Very convincing fake except for the box. USA made Delica 4 apparently lol

A place to list and reference all Spyderco counterfeits, clones, and replicas that are found. Anything that isn't a legitimate Spyderco fits in this area.

Interesting. The FRN looks right (although the image quality is poor and I wouldn't swear by it), and it has Sal's maker's mark. I wonder if that's actually the knife that you get with the fake box.

That's what i was thinking because like you said Sals mati, the FRN looks legit not shallow or too rounded, and even the box looks legit except that it says the Delica was made here in the USA and we all know they are only made in Japan. I was thinking the knife in the pics might not be the one really for sale idk very weird. Someone bought it the auction ended about 20 mins ago. The made in USA is definitely a red flag though and as real as the knife looks i'm guessing the seller is sending a different one. I'm keeping an eye on the seller to see if he gets a negative feedback. Saldy i saw positive feedback for a para military 2 that said china on the blade tang so idk people don't know any better i guess

Maybe it is the picture but the FRN makeup does not look right. It looks like some other material. However, the rest of the knife, itself, looks very convincing. The box is obviously a fake.

Or, whoever was operating the label maker that day punched in the wrong CoO and nobody caught the error. Stranger things have happened. If it came from a reputable dealer, that would be my first thought, but the only way to know for sure whether that Delica is real or fake would be to send it to Golden for evaluation.
