I don't know about fake, but I sure never saw handles do that before. Is it a rehandle, if so, what is that stuff. I mostly posted because of the $75 BIN. ::barf::

that is extreme deterioation to say the least, but that is a very nice whittler, i don't know about the $75 though. up to the eye of the beholder i guess..i also like the way he states there is some seperation of the handles and the sides of the knife ::tu::
everything else looks in good working order. but not for that amount.

edit: he's also selling a butt buffer for motorcycle seats,,,, now he's talking my language ::facepalm::

I wonder if someone tried to clean this knife a little too aggressively? ::shrug::

It's more like ......end of party ...than end of day. What some people will do.

It was a nice knife. I'll bet it still could be salvaged.

I've just never seen any handle material do that! That's why I wondered if they'd been replaced with a material i'm not familiar with. I know it's not, but it almost looks like expanding foam insulation. I think there is a decent foundation there, but $75 is pretty steep for a fixer-upper. In fact that's a might more then i'd give for the knife, if the handles were in excellent condition.

I usually try to grab a shot off ebay and post it so we will know what we were talking about later but that one is too ugly. I took one look and backed out of there quick.
