No doubt that this is another of the Chinese (I think) fakes. The handles are a weak attempt at copying real Case greenbone; note how there isn't a horizontal center line or any offset to the jigging. Plus stainless blades. Phoney-baloney all the way around.
This seller normally sells good, legitimate knives so I think the poor guy got fooled with this one.
Comments wanted, please contribute your thoughts on this knife.

If you give me a choice between the knife and the bill in the 7th picture, I'll take the bill.

There's that ever so popular antique alligator jigging everyone's going crazy over, sweet knife!
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I don't think we should give the Chinese credit for this one. I have seen a lot like this and think they were done right here in the good old USA by some enterprising American with no scruples. I think it was originally a Frost.

Yes Eric. A right ugly attempt. Nothing except the shield even remotely resembles CASE, Tested era or otherwise. Blade shapes and pulls. A lot of stainless shine for a Tested era knife.
Anyone that isn't sure about it should take a good long look at the jigging pattern of the bone. If you see this on any Case brand knife hide your money and run away fast.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
