Seller says he has never seen one like it. Small wonder. ::tu::

For as many knives as this guy sells he should know better.

The words vintage and antique are vague. Actually most words are vague. Even the word vague is vague.

Imagine that. This is the same seller that got his 6380 authenticated here on AAPK and promptly listed it for $6500. Apparently he saw no need to authenticate this one.

Classic example of an "across the room" fake!

Not sure about the slick black Tested whittler he has listed either: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Minty-Case-Tes ... 0752.m1982

Maybe an 063-1/2 pattern but not sure it was made in slick black, and it didn't have a sheepfoot secondary that I know of. ::shrug:: Nor does he give the length.

Ken
Edit: It's probably a 2376-1/2 which does have a sheepfoot secondary, and was made in rough black. ::facepalm:: If so it should be 3-5/8 inches long. If so, I apologize!

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

Yes, 2376 1/2 smooth black sleeveboard whittler...that one looked 100% ok to me, and a nice knife. I bid on it but did not win.

Oh yea, that has Case written alll over it! :roll:

Do these buyers not educate themselves enough on a product to be able to just glance and think to themselves “something ain’t right here...”

Wait! I’ll answer me own question... NOPE!
