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.

Sounds super sketchy. Here's their twitter feed. No knives.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the name of the website has nothing to do with knives or guns it's probably fake.

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.

For all we know, this could be BBS warehouse as well.
