Is there a fake Spyderco?

There may be other international dealers on the list that would be willing to ship to your location. Buying direct from Spyderco will cost more than buying from a dealer.

This sounds like a game of lost in translation or broken telephone.

Weird.
Anyway, I may have to order from Spyderco official website and wait for the international shipping

That would be the recommendation if you want a true Spyderco knife that is the actual steel listed etc.

Thanks for all the replies. As there is 7-day free return policy, I am considering to place order from what the "wholesales recommended dealer" and check.
Upon arrival, if it's like what exactly on Spycerco official website, then it is strongly correlated with the regulation policy, if there is no "lock" area, it can be considered as not genuine, I will return then.
 
Where are you from friend, if I may ask? Can't be that hard to locate a serious dealer nowadays, basically wherever you're from :)

I will be staying in China for a while, here has a wholesaler (can be found on Spyderco.com), but do no business with individuals, the wholesaler introduces some dealers, but the dealers only do online business, most via Taobao.
So I don't have an option to easily access physical shop to see the products.
 
D Dextar by continually failing to be specific about the name of the wholesaler and dealer you are making it much more difficult for anyone to help you.
 
Probably jbmonkey jbmonkey but he keeps insisting that some entity he is in contact with is listed on the Spyderco website. Would really be interested in the answer to that mystery because when I look up “China” on their dealer locater, there are no results.

I just don't have an idea telling the non-English name is helpful nor readable to most BF fans, on the other hand, by entering the URL, I cannot open the webpage without logging in, that's why I didn't give the name and URL, but as long as you ask.
Here is the URL I get from the APP: https://e.tb.cn/h.7qd2QsZLsOHBUOq

The wholesaler is listed in spyderco website: SCIKIO INTERNATIONAL ENTERPRISE CO. LTD

I'm not sure which locator did you access, but here is the screen capture, and as I mentioned, there is no dealer, but just wholesaler.
Introduced on the webpage, for international dealer, "Filter" on the webpage needs to be used.

assuming that's all legit.....maybe contact them for dealer list. it says that right on the page.
 
I think he did already. When I typed China I got no results but evidently he clicked something I missed

As replied in earlier posts, I've reached them out, they don't do business with individuals, but introduced some dealers, but the dealers only do online business, and selling the product image same to the right-hand side one, no "lock".
Anyway, thanks for your replies.
 
If the official distributor has provided the dealer information, you are likely going to receive a legitimate product. Just make sure the dealer has a good return/exchange policy. Good luck!

Haha, when I asked you that question I thought the answer would be Russia or someplace Africa ^^

Weird though, isn't it, Spyderco has a manufacturing plant in China, yet no authorized dealers there?
