Hi guys, briefly: I bought a Spyderco Paramilitary 2 in Digi camo. I have some doubts, so if someone can tell me more I really appreciate that....

Looks legit to me. One quick way to know is if the foam pad is about 1/4 smaller than the box and of decent quality, the knock-offs have a terrible foam that is practically transparent.
 
What makes you think it's counterfeit?

There are a lot more experts in this form then myself, but based on what I've seen that is an authentic Spyderco paramilitary 2.

The G 10 looks right, the jimping behind the Spidey whole looks right, everything looks as it should. The Chinese are having a real hard time replicating the digicam G-10 that Spyderco uses. It's a dead giveaway to a counterfeit and you don't have that counterfeit G 10.
 
Hi guys, thank you for your reply.... I'm also not an expert but the main thing that concerns me are these 2 "signs":




They look made by purpose since are in some way similiar, but I never saw these in other video or photo

The other thing is the lack of a sheet that I saw in many youtube review videos:

oooooooooooh good!! I really did not know what the hell they were! :D
Thank you!

The last thing is about that sheet, do you have also just that "warranty" print?
 
It's real. Best way to tell is the jimping behind spyderhoke and the scales at the back where the compression lock is. It's kind of hard to explain but the pictures tell me difinitively that it is not. That is unless the counterfeiters have started correcting these issues. Don't worry though from what I've seen they haven't fixed those give-aways. It is real as Spyderco is awesome.

The sheet is an indicator of nothing. That you don't have it is no big deal. I have bought new from licensed dealers and occasionally NOT gotten the edge-u-cation sheet.
