Too good to be true
Anyone heard of Foodzinga, selling knives?
https://foodzinga.ca/2021-new-spyderco- ... pp-bowie-3
I could not find them on the dealer locater.
I want it to be true. The prices are Canadian and too good.

Re: Too good to be true
A restaurant related company selling all suddenly these knives ? I bet someone stole their name and made a fake website, or something close to it.
In the collection : Lots of different steels, in lots of different (and same) Spydercos.

If you put their return address into Google Maps, it takes you to a shed.

Saw "...pp bowie" at the end of that link and was hopeful I could get another Schempp Bowie. Guess it's for the best.
Re: Too good to be true
The biggest red flag to me is the random five yellow stars beside the name of every knife, if you're going to pretend to have user reviews at least write some.
At this point I doubt they even sell fakes, more likely the whole thing is imaginary because anyone capable of making a fake Paysan would be better off marketing their own brand.

Re: Too good to be true
This reminds me of that .ca flooring site that listed Spydercos. I think that these were once legit companies that are no longer in business. Someone is hijacking their domain names and baiting people with rare knives and too-good-to-be-true prices.

Re: Too good to be true
If the name of the website has nothing to do with knives or guns it's probably fake.
Re: Too good to be true
In the US this must be the case, but in Europe is quite different. My favourite shops are Lamnia, Heinnie Haynes and Edgar Brothers. Nothing suggest they sell knives, outdoor gear, etc. Imagine a newbie coming across those names. Unless you google it you won't get a clue what it's about.Jim Malone wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 4:03 amIf the name of the website has nothing to do with knives or guns it's probably fake.
