I really get tired

I'm pretty sure all my big site Spyder's are authentic. But, I just bought this Seb looking Sanrenmu for $6.99. I want to make sure it's an authentic Chinese import SanRenBenza, and not some US made look-a-like knock off. Can someone please help?

If the barcode looks funny it's real. It's all in the box.
 
Not trying to fuel any paranoia, but I've heard of crooks buying "real" knives from Amazon, then returning a fake, getting their money refunded, and keeping the real one . If that happens, it's very possible that a fake sent back to Amazon as a return might be sent out again to a new buyer without Amazon ever knowing that they are sending a fake. I doubt Amazon employs experts in knife authentification and that they inspect every knife to insure it's not a fake before issuing a refund or shipping the knife out.

And if you're tired of people buying Spyderco knives (or any other knives) and questioning their authenticity, I have a suggestion for you- Don't read threads about people buying Spyderco knives and questioning their authenticity ;).

Yup, it can happen with any retailer if they don't know their inventory. Much less likely to happen with a full-time knife retailer. I found a fake PM2 at cabela's that was returned.
 
I get really tired of people who complain about other people's complaining:yawn:
 
But the absolute worst are people that complain about the complaints of other people's complaining. :D
 
In a Spyderco group on Facebook at least 20% of the posts are people asking "Is this Spyderco real?". I have always loved Spyderco but these people are just looking for drama. If you don't know what you are buying just buy from authorized dealers.
 
Yes, but remember Walmart had a computer glitch last year that priced these, and other good knives down at a few dollars each. It was at least a day before they corrected it and who knows how many they had to sell at those prices?

Isn't Amazon an authorized dealer. I've found authorized dealers on the bay too. A little research and common sense goes a long way.
