Spyderco Tenacious Fake or Real ???

Hi.I received a Spyderco Tenacious as a gift and I'm a bit confused and have some doubts if it's a fake. The box came without a label with the model number and barcode. Everything else including the warranty card/manual, sticker and the knife itself looks very trustworthy. Therefore, I would like to ask if you could help me determine whether this is a real Spyderco or a fake. I'm loading more photos to this post shortly.

I am from Czech Republic 🙂

I refrained from posting because I am too far from an expert for my opinion to matter much but I will share my casual thoughts.

In favor of it being a fake, the markings on the blade look a little off to me.

In favor of it being authentic, in your second picture I can see the phospher bronze washer inside the clip screw hole which is typical of the Tenacious line. Also, it doesn’t seem worth the effort to counterfeit a $65 knife.

I agree with Rick
I think the knife is authentic
Looks to be incorrect box
The sticker reads made In Colorado US
The tenacious line was a lower end of SPYDERCO knives and were not made in US
They are made in China

Good catch, Gino!
