Good day all
I picked up an s30v Shaman from a local
retailerand everything looks good with the knife except the weight. It is supposed to be 5.2 ounces but comes in at 5.1. I'm aware that the clones are becoming more and more convincing.i disassembled...

Greetings all,

I have recently purchased my first Spyderco Manix 2 lightweight (C101PBL2) from an Australian eBay store. I wanted to check the authenticity of the knife for peace of mind.

The knife appears to be legitimate but I’m no expert and have...

This was stiff as **** to open, even after loosening pivot screws. From ebay, NIB

I got a really good deal on this knife. Reportedly from a reputable seller, but I wanted to post here to be sure.

The only reason I have any doubts is because the pivot screw is a T9 and I expected it to be either a T8 or T10 like my Manix 2. Also, the...

Bodacious was rather quick but come on even the Tenacious?

Hello,
Could you please help me and let me know if this Spyderco Military knife is original or a replica?
The date on the box is April 2012, and the same date is also on the blade.
So, it’s quite an old knife.
Thank you for your help.

Hey everyone,

I recently picked up a DLC Para 2 from a guy I met at work. Interestingly enough, throughout my knife collecting, I’ve never gone for this model before since I’ve always been more of a Manix guy. But as I was checking it out, I noticed the...

Hi All,

I want to make sure this Endura is legit because at least one other person ordered after I posted in the Crazy Good Deals thread. This Damascus Endura with titanium scales purchased from Amazon Japan.

Body screws are T6. Pivot is T8. Pocket...

If a custom knife maker makes a duplicate of a Spyderco knife for a customer purely to explore alternate materials that Spyderco does not currently use, not for resale to the public but just for that personal use, is that considered a counterfeit, or is...

I’ve reported several counterfeit sellers over the years with no response, but the last few I have received an email acknowledging the reports. Two of the recent three I reported I have received a follow up stating in part “ We looked into your report and...

Hi folks! I just got a new (to me) Manix 2 in the mail today and would like help confirming if it legit. I got it on eBay and the price itself warrants the question of legitimacy. It’s happened before and I’ve always been able to get my money back, so I’m...

Hi everyone. When the first PD#1 Endelas and Enduras dropped I first saw them on Spyderco's website so to make sure i wasn't going to miss getting one of these sprint run knives, due to the smaller number being produced in each model, I jumped on it right...

Posted here only because I can't convince myself a genuine Goddard sold for this price.

I messaged seller who verified it was purchased for $56.00 plus tax/shipping.

Does that seem wildly low for such a classic model in, seemingly, decent shape?

Did...

There seems to be an influx of fake Manix 2s on ebay from several new sellers. They even let you pick between Maxamet, S90V, and BD1N all for the same to good to be true price. They all look to be the new screw construction. The S90V should only be...

A friend of mine passed away this Spring and his wife sent me a picture of this Native she found in a plain box and was not with his personal collection . Appears to be a Native III fake , scales are right hand only and screws I think were one used on G10...

I am reposting this here:

Are any of you aware of this disgusting scam? I clicked on an alleged online knife shop ad when I was doing a web search for Spyderco knives and other brands, and this comes up:

From their ad:

Spyderco Endura...

He/she is from italy, prices are reasonable for europe ( for exlusives we have to pay custom and tax, here it is included as he is selling from Italy). Do somebody have expirience with this seller? Thanks a lot.

What is this?

Been a while since I've seen these, but they haven't gone away.

Kristi and sal and others does this look like a counterfeit Fish Hunter with some stealing of the Aqua Salt design also?

The brand is called Scipio and apparently they steal designs and alter them a bit. They copied some other Spyderco knives like the...

Prices seem very low...

Be careful, I just found a listing on aliexpress for clearly fake N5 LWs. I had never seen that before.
Seemes like making moulds is a trend for them now, after the Para 3 LW comes the N5 LW.

Hi All,
Haven't been able to find an answer to this yet, but now that some Crucarta Para 3s are in the wild, figured I'd ask. Will the liners on the Crucarta Para 3 work for a G10 build. Looking to be able to swap some Blades We Love titanium fauxmascus...

I would like to ask the hive mind a question, I have seen a secondhand Spyderco Tenacious for sale here in the UK. The knife has FRN/Lightweight scales and an 8Cr13MOV blade, my main concern is that the box that the knife is shown with has the correct...

Hi,

Does this look legit? Reason I ask is they have loads of stuff that just looks way too cheap! Massad for $89! ect...

Cheers,
Tim

TazKristi Found this on Etsy. First Caribbean fake I've seen or heard of.

Hi All, I just got this PM3 in the mail from an eBay seller and am worried that it's fake. The box is definitely a knockoff but the knife looks high quality (even if it is fake). My main concerns and red flags are the G-10 cutout around the compression...

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I've been a long time Spyderco owner going back to the days of the Merlin and integrated pocket clips.

I'm a big fan of the Spyder Edge. Can someone tell me why they aren't producing as many models in the Spyder Edge?
Thank...

Was trying to trade this knife when I was told that my knife was fake. Said something was off with the font or lettering... what do you think?

Just got a Stretch 2 XL Damascus sprint, and was wondering how durable are the scales? The overall build feels like a tank with the massive steel spine, but the scales feel like slightly bumpy glass over some sort of cloth diamond plate. Assuming the...

Hello, Unfortunately, my first post: is this Karahawk real?

The only reason I am asking is because its mechanism is slightly slanted (note last photo with slanted opening wear and circular arcs on blade). I bought from copper and clad, which seemed to...

Hi,

Just a quick confirmation needed : the label sticker of my Military is different than the one we usually see on Spyderco knife. Does that mean it's a fake ?

Thanks

Came across this website whilst browsing for Chris Reeves knives. They list a truly impressive selection of knives from different brands and custom makers--over 20 pages of them, ALL in stock, apparently. The Spydercos start here:
And if you wanted to...

Not sure if I am allowed to post Ebay names but gemstonewholesales on ebay has been selling MANY fakes and has made thousands of $$ over the past few weeks. I've messaged him nicely about it which he ignored and reported him which Ebay did nothing. Just...
