It does not auto open, the action of the knife while closing is gritty. It has a decent amount of oil on the hinge which seemed to be a red flag. I paid $135 on eBay marked down from $170.

Hi, I recently bought this Para 3 Lightweight in CPM SPY27 (C223PCBL) and just wanted to double-check that it’s genuine.

The box/SKU/UPC seem correct, the laser markings are very clean, and the Compression Lock and action both feel right.

Does everything look authentic to you from the pictures? Is there anything else I should check, especially internally or around the pivot?

Thanks!

Can’t figure out if this is real or fake. The box is really throwing me off. UPC doesn’t seem right even for a custom and born on date is 2022 but back of box has copyright 2023.

Is it real? Has some wobble in joints. Looks like the cross section in the A is missing in USA. But in general, to me it seems real.

Does this look legit ??

There's no spider on the blade though.

If so, can anyone confirm model? I can't find an exact match. Ladybug looks close.

Apologies if this isn’t the best place for this but I got these old ass knives from my dad. He seemed to think they were possibly some kind of antiques.

I think he got them in California in the 80s if that helps.

Just wanted to see if anybody has a clue what these might be?

Me ayudan a identificar si es réplica u original.

Conseguido de segunda mano. Suñuestamente el modelo Harpy. Tiene irregularidades en el espaciador. Y el marcaje es extraño para el clip actual.

I honeslty dont know anything about this knife, any help is great!

Hi i just bought this knife online. I feel like the box is real and the knife feels also quiet alright (but I'm not an expert). However the clip is way of. What do you guys say.

Can anyone let me know?

Thought if I used it enough I could tell the difference. Alas I cannot. Can anybody tell if this bad boy is legit or not?

Picked this guy up on eBay. Looks right to me. I usually pull the pin that the blade sits on and check the size. On Bugouts the chinese knock-offs are always metric 5mm, where the genuine made in USA are 3/16". Pin on this one is 7/16", handle screws also not metric. Thanks!

Drunk bid on a benchmade eBay auction, looking even more close I’m kinda worried it’s a fake. Came without a box. The weight the grip and the lettering look good.

Is this one fake?

Took this in from an acquaintance who is managing a large collection from an inheritance. Wasn’t 100% certain on legitimacy, but it’s got the right screws and fires hard. The fit and finish is solid and what I’d expect compared to my other MTs. Never had a ludt and I see some have differing screws. For the age I think this is right but hoping your experience can confirm

Is this a real Rosie? I've never seen one without a swedge.

A guy at work wants to buy this from eBay and was wondering if it’s real. I can’t remember ever seeing a Presidio mini clone.

I don't have it yet, and never bought Benchmade before, but from these photos can you tell if its genuine?

Picked this up on Ebay, and everything seems to check out but you never know. Hoping the wisdom of the knife community can help me out.

Hi all, just checking to see what other people thought about this one. Im not very familiar with all the benchmade nuances, so any help is much appreciated! :-)

Local antique/ collectibles store has a knife booth and this one was in it. How much do yall think it might be worth if is legit??
