I'm no expert, but it appears to be real, however it was modified by the previous owner, not KP. That means no warranty for you.

Really! Just because of the blade and the sharpie on the back!

Although I've heard that their warranty used to be quite harsh.

What? You're not about that black sharpie? That costs an extra 20! :DCowboyfromhell wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 4:37 pmI saw it on the bay the other day....I'm glad I let it go...I wouldn't have liked that black sharpie mod...

If you don’t like your modifications and don’t want it please pm me and maybe I could buy it and use on the ranch even though I am a stretch 2 and delica collection

You should call Spyderco to verify, of course, I was under the impression that a knife with modifications like acid washing and stone washing a blade would void the warranty. I could be wrong, so call or email Spyderco.
The sharpie should be a non issue.

It's just acid. K390 patinas anyway.JRinFL wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 6:59 pmYou should call Spyderco to verify, of course, I was under the impression that a knife with modifications like acid washing and stone washing a blade would void the warranty. I could be wrong, so call or email Spyderco.

Re: Is this normal for a k390 Endura?
The knife looks legit, just modded.. I think there is general agreement with that statement at this point. The Endura K390 is $133 normally.. +/- $20 for the Lynch clip.. the acid wash is I guess a modification that some people might pay for (not really my thing, potential warranty issues notwithstanding).. I think that if you are happy with the mods, then you got a pretty nice deal on that knife at $117..Paraguy wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 2:12 pm117 without tax and shipping and 129.75 with.

It also has an aftermarket clip.

That's what I think. Looked like a good deal. I think the clip is legit. It feels real in my hand.

Re: Is this normal for a k390 Endura?
Taken apart, very modified , yeah, it's safe to say there will be no Spyderco waranty on it. The Boomer in me doesn't understand these things. :o

I thought spyderco started allowing knives that had been previously taken apart.The Mastiff wrote: ↑Fri May 14, 2021 7:36 pmTaken apart, very modified , yeah, it's safe to say there will be no Spyderco waranty on it. The Boomer in me doesn't understand these things. :o
