I think I made a mistake. Real or Fake?

A place to list and reference all Spyderco counterfeits, clones, and replicas that are found. Anything that isn't a legitimate Spyderco fits in this area.

I think I made a mistake. Real or Fake?

#1

Post by Jcsixx »

I foolishly and impulsively purchased what was listed as a Paramilitary 2 about half an hour ago. I immediately regretted it. I contacted the seller immediately and asked if the knife is not an authentic paramilitary 2 to refund my money. The sellers response was:

“This item is 100% GUARANTEED to be Brand New and Factory Sealed.”

Obviously, that is not saying it is an authentic Paramilitary 2. I responded to the seller as such.

Here is the listing. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Jcsixx:
Welcome to our forum. I'm sorry to say, that is a counterfeit. Hopefully, you can dispute the purchase and get a full refund.

My credit card company marked the purchase for dispute, reported it to eBay, and the seller issued a refund.

Told me not to bid on any more of his/her auctions. As if I’m the jerk for not wanting counterfeit merchandise.

Looks like it has been relisted.
