Fake Slysz Bowie

[motocoder]

Counterfeit Slysz Bowie. Washers are brass instead of phosphor bronze. Backspacer is plastic instead of G10. Blade looks to be D2. No Spyderco lasermarks on the blade. Pivot screws are not inset completely and stick up above surface of scale. Cut in from base of blade to grind does not look as deep as on the authentic version. I have not closely examined the box yet.

More photos available upon request.

Forgot to post where this came from. The seller is on AliExpress, and is not claiming it is a Spyderco, but clearly based on the box the intent is for these to end up in some market being passed off to unsuspecting buyers as real.

Here is the listing:

Seller is "LDIRECTOR Factory Store"

You're most welcome. I have a real Slysz Bowie (a used one) on the way. Should be here today or tomorrow :)

aliexpress.com is notorious for having fake Chinese knockoffs. Makes me sick that they can get away with it.
