I traded a knife with him for a Spyderco Southard. I received a knockoff. After trying to text/call him for about a week, I gave him an ultimatum for today at 7pm. I haven't heard back yet, so here we are.

Here you can see a the knock off Southard and a real Caly 3.5. The you can see the difference in coloring on the logo, the one on the Southard is orangish and you can feel a gritty texture, while the Caly is smooth and is a bold black.

Here you can see the difference on the box. It's hard to tell on pics but in person it's quite obvious. The one on the right is the real box, it has a deeper gold coloring

The lock side, instead of a stonewash, is a bead blast, and the clip i received, before I ano'd it was high gloss instead of stonewash.
As per what I told him, I will tell you who he is.

Even if I'm wrong about this being a fake, I have been trying to get ahold of him for the past week or so days, he has not returned any calls, texts or voice mails. I then sent him 2 warnings, asking him to get back to me and explain himself. He did not. When he traded with me, he described the item as 'Used but like new' When I got it, the blade was pressing against the G10 side, and the pivot was completely loose. Also with up and down rock.
Thank you and please avoid this person. If I am wrong and this knife is NOT a fake, I will immediately delete/close this thread, and post an apology thread, I will do the same if he explains himself and returns my knife to make this right.
(Mods please tell me if I violated any rules and I'll close it down as well.)
EDIT: My bad, his name is BRAD Bitting.

Oh, that's a fake allright!!!

Again, a deal is not a deal until both parties are happy......
 
I just checked him out on eBay.....

I looked through his transaction history.

He sells and buys all kinds of stuff, seems to know very little about the knives he's selling...

My guess, he just flips things, and possibly had no ideal he had a fake.

That's still no reason to not deal with trading a fake though....
 
I sent him a message through eBay inviting him to join this thread, (added a link) and to fix this issue.

Best I can do.

At least he knows this is out there with his name on it.

I hope he makes this right.....

I had asked him in a text if he was aware it was a fake after 24 hours of no response, I'm pretty sure he knows this is fake. And yeah, I've taken this as a lesson, ordered a new Southard, it's on it's way
 
I'm not saying your Southard is not a fake, but I hope you realize that different makers use different techniques to create the Spyderco "bug" logos, so there is going to be a difference in the way they look when you compare knives made by two different makers. As for box graphic, they sometimes differ from batch to batch and, like most printed items, can differ within a run as well.

Haven't heard back from him either....

Guess we just go forward from here.

Thanks again for letting us all know.
 
Just wanted to let you guys know that Brian did respond...

And with all the class that comes with a guy who sells fake knives.
Guess he forgot to check the board to see that all his info is on it. (it's the same guy, I did my homework)

In it's full glory:

That Brain Bitting guy sounds like a dick but since that is not my name and the item u are referring is not something. Have fun living in your moms basement and posting on message boards. douche bag.

So did he feloniously send counterfeit goods through the U.S. mails or anyy other interstate carrier, such as USP? If so, contact your nearest Postal Inspector.

I'm sure he'd have a salty comment for the Judge at sentencing.
 
These guys are always going to be out there...

The best we can do is avoid them, and enjoy knowing that what comes around goes around.
