Just received this from pvk.vegas. I just want to confirm everything looks okay. I was surprised at the amount of air between the blade and the handle when closed.

Hello all! Been lurking for a little while but finally got motivated to make an account and post- I just bought this Spin secondhand and it doesn't quite match the few photos I can find online, wanted to get a second opinion.

On a related note, any...

Hi guys,

I'm new here, thanx for accepting me. I have few questions...

Is anyone familiar with this seller on eBay?: beststoreonline4u

I ordered it. Can you pls let me know your opinion if this is legit?

Thanx

I'm very skeptical about buying knives on ebay.

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

Hello everyone.
I ask for a little help.

I found Spyderco Police on eBay .
I have doubts that this Police is real.

Something is wrong with the logo and the direction of the lettering on the blade.

Here's another photo. It seems to me that...

Need input. It looks perfectly legit to me, but I'm not an expert, it's my first Military and I don't have any store to check another model...

Thanks in advance people. :D

I created an account just to post this seemingly fake Spyderco Street Beat on ebay:

The markings are off and the fact that this seller has more than ten available of a knife that's been discontinued and is extremely popular seems very suspicious. I...

Hi thanks for letting me join.
I picked up this police knife the length seams right and also the weight
I was told it’s from early 80s and is one of a kind. Sorry it’s not in best shape few blemishes please let my know your thoughts about it...

Just a heads up to Aussie knife buyers.
Ive come across two online stores that are obvious scam sites, both are connected imo, and run by the same person/s.
DO NOT buy any knifes from these stores.
I have contacted Kristi and given her the details, so...

I have a Paramilitary 2 in Maxamet manufactured in 2020 that I am looking to get sharpened by someone skilled at sharpening Maxamet. I love the knife but is not as sharp as it could be. I am hoping members here could recommend someone who offers this...

I just got this knife in off of eBay. I'm new to spyderco and bought it before learning of counterfeits. I have contacted the seller and he claims it is a real spyderco, but I'd like some expert eyes.

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

Hello everyone and sorry for making another is my knife fake post. My Para 3 (G-10 black version) came today and to me it seems perfectly fine. There is one detail though that seems to be off when compared to pictures online and that is the compression...

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%...

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...

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.
