Re: Fake or not
Easiest way to avoid fakes is by only purchasing knives from reputable sources. That holds for all knives, not just Spyderco. If you're in the USA, the easiest way to be sure Spydercos you've already purchased are genuine is send them back to Spyderco for evaluation along with $5 for return postage.
Beyond that, Spyderco has made over 200 models and I'm guessing that somewhere around 50 of those have been counterfeited. Some of those counterfeits are easy to spot, some much more difficult, but even the easiest would require knowing which model you're talking about and most would require good clear photos from a number of angles.
