He's selling as a "parts knife"

Looking at this again and may have found an easier way. From any Ebay page search for Case Knives then click search. On the left look at the filters. Click on More Filters and from that menu select Sellers and use that option to include or exclude sellers from your search. Choose any other filters you desire and then Click on Save This Search up near the top center of the page when you are done and you will only have to repeat this process once. I have used these filters to keep foreign listings out of my searches. With the cost of S&H it makes shipping from overseas impractical for my purposes.

I’ve often wondered the same thing. I’ve also noticed a great many of these cobbled counterfeits are from sellers in Tennessee and Kentucky. Makes me think there must be a counterfeiters “guild” of sorts with a network of workers making them somewhere in that area.

I would say your assumption is correct. Being someone that sells knives I've been contacted by all sorts on ebay. I had 1 person track me down on Facebook and they eventually got my phone number. They were always after parts knife. I never had a good feeling so I never completed a transaction with them. After awhile they started trying to sell me a bunch of rare knives. He was fairly tight lipped about his business but he had a route where he put a bunch of his cobbled knives for sale in various stores. I've watched as he peddled his cobbled junk via Facebook. He may be a member here. My last contact was when he outright said he could sell me a semi load of counterfeit knives and i declined. Haven't heard from him since but his location is Kentucky.
