All About Pocket Knives

I found and interesting listing on eBay today. If you like high quality custom handmade knives you might want to take a look at this listing.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/276666878443?_ ... ton+Custom

It looks like "custom knife maker" Rody Stan, makes incredible "high end knives" ..... Is it possible he is the brother of well known knife maker Pak E. Stan? ... Because, it sure looks like the knife for sale is a great copy of a Marbles knife you can order off the SMKW's website ....

From the listing:

"Rody Stan HUGE CUSTOM HAND MADE D2 STEEL FIXED BLADE BOWIE HUNTING KNIFE - BRASS"

"This awesome hunting knife was designed and custom made by Rody Stan. Knife would look most impressive in any knife collection. so grab yourself a bargain to get this splendid knife. Knife not only looks gorgeous but it is also robustly constructed with its thick 4 mm. Rody Stan hand forged the blade of this knife with d2 steel."

If I’m reading it right it says the auction ended with 9 bids at $28.28. Sounds about right to me.

Ken, I think they might have paid too much! .... What amazes me is how dishonest, this listing is.... "Rody Stan; Custom Knife Maker" .... Come on man!!!

You’re probably right. That description comes to about 10¢ a word I’d guess (I didn’t count them though).

Quoting the last portion of the ad GSPTOPDOG posted: "Country/Region of Manufacture Pakistan."

Dishonest/fraud or an attempt at humor? The $28.25 bid does include shipping on a box long enough to hold a sheathed 16 1/2" knife.

The bigger questions might be whether 16 1/2" would be unweildy fighting a fast moving sasquach and will it hold an edge long enough to to slash through the beast's fur and hide?

That is hilarious.

Surprised it was not made by that major knife company “Rostifi” lol.

Never heard of "Rody Stan". I do however own a couple "Stan Paki custom" Barlows with bone and brass handles and Damascus blades. They are very nice knives for the price. I realize they are probably "all show and no go", but they are seemingly well built and dey shore is PURTY

Probably do even better at Etsy. I see a lot of “handmade customs” with asking prices north of $100 that retail for $10-15 (made in China ) or $20-25 (made in Pakistan)
