So I bought a counterfeit Spyderco....

[MSAA Personal]

on EBay. Go figure. I could tell from that when I unboxed it that something just didn’t seem right starting from the box and the fact that it weighed more than what was published. so long story shorter, got in touch with Spyderco sent some pictures, confirmed it was a counterfeit, filed a claim through eBay and remarkably along with the email correspondence between Spyderco and I, Ebay sided on my side and my money was refunded, once I returned the item
Then I purchased a real Spyderco from an authorized dealer on “ebay” and now I actually liked the counterfeit better, another go figure.

Thanks for your time !

There was a post just like this about a year ago. Wonder who makes the fakes?

Yes other than the steel probably being inferior and not as sharp as Factory it felt better in the hand and had thicker liners giving it a beefier feel

Wouldn't be surprised of it was the same factory that makes the Byrd knives for Spyderco.

Inquiring minds want to know....which model of Spyderco? I've seen some nice clones/fakes of the Rubicon.

Someone gave me an old beater Delica they had replaced. Screws had stripped from clip and tip was reground when it broke off. Liner is really thin. Those are plenty of knife for most people (like the thin blades and lightweight handle) but I prefer something sturdier I know will handle abuse if it has to.
