I haven't done anything with ebay in a while but when I was hitting hard I always had my wife sit there and drop a bid at the last second. If I did it I would bid out of my ars because I hate to lose. She didn't care either way so she'd drop a more sensible bid.

The overall size of sword is 26 1/2" and full tang. MSRP for this swords is $1,299.99+ without leather sheath, Google it before you bid on, you will not find same.... Sword is fully functional and holding a Great Edge !



Testimonails:

Rich,

I would just like to say that your Book of Eli sword is impeccable! The generations of craftsmanship from your grandfather, to your father, to you makes for one of the most amazing swords made today! The balance, the sharpness, the attention to every detail to perfection is awesome!

Anyone out there interested in owning the best and going down the street in your Oakley Inmate sunglasses, army jacket and Shemagh, Kefiyeh, Arabic head & neck B&W-scarf, would not be complete without this metal sword of Damascus with leather wrapped handle between you and your Oakley back pack.

I know my good friend "Arnold Schwarzenegger" would not mind strapping one of these fine pieces of steel to his body as it is a very balanced and one of the finest, strongest and quickest swords I have ever had the pleasure to own,

You can cut just like Denzel does in the movie, wrack a limb off a tree or just keep for show. If you get this sword or any of Richard's knifes the craftsmanship will blow you away. There's NO DOUBT! It will bring you much satisfaction and you'll be glad to have the chance to purchase it!

Thanks again for the extraordinary work & craftsmanship as you’re the best Rich! 5 stars and an exclusive #1 rating!

Kevin

wazu013, It looks like he is no longer satisfied just cheating people out of $50 to $100 at a time. Moved on to a bigger game. Custom made indeed. ::td::

Maybe it is just me, but I do not even think that Eli sword is attractive. Looks about like what I would expect to see for sale at a gun show for about $20.

I'm with you Mel, $20 and keep walking. Looks like what it is, cheap import junk.

What a load of crap that whole ebay listing is. It appears that Kevin Saunders is a motivational speaker. Makes sense based on the testimonial wording. Nor real motivating to me. As for RBH, always amazes me what people will do for a buck. Pretty sad.
That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in other's and gave the best he had.

He's either got a crap load of them swords, or has been trying to sell it for over a year. If you check old RBH's ebay store as often as I do, you will find that he always has that sword for sale and all most never anything else.

That's because he's trolling. All he needs for one sucker to take the bait then his ebay bill is paid for another year or two. Ebay has really gone downhill and hasn't hit bottom yet. Now that Aliexpress has gone public all their counterfeit crap will filter over to ebay. I can see idiots buying crap for pennies at Aliexpress then loading up ebay with it looking for profit.

Now that I'm totally retired I'm bored to tears. I finished my Honey do list (don't tell her) so now I'm having fun with some of the sellers on ebay. Some of their replies are funny as shiz. ::shrug::

My testimonial:

I have been buying and selling RBH Custom Knives For four years now. I have also been installing burglar and fire alarms for over twenty five years. In my business you have to be perfect on a 100% scale and if you are not a false alarm will occur and anybody that owns a burglar alarm knows this is very bad police are dispatched fines are levied and customers pissed. Because of this anything under perfect is unacceptable. So this brings me back to RBH Custom Knives. The quality and beauty is amazing I have purchased over 60 of his knives and the only problem i have ever had was with a couple of sheaths the snap button that holds the knife did not work proper and one came apart but I found no reason to bother rich with such a minor issue and i just put a new snap on from hobby lobby. but every knife was perfect the workmanship is always outstanding and solid nothing has ever been of variable grade as I researched I found a few of old and misleading threads on different Knife and sword Forums so i went ahead and asked the man himself That is Richard b Henn and here are our corresponding emails and his response:



>>>> Good afternoon Rich.
>>>>
>>>> I am inquiring about some facts about your knives I am pretty
>>>> committed now so need to know what i should or should not advertise.

>>>> emailed me bashing you and your products telling me my advertisement
>>>> was misleading. As i did more research these facts are not clear on

>>>> no sweet I still love every one but i need to know if the rumors are

Interesting post Brian. Curious as to why you "need to advertise". So you are "flipping these knives"? Seems you are given the statement about one of your buyers berating you as the country of origin or should I say "my advertisement was mislesding". So I should trust the word of someone that has a vested interest in the answer to the question? I certainly wish you continue on the forum but endorsement of someone that you're benefiting from does not speak the world to me as far as a reliable source. No offense intended.
Would love one of our RI member to take a drive to his production facility if it exists. If it does, I will eat my words. After all, taking a man at his word across email is not the same as the old days where face to face was the common. Just the world we live in now.
Futhermore, joined three days ago and this is your only post seems odd to me. Please show your 60 collection knives. Would love to see them.

This kind of stuff really burns me up :evil:

I went back and checked the original member who posted to this thread username:rich32046 the IP address he registered the account is from Pakistan ::td::

So everything this person posted is a blatant lie there is no shop in Rhode Island, the knives are not made here everything is BS! The knives are made in Pakistan period!

Now this GlockYourWorld has opened a new account and is posting the same crap all over again, this time he is much more clever as he found a way to register using a U.S. IP address which given the latest technology it is now not as hard to do.

We try to screen these guys out when they first register but it is getting harder to do as they get more clever every year, sorry he got through I will be more careful next time.

Thanks Miller Brothers for the detective work. Not my type of knife anyway but the response definitely sounded like total BS to me.
Anything to make a buck while this deceiving just makes me sick.
For god sakes if you're ashamed to reveal the country, maybe you should NOT be selling the knives in the first place. I say get a real job and make a living. Look at your self in the mirror first, your bank balance is way down the list from there. At least for most people...
