How do I authenticate a Delica 4 FFG (blue) ?

[HorseloverFat]

I'm expecting a Spyderco Delica FFG 4 in blue as a gift from someone that was purchased on Amazon. Call me paranoid, but with all of the talk with regard to counterfeiting Spyderco knives I'm wanting to make sure that it is the real McCoy. Are there any expert authenticators in the audience ? What should I look for in a fake or genuine knife? Thanks in advance ...

Not a real one but I play on the web.

It'd be best if you post photos. Lots of photos - both sides, up close, etc.

Fakes are mostly of the higher end models like the PM2.

I was wondering which models are more often counterfeited. Thanks.

I've seen many fakes: Endura, Military, Paramilitary 2, Domino, Civilian, Dragonfly, Manix, to name a few that get faked a lot.
