Hi folks,
Had a Shaman knife (plane edge stone washed version) ordered for me for Christmas from knife center in November. Was put on waiting list because they didn't have any. It's going to finally arrive today. Just out of curiosity, I looked on eBay...

I was really happy to finally find a Tuff for a decent price on the secondary market.
I wasn't aware of Tuff clones having been made, so I felt safe in buying it.
After receiving it, it just didn't feel right...
I messaged them and got a response. Here's a screenshot. He's got more negative feedback in the time period displayed then there are days in the year lmao
I'm sure I'm not the only one who trolls Ebay for the spontaneous deals, or discontinued knives.
But I've noticed something that has been happening more, and more frequently... and that is the presence of clones.
My recent knife searches have been...
I bought this Delica off of knife swap and noticed that the box is showing some signs of being fake. I know that spyderco boxes have varied before, but what do ya'll think?
Hello. New member here. Wanted to get some feedback on this Native 5 that I recently purchased from eBay. I’ve been collecting knives since I was a teenager, but I never paid much attention to Spyderco until very recently. So this was my first purchase of...
I just bought a PM2 black G10 black blade S30V from a reputable seller and it seems legit to me apart from the fact that
the hardware is all black coated, including inner liners, jimping and the compression lock.
I very recently picked up a used Southard Flipper. Was there ever a version of the Southard with digi camo scales? I admit to not being very knowledgeable about Southards. The seller was a pawnshop and actually listed it as a Military. It’s in pretty...
Are there any known fakes of the Para 2 in M4 DLC Tanto from Blade HQ with the natural G10 scales?
I just bought one from Fleabay at a flipper price of $300 (I know, I know, been hunting in for a while). I spent hours and hours on Youtube and various...
Good day Spyderco forum people. I've kind of fallen in love with the tomahawk called the 'Warrior Hawk.' I'd love to purchase one. But I think I found a retailer distributing fake Warrior Hawks. I'm going to upload some links for you to view.
Hello! This is my first post here, but I've been buying Spydercos since the 1990s. I'm from Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. I own more than 300 Spydercos and I even got a small Bug Logo tattooed on my skin :spyder: :D I just registered to be able to...

I wasn't into fixed blades when the Bushcraft was for sale, I missed the boat and have been trying to get one for a couple years. I found a blank and wanted to get y'alls opinion, real or fake.
Please and thank...
I got my first SpyderCo from Amazon today - but I am afraid it might be a fake. What tipped me off was the fact that there was no warranty or any other document in the box. Also, the box was not laminated. But just to be sure, here are...

Here is an UKPK without the location of origin on the right side of the blade. Is that a straight hint for a fake or do such Spydercos exist? I never have seen any without the location, but I'm not 100% sure, if it is a must have for a real one.
Just received this from pvk.vegas. I just want to confirm everything looks okay. I was surprised at the amount of air between the blade and the handle when closed.
Hello all! Been lurking for a little while but finally got motivated to make an account and post- I just bought this Spin secondhand and it doesn't quite match the few photos I can find online, wanted to get a second opinion.
I created an account just to post this seemingly fake Spyderco Street Beat on ebay:
The markings are off and the fact that this seller has more than ten available of a knife that's been discontinued and is extremely popular seems very suspicious. I have...
Hi thanks for letting me join.

I have a Paramilitary 2 in Maxamet manufactured in 2020 that I am looking to get sharpened by someone skilled at sharpening Maxamet. I love the knife but is not as sharp as it could be. I am hoping members here could recommend someone who offers this...
I just got this knife in off of eBay. I'm new to spyderco and bought it before learning of counterfeits. I have contacted the seller and he claims it is a real spyderco, but I'd like some expert eyes.
Hello everyone and sorry for making another is my knife fake post. My Para 3 (G-10 black version) came today and to me it seems perfectly fine. There is one detail though that seems to be off when compared to pictures online and that is the compression...
