Presuming this Southard C156GPBN is fake?

Bought a Southard C152GPBN from Ebay.

Got it hand and it felt a little heavy.

Magnet sticks to the lock side scale (it should be titanium) and it weighs 5.2 oz (all sites seem to indicate 4.1 oz).

Presume this is a clear fake, but wanted to ensure that I wasn't missing something.

It's definitely fake. The Torx size on the pivot screw is too small, and the clip angle is wrong.

Yep fake for sure. A friend recently bought one as used from one of the more popular dealer sites. It wasn't until he received it that we noticed the high grind lines and the handle was steel instead of Titanium. He ended up returning it to the dealer who sent it to Spyderco to confirm it was a fake. It was confirmed and the dealer issued a refund
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
