Fake check Shaman
Wondering if any of you could have a look at these images and tell me if you think it's real or a fake, there are a couple point of concern for me but I'm not 100% sure. https://postimg.cc/gallery/BHxykk8
Thanks alot,

Re: Fake check Shaman
Looks legit to me. But the picture hosting website is really horrible with popups etc....
Re: Fake check Shaman
Thanks Jim,
I'm sorry about the popups, next time I will try direct linking them.
The things I spotted that seem off to me is the color of the label on the box. As far as I know yellow means combo or serrated edge. (Of course this could have been a mix up)
But it made me take a closer look, the font and text alignment on the blade seems off. Letters don't align nicely and thicknes doesn't look consistent.
I don't have a shaman to compare it to, but looking at pictures and my other spyderco's it doesn't seem right.
Thanks for having a look.

A few things look iffy to me. Need better pictures of markings on both sides of the blade. I don't have a Shaman to know for sure but like you say there's a few points of concern.
Re: Fake check Shaman
Thanks for having a look, unfortunately I don't have better images, but yeah the marking on the blade seem off to me, the letters don't seem to align and the thickness is not consistent. And then the yellow sticker on the box, as far as 8 know that means it should have a serrated edge

Re: Fake check Shaman
Yeah it looks like the lettering on Spyderco goes from big to small but the image may be skewing it. I would look at this thread and maybe search google for other closeups to compare. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=85633&start=20desjaak wrote: ↑Sat Feb 19, 2022 9:31 amThanks for having a look, unfortunately I don't have better images, but yeah the marking on the blade seem off to me, the letters don't seem to align and the thickness is not consistent.

Re: Fake check Shaman
I noticed the label color and size/spacing/angle of text on both sides of the blade.
It is hard to tell from the photos but it just doesn't look quite right.
I think I'd pass and go find a reputable dealer.

Re: Fake check Shaman
100% fake. I've heard the fake Shamans actually have bearings instead of bronze washers.
Re: Fake check Shaman
Yeah, the person counterfeiting them proposes them with all kinds of modifications.
What seems to be one of the only visible thing is the Spyderco writings. We can see that they are not lined up correctly (like the "Spyderco / CPM S30V"

In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

Re: Fake check Shaman
Jimping looks wrong too. Should be much more triangular, not rounded out recesses.
