Looks like someone took an old Frost or Parker lockback whittler from Japan and turned it into a "Winchester."

I just noticed the other day that mstorm seems to have opened another account. Same crazy BIN prices, same cobbled knives.

Sad that someone that sells fake and cobbled knives on eBay can sell here as well.

It seems we've had discussion about this AAPK store in the past.

He has been discussed in the past. So he has at least three different seller names. Two on eBay and one here. He’s another that when I see the seller name I just pass on by. I won’t buy from them even if the item is legit. ::barf::

I'm with you Ken. He has three absolutely terrible fakes for sale on eBay now. No doubt he has some good knives but in free enterprise we can deal with whom we choose.
