I saw what appears to be a Spyderco Delica 4. I was wondering if people still make fakes. If so what should I look for.
 
Yes fakes are still made. Stay off Ebay and buy from a dealer who supports this forum or buy/trade off the Exchange from someone with a positive rating.
 
Ebay is heavily populated by unscrupulous vendors peddling all kinds of knockoff crap. Nothing is too modest or inexpensive for them to counterfeit. Most Delicas are relatively inexpensive. Is the amount of $$ that could be saved by buying one via Ebay worth the risk of getting a knockoff? If I was going to buy one, I’d get it here or from one of the major national online vendors. I’ll happily sacrifice a few bucks so I know I’m getting the real thing instead of some worthless Chinese knockoff.

Do you know anything to look for to tell if it is a fake?

Seriously. Follow whitedog’s advice and you’ll be fine. Don’t buy knives from amazon or eBay. It’s the best advice you can get.
Delica is one of the most cloned knives in production.
 
You can likely find a Delica in the exchange from time to time at a discount. If your looking for a lower price.

Otherwise the advice here is very good.

Personally, I think paying the few extra bucks and buying
From a reputable dealer is worth the peace of mind knowing
I didn’t end up with a garbage knock off.
