Spyderco Forums

Of course, I buy something from ebay and it turns out to be potentially fake... I just have a soft spot for well used knives, and that gets me in trouble.

Fake or nah? The tip of the blade is slightly out when the blade is folded, but the blade...

Hi everyone,
Im looking into buying a PITS(carrying is highly restricted in germany so this would fit my needs perfectly).
But I don’t want to spend money on a fake one(obviously).
Is anyone here who can have a look at these pics?:)
Thanks a lot in...

Hi all. I've always wanted a civilan and recently bought a used one off ebay. I've noticed that my civilian is a little different to the photos of others online, particularly the blade markings - seem to be more crisp and perfect on mine compared to other...

I have a knife here and im not sure but i think its a knockoff or maybe an early byrd knife . the handle was originally blue but i beadblasted it and the blade was grey but i polished it , the blade has tanwai on one side i think they meant taiwan lol and...

Hello, im not familiar with spyderco products other than theyr reputation.
Thus this seems to be slightly too good to be true

Any thoughts from more experienced users ?

The listing says it's a C101 Domino, but I've never heard of such a thing and when I google Spyderco C101 it comes up as a Manix 2.

Hey guys! Im new to the forum, but have been owning spyderco knives for some time. I just bought my first manix 2 light weight on ebay. This one had grey body and the blade steel was in s30v. Upon further into the Manix 2, I cannot find any information on...

Could I benefit from this stone if not used for resetting the bevel, just using it for sharpening or if you will, a step in honing? I already have the grey, fine, and ultra fine stones. I would use my Hapstone for serious Bevel Resets. I have been holding...

I foolishly and impulsively purchased what was listed as a Paramilitary 2 about half an hour ago. I immediately regretted it. I contacted the seller immediately and asked if the knife is not an authentic paramilitary 2 to refund my money. The sellers...

Many other counterfeit items. Please report.

Fake Used on ebay Australia

Someone posted this on the Spydie enthusiasts Facebook page so thought I'd share it.

The experts said it was fake and ebay removed it pretty quickly (11 hours from reporting it).

Interestingly he was also selling Lanyards...

Hi,

First time around here and I'm a Spyderco lover.

I recently bought a Tenacious and I would really appreciate your help regarding this knife. Is it real or fake?

Thanks!

Just purchased my first Spyderco knife, the Efficient. I have done my due diligence when it comes to researching certain characteristics to look for regarding Knock-Offs vs. Real. These are some of the things I have done to mitigate receiving a...

Didn't know these were being faked but I found this on eBay:

This seller has a lot of fake Spyderco knives for sale.

This seller registered this year based in China but now states the location as California. Low-ish feedback total. Selling lots of knives at low prices, might be worth a look.

Based in China, azls_2018 has been an eBay member since Jan 16, 2018

First post, so let me know if more info is needed.

I’ve been at this so long that fakes are pretty easy
for me to spot on eBay.

Look for one particular model
variation being listed multiple times at ridiculously
Low prices.

Look for broken English descriptions.

Look for suspicious knives being...

Hi:

I have a Spyderco Phoenix that I bought years ago along
with countless other Spydercos. The Phoenix has number
092 etched on the blade and stamped on the box.
Was this part of a numbered collectors run. Never noticed the number until I started...

Saw an LC200 Damascus Spydiechef on EBay today (reported) that was a close copy, but not a true clone, asking price was $160 lol!

Hi der Team-Members,

can you have a look to the Photos, after watching around 2 hours YouTube Videos i am 98% sure its real.

Thanks for lookig

What current or upcoming Spyderco's have ball bearing washers?

Thanks,

This knife is listed as a P4 from a TSA confiscation sale. I'm no Spyderco expert, but the blade geometry looks wrong, and I was under the impression that the G10 P4's don't have a swedged blade? Fake?

This Ebay seller is selling a Fake Bento Box PM2, and a Fake Blade HQ Jade PM2...

I recently watched a youtube video of a Chinese fake Mamba being advertised with a link to a Chinese website and, of course, a ridiculously low price. ****, it looked good but I am personally revolted and angered by these counterfeits. I kept looking for...

They're also selling it on Amazon. It's definitely a direct knock off of the Native 5.

Hi fellas,
I have a native 5 g10 I picked up a couple of years ago & it has replaced my 30 year old trapper as my everyday pocketknife. It does what I need it to do, stays sharp & hopefully will serve me for many years. However, there’s something odd...

Real or fake?

223026486863 on ebay. You have to admit, it's beautifully done. Thoughts ?

New one one me. A clone/fake that is missing the hole.

Good morning forum.

I need your help.

I am a collector of knives and a lover of the brand Spyderco from the other side of the pond, in Spain.

I was the winner of an auction on eBay, a Spyderco Military.

And this is what I received.

I ask...

Hi new to the forums but not to reading them or owning multiple Spyderco knives.

I am wondering did Spyderco ever produce a Paramilitary 2 that is either partially serrated or fully serrated with a black DLC blade?

Thank you.

Forgive me if this has been noted, but seeing so many of these on eBay being sold with no note of clone/copy is concerning. One easy way that often works for Paramilitary 2 fakes (NOT Military fakes) is to closely look at the Golden, Colorado area as in...

Listed on ebay. Has more than one for sale. All include the outside of a Spyderco box but are missing the box slide-in insert which would have the sticker with the model, etc..

Something looks off with the knife in the pictures. Torx screws look wrong...

If I want to avoid any danger of getting tricked into a counterfeit Spyderco at all, do you suggest I ignore a Spyderco folder I saw advertised on Ebay, where the shipping is free, and stick with a trusted online or offline knife seller, even if it means...

hi guys,

I am new here and need you help. I got this new Native 5 from off ebay for a very good price (price $60) and the seller claims it's 100%authentic but I am not sure. My doubts are especially screws that look weird and the clip has some strange...

Hi, Folks –

I haven’t posted here in a looong time (had to set up a new account), but I’ve got a nagging question that I hope the Spyder cognoscenti can help me with.

I picked up a Raffir Noble Chaparral from an authorized dealer when they came out...

Hey guys,

nice forum to check if you got a clone.

I couldn´t decide between the Delica and the Endura and then i found a Delica on Amazon.de for a good price.

I read something and watched videos abaout clones so maybe i´m a litte bit paranoid, but i...

Hey guys, I bought a few knives from this seller but they turned out to be fake/from china, before I knew any better. I got a refund for all of them but you guys might be interested in them cos they are selling hundreds of fake knives.

I am having...

Hello everyone, I've owned this Delica 4 now for going on two years. I purchased it on Amazon for it's regular price back then of $65 before Spyderco bumped it to $75. Anyhow, I will keep it short but would love for anyone to let me know if it is real or...
