Spyderco Fakes & Knock Offs Info

Shao said:
There are good sellers on Ebay. Don't condemn the whole source just because there are some bad seeds. Use common sense. I've bought tons of Spydies off the bay and have never gotten a fake. But then I bought one off of Amazon and was shipped a 100% fake knife. I think Amazon is more rife with counterfeits than Ebay. Anyone can sell on Amazon too and you don't even have to pay listing fees.

No chance.
 
How do you spot the Fakes. I bought a Paramilitary and Military today and i wouldn't know how to spot it. The paramilitary i got from here so less worried about it. But Military i got from fleabay and this guy has a couple other complaints about Spyderco Damascus Fakes that i didn't check before bidding. So worried now. It has the box and all the right serial # and product keys and everything i believe. Do the fakes get copied that well. Had the same problem with Fallkniven. Bought like 4 from a seller in India, thought i was getting a super deal thinking since the steel is made in Japan maybe these Indians got them for cheaper prices or something. They WERE LISTED AS HAVING VG-10 and had no clone or fake written anywhere in description. I asked him if it was indeed VG-10 and he told me no was 440 or something didn't really have a anwser so got a refund immediately.Luckily weren't shipped yet. But kinda put me off from Fallkniven. But the sheaths had different design than originals that would be the only way could tell from picture. I am wondering if any body has heard of Spyderco Military Fakes? Cause i haven't seen any but today either got a good deal or a fake Military. It's a c36gpbk model.

Ive got a new way of presenting myself to sellers who slang fakes, have yet to get a reply and a few have been ended early :p

"Dear williamc8886,

Hello is this a fake? Also the southard and military you have up? If I get it and its a fake I will leave negative feedback & file a dispute. Thanks for the input. Cant be too careful with all the snakes out there that have absolutely no honor. Not sure how these parasites sleep at night."

I'm going to get an Endura 4. I want to see why Spyderco is so darn popular. I know it's the Japanese version but they are priced well and I can probably swing it. I can just tell the wife that it's a high end bubble wand for the kids.

Is there anything I should look for? I'm really glad about this thread at this time by the way.
 
So in our local classified adds a guy has a Spyderco listed
It was for a good price, so I arranged to meet him
It is about a 20minute drive to meet him
I get there and end up waiting for about 10 minutes for him

This young gangster looking guy shows up and passes me the knife
I tell him it is a knockoff and hand it back
He said "do you know how much a real Spyderco is"
I said yes
He said "thanks for wasting my time"

I said I am not the one calling a knockoff a Spyderco in an add

This wasn't a knockoff it was a counterfeit as it had all the Spyderco logos and such on it
 
check these out .boxes have the hints of fake, on box alone, letters don't touch the barcode the spider triangle,http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spyderco-Pa...202?pt=Collectible_Knives&hash=item3f35824fca

check out the email i got back after i asked real or fake
Hi there..
Well, I have had a few returned Because they were not 100% happy and thought they may be good replicas, But the other 90% are very happy. I bought 1000 and they are authentic. I do offer returns with no questions because of this. I also added in the ad, "High Copy" just incase, ya know? The actual knife pictured is the actually one being shipped too!

I was told you can tell by the box itself..The numbers under the barcode should go right up to barcode no space like the box you show..

I could not figure out what this meant: "Spyderco also said the claim they are OEM instead of saying fake [.]"
 
Let's see some pics of real spyderco military barcodes. I have heard the black foam liner on a real one isn't perfectly fitted to the box.

I emailed this guy, and here's his response.

"Please don't call me names. I am not sure what your referring too but I assume since you sent me a message from the Spyderco Detail page its about the knife.
I offer 100% refunds on these very nice high copy Spyderco knives so if you or anyone else doesnt LOVE IT, they can return for all there money back.
Also, I only get about 1/10 knives returned..
I do offer returns/refunds with no questions asked on all my items so all my customers can rest assure! I added the "High Copy" just incase, ya know?
Thanks"

Here's my response back to him.

"You're taking advantage of people who don't know better. You're listing the knife as a Spyderco Paramilitary 2, which it is not. It's a cheesy chinese COUNTERFEIT. You're charging just as much as many people pay for the real deal. Whether or not it's a good knife is irrelevant, you're a parasite to the knife community. Your customers deserve the knife they're trying to buy, not a knockoff you bought for $20 of aliexpress."
 
I got this fake Ladybug via a passaround-box on another forum last year:

I liked it so much that immediately bought a real one.

I contacted Spyderco and they said this :: , "Thanks for posting. Those are counterfeit. We do not have ANY OEM models. The new trend seems to be calling them OEM instead of fake". OEM is original equipment manufacturer
 
Reported the guy on ebay selling the counter-fit PM2 both his listings have removed.Looks like ebay finally stepping up
