Spyderco Forums

Hi, I am new to the Spyderco brand and I just picked up a lot of 4 knives, 3 of which I’m pretty confident are legit, this other one however seems off.

I originally thought it was going to be a Paramilitary 2, it looks almost the exact same, but is much beefier in the hand, has a liner lock, and no jimping on the blade to name a few things I noticed. The pocket clip also is lacking a logo on it.

I am wondering if it is just an older style of Spyderco or if it a fake.

Sorry, this is 100% a fake.

Hi, Convinced:
Welcome to our forum. I'm sorry to say that your knife is a counterfeit. Hopefully, you haven't lost too much for it.

We hope you enjoy your time with us.

It looks like you're missing multiple screws as well. I'm not sure I'd feel safe even using this knife as a beater.

Do you care to share some photos of the other knives you received? Just in case.

The Paramilitary 2 I got.

The Native 5?

Lastly the Endura.

That was my thought as to the first one, thank you guys.

I went ahead and added the other ones, I think they’re real, but would appreciate your opinions.

I went ahead and added photos of the other knives, looking forward to seeing if they’re real.

As far as I can tell, the others look legit. Hopefully some other members can chime in that have those knives themselves.

Welcome to the forum!

Admittedly I am not the worlds greatest expert on this, but had the Native 5 FRN, have a PM2 and a Pac Salt 1 with a handle similar to the one you Endura has (which is just missing the clip and clip screw).

I can´t see anything on your three knives that would make me suspicious, they look fine and legit.

Where did you get (all four) knives from? Did they come with boxes?

/ And no critique, just an advice: If a Spyderco has not the same locktype as in the catalogue / on the Spyderco site this will be almost always a fake.. there are not many Spydercos who actually changed the locktype over time or come in different locktypes in the first place (prominent exception would be the Sage, which is meant to display various locktypes in the same model. Or the Manix with its backlock-instead-of CBBL variants (all discontinued though) - but as said, rare exceptions to the rule)

The other 3 look legit to me.
No one is faking an old Endura which has been out of production for years.
That would be a giant waste of time and money with a limited return potential
