PM2 fake check, please (Amazon Direct)

#1

Post by JFTX »

I assumed things directly purchased from Amazon were authentic but some of these threads have me pretty spooked. I checked the videos and threads about spotting fakes and so far my knife doesn't smell like a fake to me, but for peace of mind I'd like if you fine ladies and gentlemen had a look. In future I'll buy from a trusted source, same day shipping isn't worth the uncertainty.

The only thing I've seen that looks off to me is that the "Paramilitary 2 Blk" on the label appears narrower than I've seen elsewhere.

Note: I swapped the clip to tip up, it was received tip down.

I see no signs indicating it to be a fake.
Lanyard tube, laser marking, edge of scale, lock tab, screws, clip all looks legit.
Amazon has excellent customer service for what you pay them, but yeah I would agree that cutlery purchases are quite risky there, unless with reputable 3rd party sellers.

Thanks for having a look, buddy. I was pretty sure it was good to go because it's easily the nicest knife I've ever owned. Time to start customizing. Thanks again.

Looks good to me but I’m no expert fake spotter. But I do own a handful of PM2’s. At this point I just avoid amazon.

Not worth it IMO.
