This is a must-have item for anyone interested in the history of the Vietnam War!

Post by GSPTOPDOG »

::hmm:: ... This looks like the cheap Camillus copy I bought at the local flea market in 1989... for about $5.00 ... ::shrug:: I never knew it was a rare piece of military history... ::paranoid::

From the listing: "Vintage US Vietnam Era Japanese Made Pilot Survival Fighting Knife, Minty"

This vintage Vietnam Era Japanese made pilot survival fighting knife is a rare and highly collectible item for militaria enthusiasts.

The knife features a sharp edged blade, a saw back spine and a sturdy handle, making it an ideal tool for survival in extreme conditions. It even come with a sharpening stone with original sheath. It is an original piece from the Vietnam War era, made in Japan by very skilled knife smiths, this is one incredible knife.

The knife has been kept in mint condition and is a great addition to any collection of militaria items. It was made in Japan and has been crafted to the highest standards of quality and durability.

This is a must-have item for anyone interested in the history of the Vietnam War and the brave pilots who fought in it.

Never just believe ebay sellers descriptions! Seller is nuts, these were post Vietnam, and as you said, cheap.

I wonder if the seller used AI ( artificial intelligence) to write the description? Looking at
his other items for sale the same "language" was used.

That description is so typical of AI generated descriptions. Ebay hasn’t learned yet that those descriptions are deceptive. They all say that this is a great item for the user or collector, great craftsmanship, blah, blah, blah. I’ve started stating on my knife descriptions on eBay that “we do NOT use AI for knife descriptions. I hope more of the serious sellers will start stating that as well on their knife descriptions.

This one on Flea-Bay is a real bargain at $145 plus what? about $8.99 shipping... ::shrug:: Sounds like a sweet hart deal to me!!! ::skeptic::

I think the one I bought back in the day was $5 to $8 bucks... Less than the shipping today... ::facepalm::
