I hope nobody here is bidding on this one!!

A place to discuss & share pictures of counterfeit knives. Please be sure to alert the AAPK community if you spot one. Also make sure to ask questions if you are not certain about the authenticity of a knife you are considering buying or selling. There are plenty of great people here willing to help.

This knife looks nice, but it is a KA-BAR T 29 two blade fish knife with the scaler blade removed and pearl scales added. If you look closely you can see the "hook strightener" hole in one bottom bolster. KA-BAR never made this knife in a single blade or in pearl.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.

If you're using a mobile device, switch to classic view (the smaller pictures in mobile view, as far as I'm concerned, are useless). Open the desired image in a new tab and save it. Then just attach it when composing a new message.

And don't worry...I'll not be bidding on that one.

I definitely won't be bidding either Dan. Also, I would say hopefully no one bids on it but well it's up to seven bidders now ::teary_eyes::.

I find this to be an interesting (and misrepresented) "restomod" knife. The hafting work on the pearl scales looks pretty good to me, but what's with the front bolster pin heads?

Thanks Dan. I am using an Apple desktop, never use my Iphone for much but phone calls and texts, reading e-mail, occasionally to take photos and have no idea about different "views". Been collecting and studying knives for over fifty years but I am fairly illiterate when it comes to using smart phones. Learning more but it isn't so easy for a geezer like myself.
