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.

Ordering Spyderco from Amazon comes with inherent risk. Adding China to the mix...not worth it IMHO.

Makes you wonder why a made in USA knife would be shipping from China..........

I've had good luck with Massdrop on a few pieces. Once more in case someone hesitated before.

So what is the verdict? Is this a "crazy" deal, a more humble "great" deal or just a good deal?

I would call it a good deal IMO. Not awesome, but good enough that I'd probably bite if I did not already have an S35VN, which I love BTW.

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.

I see KW has those Brown PM2s in stock. Massdrop is a little cheaper.

BladeHQ and who knows who else has them too. Guess they're back for a little while.

Hungarian is $120 at Amazon.
If somebody didn't get it earlier, I strongly advise to get one. Amazing price for this beautiful and useful knife.

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

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.

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 ;)

I had been thinking about a Dragonfly in ZDP-189 after I got my SE H1 Dragonfly. Let me just say that this thread is bad for my willpower. :rolleyes: ;)
