Fake "Case Tested 5165 Flat Ground Blade"

Post by Mumbleypeg »

Another fake listed by the same seller that had the fake Case Congress. This one also has a USA or dotted era shield on a supposedly Tested knife.

Edit: knife has been re-listed but still no mention that it is a fake. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Case-Tested-XX ... SwcgNZDxp1

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

That knife has been around the eBay block a few times. Ugly blade. Looks like a couple fine hairlines on the front and rear center pins. Not sure what to make of the staining on the stag that carries over onto the back spring.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

He has it listed for $350 buy it now, or best offer. He still claims it to be 100 per cent authentic. Well...it is an authentic knife of some sort. Apparently he doesn't care that it's not what he represents it to be....Jerry

It's now listed twice, yes two current auctions with a $375 buy-it-now or best offer. Listing it twice is a good way to double you money. ::uc::

This is the guy that told me "just mind your own business" when I politely advised him the Tested stag congress he has listed is not a legit Tested knife. Can't figure out if he's channeling tommygg101 or just doesn't know better. But he represents himself to be an expert. :roll:

He ended the listing again.With the attitude this seller has, it will probably be back on eBay next week.
