I recently brought a Spyderco Knife from Amazon Japan. However, I realised that the logo of the packaging seems a bit off:
Compared to the official logo has a little triangle beneath its antenna:
Is this a cause for concern? Or is it a normal Japan thing (Logicool)?

I just looked at my Endura from SMKW. An authorized seller. Looks same as yours. I am pretty sure yours is legit.
Do you know the name of the specific vendor? And if you have doubts simply return it or have Spyderco verify it's authenticity by mailing it to them directly.

Yours seems to be a special product or something.

Dear Vanish and liolaste:
Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.
The logo on the white box does not look right.
Stay safe,
Mike

On all the real logos I've seen the center legs merge together as they join the body.

Thanks all for your helpful replies. I shall now contact Amazon to see if I can get a refund.
