I can honestly say I've never seen a Case quite like this one.

Re: Case Tested
I think that knife has been on eBay for a while. I don't like that the blades have been heavily cleaned.The bone at the front head end bolster looks a bit funky, maybe a hidden crack. There are some other minor things I don't like about it but I think it looks okay for the most part. Bone color is different than most but still okay. Might look different in hand. If just a used knife that has been heavily cleaned I think it may have looked better to me before cleaning.

Re: Case Tested
I'm not digging the tang stamping or the jigging on the eBay knife.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Case Tested
My opinion on the Ebay knife is that its an original knife, heavily buffed, with the original handles replaced with new jigged bone.
