$30,000 Knife

I see it but don't believe it. Why on earth would this be worth $30,000? Maybe I'm just not worldly, just a country boy at heart. I don't mean to be rude or flippant, but it looks like a bait knife I had. :shock:

Right, either a bait knife or one of those knives at Menards used to cut the twine for lumber flags. a sod knife perhaps ::disgust::
way,Way, WAY out of touch.
Either this guy is a knife-making Lord-Genius, or he hjas one hell of a monster set of cahones (sp?)
Does anyone know something here we (me) are all ignorant of ???

It was generous of him to offer free shipping to the winning bidder. :wink:

The seller either has an incredibly large set, or he has a severe chemical dependency. This just may be the guttsiest dealer on e-bay.

Well, I secretly offered the seller $20,000.00...but he quickly rebuked me. Man, was I disappointed, but that was everything I had in my knife budget. It looked to me that it was modeled to be a dead ringer for the Sandbar Bowie...only smaller.

I offered to swap a mint putty knife and a used large taping knife. Bummer, my offer did not come close to yours. :oops: I just couldn't win I guess. :wink:

I think our "skilled craftsman" spent entirely too much time in Southeast Asia! When he arrived here, the concept of currency exchange rates
escaped him! Here's what I think...I think he meant to set the price for this collector's item at 30,000 South Korean Wons. That works out to
$31.66 U.S. as of 5/26/06. That seems a slightly more realistic price!
(But what do I know?)

Sounds reasonable, but I fail to see how $31.66 would help his financial problems as mentioned in his ad, else he would never sell it. He also had two offers that expired, I wonder how much those were for? ::tired:: I don't know if I would part with $30 for it. I had to think hard to offer a putty knife. ::doh::

I have come to the conclusion that if your money problems are this great, a $200.00 digital camera may be your worst investment. But who am I to judge. I did, however, offer 2 Frost peanuts and 1 Winchester lockback.

Isn't that the knife that was carried by a certain Swift Boat crewman on a covert mission behind enemy lines?

I think you may be confusing him with the Stars&Stripes reporter that invented the internet.

I'm only saying what the voices in my head tell me to say. They speak Spanish and I get confused sometimes, so I could be lying.

I think the guy is lying. It looks to me like the knife carried by John the Baptist in the wilderness. :D
