I guess my first clue should have been that he called it "peach seed wood" - it's bone. The seller had other knife auctions and over 700 in feedback, 100% positive. However, it looks like most of the auctions are fixed blades, not folders - but still, I'm having a hard believing the seller didn't know exactly what he was selling.UP FOR AUCTION IS A VINTAGE CASE XX CLASSIC POCKET KNIFE
SOLD AS IS LOOK AT THE PICTURES GOOD SHAPE FOR IT'S AGE
3.25" CLOSED JIGGED BROWN PEACH SEED WOOD
NICE COLLECTOR KNIFE
I paid very little for this knife, and it's really not worth the hassle of sending it back - but even at the little I paid, I paid too much and that still annoys me. I think I'm going to swear off bidding on any knife that says "good shape for its age". I sent the seller a message with my disappointment and I won't leave feedback, but other than this rant, that's all I'm going to do. I just wish sellers would simply be honest and forthright in their listings.
Ahh well, this is the life of a bottomfeeder - sometimes what you suck up is just the cr@p from another bottomfeeder...
