Is this PM2 legit?

The way the plastic is wrapped up reminds me of the way the Chinese do it. Then again it could be the Spyderco plastic that someone bunched up around the knife. It is pretty well impossible to tell if it's real from that one picture. Even if the knife in the pic is real that might not be the knife you get sent.

In short quit screwing around and just buy from a reputable dealer.

All I can see is the torque screws might be above the liner. I had a paramilitary 5 years ago and they were flush with the liner. Lanyard hole looks a bit small too. Who knows, I am critiquing to help you out...Roll the dice and save a few...I would pay extra and have peace of mind

There is a bunch of pics. Some look like it is legit others it is hard to tell.

At the end of the day is peace of mind worth $13? I think it is.
 
Theres not enough good pictures of the knife, and its too hard to tell even if there was. He offers a money back but you have to pay shipping.your better off with an authorized knife dealer this guy sells phones....
 
13 bucks difference from a reputable dealer with free shipping. anyone willing to risk over 13 bucks isnt thinking clearly.
 
Wonder if we'll start seeing a slew of Ebay sales for Spyderco clones since Spyderco dropped a lawsuit on them.
 
Thanks, I didn't notice the other pictures. Looking at them it looks real. You can usually tell the fake PM2s by where the g10 is relief cut for accessing the compression lock tab. On the fakes the relief cut has sharper corners whereas the real ones it is rounded. Also the jimping is another place to look. Far as I can tell the one in the picture is real.

Now you just have to hope he sends the knife in the picture and not a fake PM 2 instead. How do you know he will send the real one.

Just go to a legit dealer.
 
Why anyone would even contemplate buyin that knife when they aren't even sure if it's legit is nuts.
And to save $13???
Come on.
Want to get a real one?? Buy from one of the great dealers here....period.
Also, I think the OP should lose that link.

Seller has a 99.8% positive rating with 1739 reviews. I bet it's fine. But I'd much rather score one on Bladeforums. Way more fun watching the For Sale forums and interacting with a knife geek about it all.
