Spyderco Fakes & Knock Offs Info

I'd just like to mention that the use of any "fakes" is a bad idea. (Not that anybody on here would use, let alone own a fake knife.)
My friend nearly cut his finger off, when the lock on a Columbia River fake failed.
It was a fake M16 Zytel & a very good one, I had to take it to bits to find out it was fake. The liner was unhardened I think? & the liner lock had just buckled. The LAWKS lock was a fake, it moved just like the original, but failed to engage anything, so was just for show.
I'd like to suggest taking an angle grinder to any fakes & not just throwing them away, they can/probably will be very dangerous.

That's interesting. I appreciate the comments. Not to be argumentative, but in regards to the Spyderhole, do companies like Benchmade use it with permission, then?

Actually, Spyderco took Benchmade to court over that, if I remember ccorrectly, and the courts ruled in Benchmade's favor, you can't "own" a hole.

Hi OtherGuy,

I believe that you have your facts off. It never went to court, Spyderco and Benchmade reached an agreement. Probably a wise suggestion to have your infomation be accurate before posting on a public forum.

A guy who wants to buy a SPYDERCO knife not gonna buy these craps.He knows which is fake which is real.But a guy who want a folding knife and he wanna buy one of these craps cus of its cheap and says a brand that he heard.(maybe) Telling them that this is fake is not gonna change his mind because they dont wanna spend that much money on a folding knife.
NOTE:im not saying spyderco is overpiced or sth u get what i mean(hope sorry for my english)

Sorry, I heard it, thought it was just a rumor, and dismissed it for a few years, then thought about it more and it kinda made sense to my then-half-asleep mind, and I guess I didn't go back to believing it as a rumor. I made a mistake, and I'll man up to it. Sorry.
 
Post the pictures of these fakes not the ebay link please. The listings go dead in 24hrs anyway.
