Is my Delica 4 real or fake? Thanks so much

Hello everyone, I've owned this Delica 4 now for going on two years. I purchased it on Amazon for it's regular price back then of $65 before Spyderco bumped it to $75. Anyhow, I will keep it short but would love for anyone to let me know if it is real or fake? Thanks so much in advance. Here are links to it:

Below are pics of the Delica 4:

I would say that it is real! Nice color. Most fakes don't stamp the label in the blade, the fakes are typically laser etched. Yours is stamped so likely authentic.

This is a fake you can see the lettering is black and not a stamped in part of the blade

Thanks so much for the reply koenigsegg, I was really curious to know because I have heard so much about fakes out there and wasn't too sure about mines. I can see what you mean by the lettering on the picture you posted. I was curious also with the font because I know the older Delica's had a different looking font stamped into the blade and with mines the font changed to a more etched kind of look where it looked a lot neater while still being stamped into the blade. So once I saw that it looked different, that's when I started to wonder whether or not it was real or fake. Your reply really helped a lot. Thanks again so much!
