Domino from Amazon

[AT1984]

I bought a CF Sage from Amazon a couple of months back...I paid at least $25 less than anyone else was charging for a Sage. I have no doubt it's the "real deal".

If it was fulfilled by Amazon, then I have no doubt it's a genuine item. A huge majority of their merchandise if sourced by Amazon from distributors and manufacturers. Third party sellers will often then buy some of that stock, and resell it, it being still fulfilled by Amazon's warehouses.

If it was sold and fulfilled by a third party, it still is probably ok.

That's pretty much the opposite of what I've heard from other sources. Namely that Amazon co-mingles stock supplied to them by third party vendors with the stock they purchase themselves from manufacturers and distributors. If you are correct, it would certainly lessen the risk of getting a fake from them, although there would still be the potential buy/switch/return issue. I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon, but knives are one thing I will not.

He didn't. He bought it from Amazon. If Amazon is the seller, its as credible as it gets.

And yet, the OP does not trust them, or this thread would not exist.

There are bad people everywhere.


This thread speaks more about the OPs paranoia than it does Amazon's credibility.

Yaaay! Paranoia!

I think I just read into things a little too much. I've been reading posts on fakes and how to avoid them, and saw something that raised a concern. So I thought I'd evidence my efforts here and see if anyone had a similar experience. It seems as though it was just inexperience with that model.

I'm confident now that I didn't purchase a knockoff. Everything else about the knife is the quality that I've come to expect from Spyderco.

As far as the Domino; sounds like it looks like mine...good buy. As far as Amazon, I've bought a few knives from them but prefer buying from online dealers, but not sure why. I do use Amazon for a bunch of other stuff purchases. Fast, simple, reliable.
