I suppose this could be a scam or a series of phantom auctions.
His command of English is not good. Located in "Montreal", but sounds Oriental.
But;
Check out these auctions:

If ligit, it looks like he's found a Boker bonanza, plus some others, to include a very nice looking E. M. Dickinson Horseman's Knife.
They have some spots and spiders, but appear unused. And, some really interesting patterns.

Seems like he has a great feedback record(800-plus).He conceivably could be of Oriental extraction and living in Canada or he could just be French and have difficulty translating to English.JMHO

I thought about the French Canadian possibility.
His feedback does look good. I had looked at all his recent feedback that still listed the item sold. Lots of diecast cars and trucks, a few vintage Barbie dolls, etc. A good many of his feedbacks are multibles from a handfull of bidders buying like objects at about the same time. In other words, bidders buying a half dozen diecast cars and posting individual feedback statements for each auction.
The seller is probably ligitimate. They have certainly acquired some really nice knives.
Looks like some of them were around a celluloid source that gassed out. Only one of them has a really bad problem.
All of them are great patterns. That Rooster Comb is to die for. So is that whittler. The horn handled grafting/budding knife has a beautiful blade shape. And, that spatula knife is cool.
Look at the blue tint on the inside of the punch on the six blade scout/utility. That, too, is a nice knife.
etc. etc. etc.

I forgot about that coke botlle stabber. Possibly the nicest knife there.
Speaking of nice knives, Willie. I saw a Challenge muskrat on the 'Bay 'tday, so to speak.
I know you like them Bridgeport knives!

I'd love to win the one with "6 FONCTIONS."

When Blue and Hawke see this they'll probably have the urge to mortgage their houses.

I think it's strange that only a half dozen vintage knife seekers commented on these auctions.
Not my knives, not my auctions, and I'm not bidding, but Boy-Oh-Boy, what great knives they appear to be.

Perhaps several were flying under the radar with their fingers on the bid button.
I didn't comment (till now) or bid but I sure was impressed with the offering.

Well, that "RADIUM" etched whittler brought over $600.00 and the six blade camper a little over $200.00.

I just picked up what I believe to be a RADIUM etched champagne pattern. It's a bit of a basket case, but I got it cheap!
