Phillll sent me all of the correspondence from the guy and it was whacked out. Just got my money back and called it a day. I know I should mess up his feedback but I know it would just bite me in the butt. I've got too many knives to sell and been out of work for too long to burn that bridge.
You would not be messing up his feedback, he did that by selling you a fake spyderco. It's almost irresponsible to not say so in his feedback? You know the quote, "All it takes for evil to triumph, is for a good man to do nothing." The dillweed keeps sending me messages even though I had eBay block him. How he got around it is beyond me. We need to be stand together. Too bad there is no code guru here that would help take up arms...
I don't need that douchebag hassling me. As far as doing nothing, I gave you all a heads up and now he's sending nasty messages. I don't need that crap. Believe me, I've got more than enough hassles to deal with. And if you don't believe me I'll PM you some photos of my newest surgeries. "Dillweed's" messages will start looking better.
I don't even know what that is trying to be.
Just joined the forum and real glad I found this thread. I recently picked up a new Southard from a reputable Canadian dealer but I really went over it with a magnifying glass. I am sure I have
the real deal with mine. Also have a Viele I picked up some years ago and am now looking at a Military. Must suck the big one for Spyderco to have to deal with this crap on a daily basis. China is
the biggest counterfeiting country in the world. Knives are just a fraction of what they do. I saw a Breitling watch that was almost impossible to tell from the real thing.
I recently purchased a Spyderco PM2 off amazon and while its a great knife, and cannot help but feel I may have a fake on my hands. Just a few minor quirks/quality issues that make me feel this way, especially considering the price of this knife.
Issues I've found with mine:
1. I know this is a problem with PM2, but theres a lot of blade play on my knife side to side.
2. Right by the spydie hole finger hole, where the blade steps down going towards the tip, the step down is more prominent on one side than the other. See pic below- left side is almost completely flat, while the right side steps down as it goes towards the tip
3. The compression lock sticks when i need to depress it to close the knife
4. One side of the liners has small nick right at the edge, not sure if its just mine or all of them come like this. (Picture below)
