Spyderco Fakes & Knock Offs Info

Greetings everyone! I just joined yesterday and this is my first post. I have been reading this forum as a guest for about a year and really enjoy all of the information. I have what I consider 3 quality pocket knives and I am starting to educate myself about future purchases. A friend of mine is a collector and recently gave me a few Spydercos, one of which turned out to be a confirmed fake. My question is: Would someone who is an expert or very knowledgeable in identifying a fake Spyderco be willing to look at the other 2 knives and give me an opinion? One is a stainless steel Police and the other is an unknown model, smaller green G-10 from Seki City Japan. I didn't mention this to my friend because he gave this to me as a gift and had no idea. If you could just PM me with your email I could send you a few detailed pictures. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it and look forward to being a member here.

Any sightings of fake manix 2 s30v with black button? Knife I received from Amazon (red's gear) seems a little rough in some areas. Grind was also off a bit on one side, making it a bit difficult to polish.

I've yet to see a fake Manix.
 
Big thanks to rycen! I sent him a few pictures and he confirmed that I had a genuine Police and Delica. Thanks again, It's nice knowing for sure that I have the real thing.

If the sign of fake just because there's no LH clip slot, they might just as well to put one there in the future, and then no way one can tell it apart from the real thing.

Do all Spyderco folders have a left and right mounting holes for the clip? Is that the best way to spot fakes?

Most do now so that wouldn't be a good indication. Really it was only that one particular model that had left-handed option omitted that it should've had. It's best to ask and search here if you have any doubts.
 
Someone mentioned on another thread that I should investigate whether or not this is a fake. It seems authentic to me. Any opinions?

Hahahahaha, that's the worst fake I've ever seen. they weren't even trying to copy a spydie design, they just stole the name and logo
