Not exactly counterfeit

Post by Whitneyrifle » Sat Mar 18, 2023 9:51 am

Saw this one on the Bay. Not exactly counterfeit, but definitely misleading! The grammar…..
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144830409905?h ... BM5r7uwd5h

“Kabar USA 3 Blade Knife Picked Black Handles KA-BAR OLEAN N.Y. 1923-1950 *RARE*.

-4 inch body
-main blade 2 inches

I cleaned one spot to see the time stamp. Please see all photos for condition of item prior to purchasing. KA-BAR OLEAN N.Y. STAMPED. beautiful knife ! I'm sure you can clean the rest up just collectors usually like to clean it them selfs. The exact item in this photo you will receive.
Thanks and godbless !

I'm willing to entertain offers as this is a collectors item.
You have to be trusted by the people that lie to you. So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in….

Just one of the all too many well used and abused knives on eBay being sold as if were made of gold.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I guess that rusty steel nail through the rear bolster is what makes it *RARE*. Looks like he "cleaned" the entire primary blade, or what's left of it, looking for that "time stamp". I wouldn't pay $6.99 for it let alone $699.95. ::teary_eyes::

There is not a doubt in my mind that, with a little patience, one could find a better example for far less.

Used and abused. I wonder if that's the remnants of a bail?
