Seems I recall asking about one of his knives having an incorrect description.
I don't remember when or what; it's been quite awhile back ....

He admitted his mistake. With over 200 knives listed, maybe it is a simple case of dyslexia (sic).

Bluster I have bought a couple of knives from this seller and the receipt comes from SMKW. Surely he just made amistake here.

[MrBlister]

well greg . . it seems like it but,,,,,,
heres his response .. . .


With all due respect, that knife by the tang stamp dates to be a usa era (1965-69) Case XX knife. 1980's were written with a lightning "S" in the Case. There are no dots underneath the Case XX Stainless USA which would indicate 70's era.

heres mine

the "S" is a lightning "Z" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the "S" is a lightning "Z" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the "S" is a lightning "Z" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if that's his response he must be getting old. He better get his loupe out and re check that tang.

[MrBlister]

No. its just the reflection. I looked at the knife in person. Jay Parker verified that it is in fact a USA era knife. Just bad photos on the tang stamp. Also they did not use the word "Stainless" in tang stamps in the 80's. only possiblities were a 65-69 or a 70's era. had it been a 1980 knife with stainless steel blades it would have been 10 dots separated by the lightning "SS". Also the blade etch "Razor Edge" helps identify.

[gsmith7158]

Here's a 73 trapper I have . The dots are very low but th 65-69 s ine case looks the same. Does this match the OP knife

I don't know that's it's true in every case but in some cases I think someone else creates his listings. A while back he had one of those Salt River, KY (China) knives listed as being from Salt Lake City, Utah. I emailed him and he said yikes he was going to have to watch things closer. They probably sold a pick up truck load of those Salt River knives I think he would have spotted that right off.

Mr. Blister, I can't believe you put your foot in your mouth with this post. How could you have possibly been fooled into thinking this was a 1980's knife. This knife is right as rain and exactly what they described it to be.

Shouldn't have to read the tang stamp to tell this is not a 1980's knife.
