Ebay Fakes - What do you think?

Post by Calicoast »

I think this guy is selling fakes. Nothing about steel on knives, lacking details, past history selling fakes + has not responded to any questions about authenticity.

I reported this one as well. Spyderco never made a pm2 with titanium. Plus look at the laser marks they are "off" looking

Quality is getting better all the time BUT the steel quality is always suspect.The quality of washers and other small parts is always doubtful.
I own about 4x Chinese copies for reference and approx 30 ? Genuine Spydies in my collection so far ....!!

Agree re Steel always suspect. China is very good at making things look good and look the part
but its not long before the lack of quality shows through and things start falling apart / not working.

IMHO just look at those kids Quad bike they make, look great, cheap price, hardly ever see one for sale that
says "Starts well. goes great", generally it's "Hasn't been used for a while, has problem starting" !!!

I believe fakes will be with us always. However, eBay has some reputable sellers. I have bought a few Spydercos from Bladeswelove out of Wyoming. Honest, fair and fast.

Ebay has its place, but even this seller has a 200+ rating, and this was a total fake. I reported this, + escalated it and talked to a manager, they said they were working on it "behind the scenes". Yah right, to collect their cash and move on. Seller never responded to me once about any of my questions.
