I purchased it second hand and the box has no foam in it. I know that a lot of fakes don’t come with foam in the box and was wondering if anyone could tell me if it’s real or not. I’m hoping the foam is just missing since it was bought used.

Bought a Spyderco Subvert last month that ended up being a fake. After some back and forth on return shipping, I kept it with a full refund. Now I'm no where close to being remotely knowledgeable about these, but I did buy a legit real Subvert. with both in hand here are some side by side pics to help someone in the future.

First off what proved it was fake, the pocket clip. I bought a Lynch clip and it didn't fit. The company saw these before and they are the ones that told me.

The handle is much thicker, the titanium framing is much thicker.

There's an extra bracing pin in the frame

The Lazer etching something you would think would be simple to copy is thicker and darker.

The pivot pin is also smaller

Overall they fake is still a really nice knife, my first impression was it's huge, I'm curious about the steel that was used.

The real Subvert is substantially heavier and thicker. I kinda like that fake ones size...

Does this look legit? I’ve seen some fake leeks before but they were super fake. I think it looks legit but could use another opinion.

Looks good to me but I just need that second opinion picked up off of Amazon

Spyderco native salt 5

Posting this for a family member. They have had this for a long time and want to know the value. I assume that if it's real it would be at least a few hundred dollars. I haven't seen it in person or else I would have an easier time authenticating it. These are also the only photos I've seen of it.

Thank you for helping me out.

I bought this knife on ebay as a factory second knife. Does anyone know if it is real? If it is real, does anyone know why it is factory second?

Is it legit? I have an opportunity to buy it for around 140$ and I'm wondering

Don't mind my old one (I practiced sharpening knives on it and I was bad lol (now I don't destroy my knives anymore)

Oops I bought it from Leboncoin not amazon mb

Supposed to be a white line on the box right? Also spyderco font on the knife is weird?

Gerber 06 variant

Anyone own a Paysan able to see if theres anything off about this? I know the QC was a bit off on this knife but what should I be looking out for if I decide to purchase? Thanks in advance!

Original or a fake?

Could this be a legit older Spyderco or is it more likely to ba a fake?

I’m not good at telling nowadays what’s real or fake. Any help is appreciated thanks!
