Saw this on ebay the other day. Looks a lot like a spyderco rookie but is being sold under the "Navy" brand right from China. Not sure if this is considered an actual "fake" or if it's just a cheap legal knock off. I would imagine that the trademark spyderco hole would make it an illegal fake.

Definitely not a Spyderco. Aside from the name, the other tip offs that it's not a Rookie are the size (it's too big) and the 50/50 choil, which the Rookie does not have. I'd call it a blend of a Police style blade and a Byrd G-10 Cara Cara style handle. As you noted, at the very least the round hole opener is a violation of Spyderco's trademark.

Was wondering if its really 440C steel such as American manufactures use.

Its hard to take a company that deals in knock offs as reliable. Whether or not its real 440C, its highly derivative of Spyderco's products. The handle looks like a straight copy of the Cara Cara. The blade is a rip-off of the Police/Rookie. Is the 440C really 440C? Who knows?Originally Posted by fast.ed
