So you are saying that one could easily get a fake on Amazon, correct? How many have you gotten?

It is possible to get fakes on Amazon and some have reported receiving knockoffs. When the order is fulfilled by Amazon, you're likely going to get a real Spyderco. When it's fulfilled by a third party that's shipping from China, well, that's a major red flag and I'd be extremely suspicious. Nice thing is, you're covered by Amazon if a marketplace seller sends a fake, so you can always get a refund.
That price -- S92.38 + $4.57 S&H for blurple Manix from China -- is still up. If anybody orders that one, I hope they'll report back if & when it arrives... hmmm... maybe the distinction between G-10 & FRCP was lost in the translation.

I didn't get any fakes from Amazon, but all knives, which I bought on Amazon, I bought from Amazon. And in your case the only way to be sure, if this is a fake or not is to buy it and check.

Definitely a good deal. Maybe a great deal. Probably not a crazy deal. But I take crazy deal as a thread title and the goal being anything from good deals upward.

there ARE reputable dealers on Amazon. But stick to the US sellers. Don't order from the Chinese Bookstore selling knives.

If somebody didn't get it earlier, I strongly advise to get one. Amazing price for this beautiful and useful knife.
If someone is traveling to Portugal please bring me one. :D
My 1 month son is Hungarian and I'd love to gift him this knife some years from now.
Ebay coupon is back for those interested... Salt2 for $60 if you add $0.03 filler to your cart.
eBay.com offers $15 off $75+ when you apply coupon code PSUMMER15OFF and checkout via PayPal. Thanks alanbrenton via Slickdeals
Offer is valid today only, June 23, 2017 until 8 pm PST. Coupon can be used once per PayPal account. Eligible items exclude items in the Coins & Paper Money, Gift Cards & Coupons, and Real Estate categories.
The last time I tried an ebay coupon like this, when I tried again with my wife's paypal account, it wouldn't work because "this coupon has already been used with this ebay account." So apparently you have to use a second ebay account as well as paypal acct. We actually have another ebay account too, but I got over my desperation to spend money for awhile and the deadline passed
