Hello friends,
I was hoping you all could help me determine if this is fake. I recently picked this Benchmade up used off a local firearms page and since it arrived I've had a growing suspicion that it's counterfeit.
I became suspicious because of a typo on the box and since have found it looks just like the spyderco spyderfly.

Thanks in advance for your help. If it's a fake I'll he disputing it on PayPal.



 
Yes... and badly. That knife does not even exist on the Benchmade catalog.
 
That's what I thought. Well suppose I'll do my homework before buying next time. Fortunately paypal is pretty good with buyer protection
 
It's like a spyderco spyderfly handle with a benchmade marked blade... Yeah, no benchmade knife has ever been produced like that.

Thanks friends. One good thing has come out of this. Now I know I want a spyderco haha I'm rather fond of the design
 
What you're looking for is called a Spyderco Spyderfly and has been out of production for many years. They turn up on The Exchange occasionally for 200-250.
 
Good luck. They're a very limited edition. Spyderco got a huge shipment from Japan confiscated and fined for them. The only models that are available are the ones before the confiscation and spyderco deciding to give up on the spyderfly. They're rare.

I think the design is great too.

Yes, major fake. Even the spelling on the side of the box...wrong.

Seriously, next time, buy from a bladeforums dealer, you'll be getting the real deal at a fair price, saving you time and stress in the end

Hope this ends well

Links to a BF dealer with a spyderfly in stock? On some rare items, you don't get a choice of who to deal with...

Sorry, quick check your right, I know little on butterfly knives

Very rare discontinued item. No harm, just making the point that with rare items, the very fact that someone has one means they're the only game in town.
