You have to be trusted by the people that lie to you. So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in….
Re: Not exactly counterfeit
Just one of the all too many well used and abused knives on eBay being sold as if were made of gold.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Not exactly counterfeit
I guess that rusty steel nail through the rear bolster is what makes it *RARE*. Looks like he "cleaned" the entire primary blade, or what's left of it, looking for that "time stamp". I wouldn't pay $6.99 for it let alone $699.95.

Re: Not exactly counterfeit
Used and abused. I wonder if that's the remnants of a bail?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Looks like the can opener(and possibly the screwdriver) are from a Robeson.
