Why you should not buy a fake.

A place to list and reference all Spyderco counterfeits, clones, and replicas that are found. Anything that isn't a legitimate Spyderco fits in this area.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!! That is just far too funny...

My question is, why even buy them, and secondly, why make a video about it?

"Replica" is giving that POS way more credit than it deserves. It's pretty pathetic you can see shiny spots on the edge even in that grainy video.

Is that dude a mute?

If you ever needed a reason not to buy a fake, there you go...
Clearly this dude has no taste in knives, come on, did you see that awfully designed flipper? I also dont know why Smith continues to put their name on second rate chinese BS knives, instead of creating decent blades and furthering the prestige of the S&W name.

I like how at the end of the video he zooms in on the blade and is cheking out how sharp it isn't. This knife just makes my laugh.

Try sending that to Spyderco! I am still wondering how many knockoffs they get sent for repair, and refused telling them it's a fake. Do you think they keep track? I would think so.

You mean the quality is not good on Spyderco FAKES??? I am shocked. He could probably buy at least a Grasshopper or Kiwi with the money he spent on those.

While funny, I hate to see something like that on Youtube in case some newbie thinks it is a real Spyderco. Although I agree that a damascus native would be really cool, I think I'll wait for Sal and the gang to make it.
The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Its a shame this happens to people and its also a shame people try to spend as little money as possible on such a valuable tool. There once was a time when you're life depended on having a knife to perform many task. I have to admit it is hilarious though. I just hope no one thinks its real or ever mistakes these horrible fakes as real. Anything to make a buck though. A fool and his gold are soon parted. This is why all fools should let me hold their gold for safe keeping ;)

Not quite sure what this dude's intention was when he posted this video. I also don't understand why people waste their money on obvious crapola knives! Actually this video makes me mad! I hate crappy knives!

Something like this: "Dear Spyderco, I am very dissapointed of your products. I just bought a 10$ Native, a real bargain only to find out a couple days later that it's a fake, imagine that!" :rolleyes:

I need that game show sound when they pick the door with no prize, wa waaa waaaaaaaa
The first video is much funnier than the second, I was hoping it would break again, maybe not closing or something.
I understand getting a deal and all that, but can you show off a knock-off to your friends and still feel cool? :confused:

Perhaps one should not buy a fake, simply because it's the honorable thing to do? An old fashioned and diminishing value, no doubt, but one that offers pride for some beyond the financial?

I know that if I handmade a knife and put a hole in it, I would send it into :spyder: :spider:Heaven for inspection (and possibly serration :D )
