Spyderco Forums

Hi everybody! I bought this tenacious off a guy who claimed it’s a sprint run but I got it without a box and can’t find any info online. Could anyone shade some light on the subject?

Hi guys, I decided to sell my Endura 4 that I bought years ago and someone said it was fake. Is this true?

Beware, Counterfeit Tropens are popping up on Ebay.

Got that starmate from friend, he tells that he bought it at local pawn shop. Initially it was poorly mirror-polished (blade with pocket clip), lacked of 2 standoff screws (from remaining) and one of them as well and lanyard tube, and all of texture at...

This guy has several counterfeit PM2s that he is representing as authentic

Hey everyone I recently bought a pristine Pacific salt h1 on eBay for a great price. The knife is flawless except for the numbers BP8519 electro penciled onto the blade, back lock, and handle. I know these have been issued in the military, but I don't see...

Greed - or perhaps my acquisitive nature - got the best of me and I bought it.

It appears to be an Manix -- here are the most basic facts --

Steel: claimed: s30v
Construction: pinned instead of screwed (perhaps I was the one who was screwed ;)...

I’ve spent some time finding and reporting counterfeits this week. They’re not hard to find; any search for Spyderco will net a dozen fakes selling for absurdly low prices. Interestingly, about 90% of the listings I’ve reported recently originate from...

Hi guys,

I recently purchased two Manix 2 factory seconds from the same seller on ebay and a third open box Manix 2 from another seller and noticed some subtle differences in one of the factory seconds. I understand there might be some differences...

Why does the pm2 salt pivot and stop pin have lines cut into them? I had to take mine apart and definitely didn't know to look for it. I only noticed on reassembly.
I know the pivot only goes one way. But what about the stop pin? Does it face show side...

Looks like a rip-off of the Spyderco card?

The country code +7, formerly used by the Soviet Union, is now only used by Russia and Kazakhstan.

Bid on an auction website on a few knives. Never had one before and really wanted to try them out. After I won I was looking on the website and noticed all these posts about fakes and makes me worried. Not sure how to post pictures properly on here, if...

Hello Everyone,

It’s my first post here and I would like to ask for Your help as I didn’t find it on any yt videos or pictures.
I recently acquired a new Manix 2 in Spy27. It seems to be genuine in every aspect, but what made me wonder was the „made in...

The sad thing is, someone is buying them. Otherwise they wouldnt keep making more dumb stuff like this

looks like Torx instead of pins like the sprint run on the orange s90v

also has s110v and maxamet ones

Bodacious was rather quick but come on even the Tenacious?

Found this listing on eBay. Says it is not branded, but it came up searching for Spyderco Police .

If it’s not a real Spyderco is this legal?

These are good counterfeits. You would have to look very close to tell the difference from the pictures, but I'm sure it's glaringly obvious in person.

Hi all (my first post on the forum),

I caveat this by saying I am relatively new to Spyderco knives having recently discovered a passion for the Brand. I am definitely not an expert but I thought I would seek some thoughts on this.

I may be wrong but...

buyer beware

A new wave of them are on there.

Hello All,

I decided to buy a spyderco off of Amazon, it was the true spyderco store and seemed legit to me, and bought a black blade Para military 2, a knife that I already have in silver and love. When it got here, it was firstly, the totally wrong...

Test

Just found this online the other day. Anyone else seen this? I wonder what the Spyderco team thinks of this…

I have had this for probably 10-15 years. It came from a store at my local mall. I have not found anything like it online and I am curious if it is real.
Any if information about it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, Recently purchased an assortment of Spyderco knives from a public auction held by a public administrators office for a county near me.

Upon trying to sell the item and verify the actual model name it appears the handle & blade combo may have never...

I just purchased an REC Exclusive Native 5 Avocado knife and have a few questions. I currently own 8 Spydercos from Dragon Flys to Manix 2 and love them.

Well received the Native 5 about a week ago and noticed a really gritty/sandy sound so I did some...

Hi.I received a Spyderco Tenacious as a gift and I'm a bit confused and have some doubts if it's a fake. The box came without a label with the model number and barcode. Everything else including the warranty card/manual, sticker and the knife itself looks...

Hey guys, bought this one yesterday on the secondary, but without checking first. Can anyone tell me if it's authentic?? Thank you.

Hi all, Merry Christmas. I received a Para 3 Lightweight in SPY27 for Christmas. I like the knife. I have a PM2 in G10 that I really like, but wanted something smaller in the pocket for EDC.

While I like the PM3 I received, something feels off with it....

I’ve noticed a few blatant fakes on eBay and have reported them but they never get removed by eBay. Weird they have a method to report counterfeit knives but do nothing about it. One guy posts only fakes. Looks like he just buys ZT and Spyderco from OK...

If my box just says USA MADE not made in the USA does that mean it's a clone

Does anyone know of this site? They have deals that sound too good to be true, which nearly always mean they *are* too good to be true.

CRK Sebenzas for under $100.
Spyderco Shaman for under $100.
And many more. Good deals on Chinese knives, but not that...

Hello, a member of our French Spyderco Fan Club just shared pictures with us, saying that even this model has been counterfeited in China.

Here's a couple of his pictures (with his autorization of course, credits to Jee Baz)

No link sadly

I'd like to post some pics of a I think is a fake lil'temperance but I don't know how to post photos every time I do it says file to large.

Details are here:

Seller is:

If you want it for analysis or destruction, I can send it on.
