Para 2 fake?

From what I can see, and I am no expert, it looks fine to me. The font, the slighty slanted jimping the texture of the G10 and the shape of the lock cutout.

Thanks! The G10 is also textured and the feel in hand is like a real pm2 .Maybe I'm just paranoid. The only big thing I noticed was the lanyard tube isn't as flush as my older one.

I get that feeling. I bought mine from a legit shop as well but still looked it over 5 times. :D
 
It’s real man. Only Spyderco has access to blurple G10. Sal had it made and made a HUGE order IIRC. Your knife is one of the best $ for performance blades you can buy. Use it, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks man! I already cut a lot of cardboard to make sure it's S110V. And I got tired long before it started dulling. Sharpening it will be a bitch however .
 
Action on PM2s can be fairly different from knife to knife. I went through a few that had blade play before I found one that was perfect. Everything looks legit and the action may need some tuning or some time.

Use diamonds and keep the edge finish toothy and it will cut forever. Try 15DPS with a 20 Microbevel. You can keep it sharp that way by honing it on diamond sharpmaker rods. The knife is truly my favorite EDC, it just works, holds an edge extremely well, and is nice and stainless for my FL salt spray.
 
Before you go messing with the pivot. Check and make sure that it has both washers. When I bought mine it had horrible action. When I went to try & lube the pivot I noticed it was missing a PB washer on one side. So I didn't touch the screws and just sent it in. They fixed/replaced it without issue.
 
I prefer a stiffer para2 action, I have no need to have a guillotine blade although it looks cool on youtube. Past that, some of the pics didn't work, but everything you posted looks dead on to my s110v version, the liner should have a notch from machining that is also a tell tale sign it's legit if it's there.
 
I played with the pm2 for a couple days now to see if it got smoother (it did have both pb washers) with no luck .The I wanted to adjust the pivot but first I removed one of the stop pin screws. I then put it back and loosend it a bit and... Perfect centering, no blade play and super smooth. Then I just added some blue loctite and all is well now. So it was just the stop pin screws that was a little tight. Thanks to all of you for all the help, I'm very happy now.
