Let’s talk boxes

I recently decided to store all my boxes in a… bigger box. In that process, I noticed some interesting differences between my Spyderco boxes.

Some of the spider’s trademark R symbol were all over the place. I’ve purchased these directly from reputable dealers over the years, I assumed the boxes with a lower or further away positioned R were fake, but when I put more boxes together, I noticed the R’s were in different areas on several of my boxes.

The bigger giveaway of a fake box (only found 2) was the mouth on two of the spiders on the boxes on the far right. The triangle was very small, a k390 PM2 and a S35VN PM2. Both Paramilitary 2’s are legit, not a single sign of being fake, but the boxes are off.

I start to wonder, is what we learned about counterfeit boxes real or is it just inconsistencies?
