Looking for a little help from the experts. I bought these before I became aware of the abundance of fake Spyderco knives out there. After some research, I'm more unsure than ever if these (or one of these) are counterfeit. I have a C81GPBN2, C81GM4P2 & a C81GPDBL2. The thing that first concerned me was that two of the box barcodes are suspect (in that the numbers don't touch the bars).
Taking them apart I noticed that the holes in the blades are different. Also, the brown and natural G10 versions have a date code on the blade that matches the date code on the barcode label, the date code on the purple model is one month off (should be FP, not GP). The S110V knife was purchased new, so the barcode should match the knife.
Hopefully more details are visible with the knives in their naked glory...
