Just wondering if anybody has seen or heard of any being out there? I think like 50% or more of the Spyderco models are faked and cloned well enough to where it's hard to tell the difference so honestly get worried buying alot of them. I almost bought a clone Valloton the other day. But the jimping was so different was easy to tell it was a fake. I just plain won't buy Spyderco's off the bay any more. Espeically Para's/Mili's. I think I have seen cloned Manix's but no XL's? Is that right. I just bought a Manix XL. I remember it was at the top of my list when I first started looking at higher priced knives so looking forward to getting it. Just wondering if anyone's seen a clone XL cause would like to know if they exist.
 
I haven't seen any Manix 2 XL clones...yet. The only Manix 2 clones that I've seen are terrible copies. The caged ball bearing lock is a piece of steel from what can tell from the picks, and easily distinguished from the real thing.
