Spyderco Forums

My favorite Police Model fake vendor was emboldened by beating the clock on his last auctions, even though he didn't sell anything. New zero feedback account, three pages of fakes. Police, Harpies, Para2s, Shamans, Szabos, even a Subvert.

I spent...

I am pretty darn sure these are fake:

One is a Rubicon--the other, I don't know.

A fake peddler on eBay sent me of all people an offer to knock ten bucks off the price of his Spider knife Police edition, taking it down to $65.00. Pretty sure that's below wholesale for the Police Model, and he has more than 10 available. For some...

I can't remember what year I got it.

Heads up, couple of new fakes listed. I reported them to eBay, but I thought I'd post here in case they don't get pulled.

Copy of a P3 listed as a P4, and that saber grind VG-10 G-10 with 4-way clip again.

This seller has been selling fake shamans on ebay. Thankfully they're only making 30 - 50 bucks because people know not to bid so high on fakes.

In my endless research of the best places to buy some holed knives in France, I stumbled upon this website : . It seems sketchy, especially since I never saw it before. I can't really find any information online (checking credibility of websites and...

People are actually bidding on this POS. I alerted the seller, they clearly do not care about their customers. I alerted Ebay days ago, they don't care either obviously. I think I may get in there and mess wirth this ahole. More to come.

Hello all,

I’m new here and am hoping this is the proper way of going about this. Regardless I recently sold a Spyderco Military C36GPE On eBay and when it arrived the buyer was saying it was fake. He said the date stamp and liner lock were...

Hello to all
I recive this in trade so, can anyone tell me is it fake or real. Thanks in advance

First time poster but long time owner. I recently lost my old Delica 4 in a massive woodpile and have yet to find it unfortunately, I had purchased the knife four or five years ago from a reputable online shop. I am rather uneducated when it comes to...

While the addition of Nitrogen makes the steel superior in the updated Pole Star it was unfortunate the grips went gray. Although it looks disarming and less tactical when viewed by the easily intimidated. I love my new Spyderco Pole Star.

Just in case, but it does seems genuine, right?

Thanks!

I would like to state: I do not support or suggest buying fakes, spend the extra few bucks and get something you can truly rely on and will last a lifetime.

With that being said, after a few drinks, a guy offered me a Spyderco knife for $30 claiming he...

A warning: ValorantKnife on Etsy is selling knock-off Spydercos and other brands. A lot of people are going to get defrauded.

First time poster from long time owner. I recently lost my old Delica 4 in a large wood pile and have not recovered it as of yet. It was purchased about 4 or 5 years ago from a reputable online vendor. I decided to try my luck on Amazon and purchased an...

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...

Wondering if any of you could have a look at these images and tell me if you think it's real or a fake, there are a couple point of concern for me but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks alot,
Alex

Do these even exist as fakes? I found this board while searching the net for possible fakes.

Does Anybody know if the para 3 lightweight has been faked?

I picked up an orange Tenacious off of the eBay. I only wanted the scales to swap onto an all-black combo blade because I thought it would be a pretty cool looking knife. I currently have seven real ones to compare it to but it really wasn't necessary....

Bought this on Ebay last month and while I think its authentic, 2 things seem odd.
The T8's are more of a T9 snug fit and the weight is 2 grams lighter.
Comparing boxes to a known authentic Para 3 it is 100% perfect.
The seller has 118 sold spyderco's...

Hi,
I've become infatuated with the Watu, and really wanted to see what Spyderco's titanium framelock could do (only have the SpydieChef so far).

I've found a Chokwe near me, being sold as like new . I kinda jumped on the occasion since the seller has...

Hello Guys and Gals,
Im new to the forum but have been collecting spydercos since i was a kid, and a friend recently passed and left me a box of knives and had a couple spydercos in it, one is possibly a mamba, but i do question its authenticity because...

Found on eBay, this odd Native LW with a S90V blade with a black rectangle over the 9 in S90V. It seems to have the notch of a factory second. Is this likely a S30V blade that was incorrectly marked as S90V?

Hey all I picked this up used and don’t have any reason to doubt it’s authenticity but just wanted to check. I notice that the blade tapers towards the tip more so than on my current production Native 5s. Was this normal for the older construction with...

Edit-Solved - these are the new factory markings, haven't seen them on dealer sites on this knife yet but they're on Spyderco website. Thanks member Accutron.
This is being sold by a very legit knife dealer on ebay.
100% approval, thousands of reviews...

Hi,

I was wondering if the markings on the H1 got removed.
I got a custom engraving on the side the big H1 logo sits, so I guess that might have been removed, but looking at pictures of other peoples knifes on the same side there should be small marks...

Been a long time admirer, and finally started pulling the trigger on them lately. Hoping I didn't buy some fakes?

Hi all,

Just bought a manbug salt from what I presume is a reputable online shop.
The knife has both the screws and the blade lock black coated while the online pictures don't
Wanted to know if it is a fake.

Cheers,
Ale

Hi, I'm about to buy a second hand Military, sold as almost new.
The guy says he has the bill from Knives&Tools but I didn't see it yet.
I have pics and would like to have someone that knows this model more than me take a look at them.

I believe...

I figured I'd make a PSA for those shopping on eBay, Amazon, etc.
As some of you might've noticed, there's a rise in the amount of clones being offered as genuine on sites like eBay.
It has been somewhat dormant for a while, but I see more and more new...

Everything appears fine with the knife but the box doesn't have a place of manufacture on the white sticker. I couldn't find that on any of my other 20+ spyderco boxes. Does that indicate fake or clone?

Saw these in our local farm and ranch store today.

They appear to be copies of the discontinued G-10 Flight. Are they licenced?

I dont see a way to report this obvious fake to eBay. If anyone knows, hit them up.

Long time admirer of Spyderco Knives and I finally bought some. I added two more recently but now i'm thinking my police might be a fake. Was cutting tape on a box and the tip bent.. did I buy fakes?

Hello, I saw a BladeHQ video testing the dynamic strength of different locks on Spyderco knives. The Endura with lockback failed quickly. The knife blade broke.

This makes me wonder if VG10 is not an adequately strong steel for a knife that will...
