    fake Spyderco Volpe from China

    http://yjkk.com/product.asp?productID=X2188

    not sure if the link will work for all due the possible IP restriction from the chinese side...

    4Cr13 steel

    Important if you dont have the exact shape in your eyes, clip is different than original one and the bug on the handle is not laser cut out, only painted or engraved. Comes with a red/black Spydie box, which seems to be different, no drawer style box. As far I can tell from the pics. Wasnt able to track down the producer.

    They often show a picture of the real Spyderco rather than the fake, but the real Volpe has an FFG blade so this is definitely the picture of a very "good" copy.

    Yup, thats true, but it didnt came to my mind, and I guess a lot of people might get a 'mind blocker' if they would find something like this for a decent price. But thanks for your heads up.

    They even kept the G & G signature on the blade!

    The wooden slabs besides being made out of olive wood, are screw fastened.
    I thought I should mention it.
    Best, Jose.

    I have the Volpe and, allowing for the non-FFG and the painted logo on the handle it's indeed a close copy.
    It is not so evident anymore to spot these fakes.

    They have some pretty realistic copies of Microtech, Dalton, Cold Steel and Buck knives as well.

    Here's another fake spydie:
