oldwalkandtalkknives fake pearl

Post by btrwtr »

He has been posted here before for fake pearl scout knives. People have paid high dollars for hi reworks. Here a Boker 182 with new, not so well done pearl handles. If you look through his auctions most of his asking prices are crazy high.

He also has a Cattaraugus jack that has been poorly re-handled.

If you take the time to look through the pictures in the URL you can see signs of glue. The cuts for the nail nicks are rough and round rather than sharp like they should be. As with most of his other reworks the most telling is (see included pic) the shallow, rounded edge hole he has attempted to make for gluing in the shield.

This slime ball has learned to word his listings very carefully. I don't see anywhere he states the handles are original but the implication certainly is such. He's been taking old scout knives and putting pearl or in some cases cracked ice handles on them and peddling them as rare finds for years. Ebay will do nothing about it despite the fact his unethical tactics have been made known to them time after time.
