Is my Delica fake?

[MountainMan23]

Hey all!
It's been a while since I've posted here, but I have a concern. I recently purchased a Delica 4 Vtoku 2 sprint run secondhand. I noticed that the spot where it says SPYDERCO, and SEKI CITY JAPAN looks a bit off, especially when compared to my other Delica. I've attached pictures of both, via Imgur. The knife seems basically the exact same as my other Delica, aside from steel, handle color, and the lettering there. Could it be fake? Or is this just an error in manufacturing?
Thanks!

That don't look too good. Here is a pic of the one I picked up from SFO. Your photo washes out the blade; is there a visible line of the laminated steel about an 1/8" up from edge?

There is. I also noticed just now, that compared to my other spyderco boxes, this one includes "Made in Japan" on the side, along with the usual "Knives & Accessories" and "Golden, Colorado, U.S.A."

Another thing, does yours say SUS410 or SUS310? I noticed that in the listing on BladeHQ, it says SUS310 (but the pictures show 410).

It's legit. There's been recent discussion about this. I'm trying to dig up the thread now...

EDIT: See the VTOKU Sprint thread starting with this post.

Thanks! That makes me feel much better about it.

SUS410. Looks like there's more than one of them out there. Was it ever revealed as to why some appear freehand and what percentage are this way??
