B&H legit?

[ingersoll]

Question about B&H photo.

I have ordered thousands of dollars of optics from this place and wouldn't question their legitimacy in that regard.

However, they have the words "Authorized Spyderco Dealer" in every Spyderco listing, yet I cannot find them listed on Spyderco's site.

Anyone have any information about them in regards to Spyderco?

Thanks

TL:DR
Don't buy from B&H, there are other options.

Wanted to give and update.
Took the chance and ordered a Native 5. It showed up used with with what appeared to be a file/sanded wear mark on the scale.

Called customer service, did an exchange and they offered me a discount! They mentioned it would be 4 weeks before they got more in.

5 days later my "new" knife showed up....they turned around and sent me the exact same knife back... On top of that they never gave me the discount they offered. Called two different times about the discount and they said they didn't have record of the email they sent me and couldn't refund my card the discount amount.

The knife does appear to be very much authentic though.
To be fair, I can say from my optics purchases in the past, that everything goes good with B&H when there are no problems with your order. I would recommend that you just skip the potential hassle and look elsewhere.

If they will cheat you on a Spyderco knife, then they will do so on other items as well.

To be fair, I've only made one personal purchase from B&H (a SPY27 Delica), but I had a good experience. Shipping was very quick, the price was outstanding, and I had no issues with the knife. My employer has made a number of B&H purchases recently, and they were all very smooth as well. It's a little disappointing to hear the service isn't always that good, but I think I'd be comfortable buying from B&H again until I experience otherwise.

I preordered my Sage 6 from B&H, everything went fine. They sent periodic emails letting me know the status of the preorder.
