Well I cant believe it. I purchased a fake case xx. What is wrong with people. Luckily it only cost twenty dollars on an ebay bid. The blades have groves from being ground into shape, they were never pollished. The knife came in a box that shows the manufacture date to be 2001, However the tang stamp is the SS kind from the nineties.

Whats worse is the badge looks like is was glued into the handle, very shoddy work . Unfortulately the photo in the ebay listing did not show any of this.

If you would like photos email me at ocsogregory03@earthlink.net

what a sad day. Let me know if any of you have had this experience.

Unfortunately, there are a few fake knives sold on ebay from time to time. Usually they are fakes of older knives. I would like to have a picture of the item that you purchased if you have one. Maybe you could post it on the forum for others to see?

My email is:
bryan@allaboutpocketknives.com

Thanks for the heads up!

I agree Bryan,
Posting a pic will be good education and save others from the same problem.
