fake spyderco?

[unvisible805]

hi, i was searching ghost jade handled knives and came across this image of what appears to be a spyderco with the jade handles, but it clearly says china on it, and i thought all
spyderco blades were made in golden, co. anyone have an opinion or might know anything about this knife?

That's a modded Spyderco Tenacious, which is part of the budget line of Spydercos that are made in China. There is a very small chance that it is a fake as the original already has an extremely low price.

Also, not all Spyderco are made in USA, there are plants in Japan, China, Taiwan, and even some are made in Italy.

If you look at the Spyderco website, you will see that you can sort through the various countries where they are manufactured. A simple look through some of the threads would also reveal many photos of the knives will display the country of origin in the photo or as part of the topic. It's widely know and not a secret by any means.

It's just a custom scale on a legit, made-in-China, Spyderco Tenacious.
Here's a legit made-in-Taiwan Spyderco Gayle Bradley Air with jade G10:

Ahh much to learn . Don't worry, we all start somewhere

Spyderco makes lots of knives in lots of different places.

For example:

Ambitious, persistence, tenacious, resilience all china made.

Native 5, manix 2, manix 2 xl, Dodo all Golden Colorado.

Southard, Domino, Techno, Tuff all made in Taichung Taiwan

Lionspy made in Italy

Native 4 Seki-City Japan.

So USA, China, Japan, Taiwan, Italy, etc.

If you limit your knife purchases depending on country of orgin you will miss out on a lot of quality Spydercos.
The Tenacious was my first and it is a great knife.
Lots of nice choices out there at all price points.
