Do you see anything suspicious on the IXL Horseman's knife ?

The most suspicious thing about the IXL is the seller. Someone that sells knives with welded blades, reworks and outright fakes. The fact that he changes locations and names like socks ::uc::
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Does this IXL Horseman's knife have welded blades ? Or are you seeing outright fakes in his other listings ? i.e. what is it that connects this seller (kristtag_0) to mstorm ?

Other than a handle crack not mentioned and the MO of the seller I don't see anything wrong with the IXL. Given some of the other knives he has sold and has currently for sale I doubt he would disclose any problem with the IXL he knows about. First two pics look like welding to me.
