Hi, new member looking for advice on whether or not the spyderco para military 3 I purchased from [an online store] is real or fake... thank you!

If it was dirt cheap it's probably a fake. In my assessment of it is fake, it's a pretty good one. I'm no expert, just have quite a few para 3s and PM2s.

Thanks. It was $130. Just started looking at pics and got worried...

Price you paid seems in line with what an s30v para 3 would go for. That's about what they go for in stores. Based on the pictures it seems genuine to me. But like I said I'm no expert. Everything seems the way it should be though.
 
It looks ok.

Purchasing off Amazon is becoming more and more risky. Fakes, returned items, seconds, boxes that are damaged, etc. seems to be the new normal.
 
For myself the easiest way to tell is the box and paperwork. Do you still have yours?
 
Are the cloners using skeletonized liners yet? That’s how you used to be able to tell. The font on the blade was another. Hard for me to tell from your pictures, but you should be able to check on those yourself.
 
Ok, this is probably a stupid question but has the Para 3 been offered in digicam scales with a coated blade?

I haven't heard of any either. The spyderco subforum here might be a better place to inquire.

Yeah I primarily follow the Spyderco subforum here and I'm on Spyderco's own forum daily. Like I said, I've never heard mention of a fake Para 3.
