsing olx.pl.
There seem to be a few sellers of counterfeit knifes.

I do not speak polish so I either asked my wife or...

I only basically own spyderco knives but it is interesting to watch the thin slicey lightweight frn magnacut hogue deka sell out around the world. There is a lesson to be learnt here I think. There is a market for lightweight thin and slicey especially in...
