Spyderco Forums

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.

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....

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 it to be...

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...

If you people could double check me on this PM2 it would be greatly appreciated.

Some already rerported, it appears to be widespread..
Multiple websites that all claim to be selling Spyderco knives in Canada are all cloned and all fake. Just for stealing credit card info.
The domains are all recently registered and were previously...

Don’t know how to post a picture, but my uncle went gambling in Macau, and brought me back a stretch 2 as a gift, only problem is it has a axis lock and g10 scales., a weird thing is the steel
This thing might be M390(BÖHLER SPECIAL STEELS (SHANGHAI)...

Hi, sorry to burden you all with yet another fake check, but I recently fell into the knife addiction, spent a small fortune this month and purchased a few Spydercos and then found out about all these fakes going around and became paranoid and am looking...

Hi, I am new to the Spyderco brand and I just picked up a lot of 4 knives, 3 of which I’m pretty confident are legit, this other one however seems off.

I originally thought it was going to be a Paramilitary 2, it looks almost the exact same, but is much...

Hello,
Does anyone know what this symbol is? I bought the Delica off Amazon. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Robert

This is a small sample of what's on eBay right now. Ebay needs to step up and remove this crap.

Hi all,
Just got this PM2 second hand and must admit I’m a little suspicious about the originality of it. What does people think?

I just came across some ebay listings for what appears to be a Rubicon with G10 scales and an S30V blade, and the seller claims it’s authentic “but I don’t think they were sold in the US”. The claim is that they are totally authentic, but were an...

Being a little sad that I'm not able to buy the Para 3 Lw s90v (the Teal one) because Nationalknives has stopped international shipping, i turned myself towards the used market.

I've found a Native 5 s90v in Fluted Carbon Fiber for 220€. It looks like...

Hi Guys,

My first post but I've been lurking on this forum for a while.
Be aware of this site if you are from the UK....

Like a fool I purchased a knife from here, it was the only UK site which had the knife I wanted that was on sale (**** you greedy...

Hey folks,

Long time no see, I'm coming back to see if someone can help me determine if this C36 is a genuine article.
I know there's been an orange G10 S30V model in the past, but the Spyder's position on the blade feels off.
Here's the link :

TIA...

Are there any bona fide ways to make sure the SM I received is legit? I recognize that a whole sharpmaker is going to be a difficult thing to clone exactly, and so far the actual article I received seems OK.

The seller seriously weirded me out though, I...

Seems legit but I have never owned a Spyderco before and wanted to get a second opinion as Amazon can be iffy I have read.

I didn't get a photo of it but the box does have a proper looking barcode sticker as well

Hello all,

Been looking at Spyderco knives and came across this site.
