Fake.
This has come up before in the Spyderco forum.

First, I have never seen a Spyderco folder without the opening hole.

Second, Spyderco has never to my knowledge made an auto.

And third, Spyderco always marks what type of steel they use.

Oh ok Thanks . Didnt think it was real .

Spyderco did actually make a folder without a hole...the original Jess Horn.

Jazzman, off topic, but what Omega model has a Mercedes hour hand?

I'm carrying a spyderco co-pilot today. The type of steel is not marked on this one.

I've seen what might be a relative of the auto above. No spyderco marking. Wood only on one side and clip on the other. Chinese made, looked cheap but had excellent mechanism and reasonable quality blade. I'd buy the one I saw at the right price.

Dang, too bad this isn't a thread in W&C... it would have a much different topic. (with lots o' pics too!)
