r/KnifeCheck

Possible to tell from these photos alone?

Build quality seems to match my other Spydies. The action is great with the blade free falling closed when unlocked and the blade is razor sharp. I'm not an expert and just want confirmation from someone more experienced than I, thanks! 🙏

I found this in the parking lot at a hardware store I worked at. Turned it into the lost and found for a few months and recently got to take it home. Any idea if it's legit or a knockoff?

Pick up this guy on ebay because it had a good price but do yall think it's legit? It seems pretty authentic to me

I usually never buy knives after market so it never occurred to me people produced fakes. Would love to know if y’all are able to tell from these photos or not.

Assuming NIB as I'm going to try and find one after the price check. New to the hobby of aftermarket knives so I'm not sure how used knives depreciate.

I bought this North Fork on eBay and after seeing it in person and handling it, I'm thinking it's a fake. The action is really stiff as if it's rubbing on something. I backed the pivot screw all the way out and it still felt very sticky. Also, the blade itself is dull.

hey y’all my first post, just got this crooked river for 100 used on eBay. just looking for input if it’s authentic

Freaking out a bit. Bought used 2 years ago on eBay and never questioned until I was looking at the label just now. This was a limited run so I wouldn’t think counterfeiters would duplicate it. The knife, all the markings, and the box all look right to me but the label looks wrong. “Use” symbols are smudged and texts are different so is the R next to Griptilian. Pictured with my Griptillian 551 and Osborne 940 that were purchased from a dealer. (They gave me the wrong box for the 551) Please help! TIA!

I purchased this before thinking about how common fakes are. Don’t have it in hand yet but wondering what everyone thought. RGT aftermarket scales but originals will be included.

It does not auto open, the action of the knife while closing is gritty. It has a decent amount of oil on the hinge which seemed to be a red flag. I paid $135 on eBay marked down from $170.

Payed 85 at a comic-con definitely used i cleaned it up a bit. It wasn’t at one of the crappy chinese knife tables it was mostly collectibles, this and some Case knives. What do you guys think?

Mini griptillian, Whats the consensus...

Can’t figure out if this is real or fake. The box is really throwing me off. UPC doesn’t seem right even for a custom and born on date is 2022 but back of box has copyright 2023.

From what you can see in these pictures, does this have any red flags?
