Re: Somebody's going to get taken
That's a terrible fake. Everything about it is wrong. You'd have to be pretty new to knives to not see it for what it is

For posterity.

I think it's kind of weird. The hafting on the "rattlesnake" bone looks pretty good, but the shield is terrible.

Let's see what's wrong. And this is from a noob who knows nothing about older Case knives.
Jigging wrong
Shield wrong
Stamps wrong.
Those nail nicks look like what I'd expect to see on a knife made by a guy called Pak I. Stan.

I especially like how he calls it "long pull".

Re: Somebody's going to get taken
I notified the seller that the knife wasn’t right. Looks like he may have pulled the auction down. A good number of people with bad knives for sale are good honest people and this could be the case here. Unfortunately there is always a burn involved somewhere in the equation.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Good to see the seller believed you and cancelled all the bids and pulled the listing.btrwtr wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 3:57 pm I notified the seller that the knife wasn’t right.

Re: Somebody's going to get taken
I think he called it a long pull because it ran right off the blade. lol
