Spyderco orange Mili--counterfeit?

[tiburon]

Hi all,

Would you Spyderco experts please look at the photos below?

I picked up another Mili (not on BF) and the color of the G10 and the spacer look a lot different than my other orange Milis. Did I end up with a dyed/modified Mili or perhaps a counterfeit? The photos are poor quality, I will retake photos tomorrow morning.

Thanks for taking the time to look at the photos and offer your opinions.

Not an expert here but what strikes me is the regrind line goes almost through the center of the Spydie hole, the writing on the ricasso is too far from the regrind line, compared to the others. The other way of looking at it is the regrind line is too far from the end of the scale.

That spacer for s funky for sure. I agree with delphidoc that the grind almost looks like its centered on the spydie hole. Along with color being off the pivot looks to have a different sheen to it also. Might be lighting. Spyderco on the clip looks wider as well. Sorry sure its not what you wanted to hear but I would have to say its a fake.

Though the pics are poor quality, I say it's fake. The blade grind is off. It isn't shaped right out on the tip and belly. The scales are obvious. The back spacer looks suspect too. Those are the quickly things that "jump" out at me.

Just about everything on the knife screams fake. Besides the scales the blade looks all wrong too.
