Counterfeit Para 3?

[Sharperthansticks]

Someone on the folding knives for sale forum is selling a Maximet Para 3 that he got off of eBay. I'm leery. Are there any known counterfeits of this knife, yet?

I doubt it's being cloned. Should be easy to tell in pictures if it's real.

That's a legit Para 3...

How can you tell?

How can you tell?

You just can. It comes from handling lots and lots of Spydercos over the last 20 years. To the true knuts with a keen eye, clones really jump out and they just look wrong. Everything about that Para 3 looked right to me. But hey, I'm human and I could be wrong...

They haven't cloned any Para 3s yet and definitely not in maxamet. I'm loving my para3 maxamet. It can be difficult to sharpen and generally easier with bonded diamond or cbn stones.
