The G-10 looks all wrong, it’s too uniform. The G-10 also has a white hue which also gives it away. There are tons of youtube videos that explain alot. Always buy from a reputable dealer or directly from SFO. I personally would stay away from Ebay, Amazon or any sketchy seller. I saw fake PM2’s at my local flea market, they are everywhere.Thanks for elaborating! I guess I need to kill some more time on Youtube. 🙂
I’ve personally bought quite a number of Spidies from Amazon (not 3rd party sellers) over the years, and they all look and function 100% legit. But they’ve all been pedestrian H1/Salt, Dragonfly, and Delica, none of the fancier and more expensive models.

The recent models to look our for fakes are: Military, PM2, Southard, Domino, Endura, Civilian and Dragonfly.Yikes! Even the lowly Dragonfly? :confused: What are the boxes, labeling, and documentation like with these fakes?

Click to expand…They try to copy them as close as possible, if you watch the youtube videos they will show you what fake boxes look like. Usually the barcode and font are off.

Has anyone besides me ever noticed the Spyderco logo actually looks more like a tick than any kind of a spider/spyder I’ve ever seen? I’ve been wondering about this for some time and last night finally sent Sal an eMail asking him about the history of their icon.Carl
BTW, nice picture Joost!
It’s a hybrid spyder/tick, the kind that su cks the money out of your wallet……jasonc said: ↑

Okay, now I understand after I laughed for 15 minutes and caused hot coffee to backwash through my nose.Such a great answer and an all time keeper for sure. :rofl:
Wonder if Sal is gonna give me that same reply. 😮

Thanks, Face. It’s a good size for me and a nice “ladies” type of piece…similar to a gentleman’s folder.
