Go to "Help and Contact" in small print at the top of the main ebay page. From there you go down to the blue box which has a link to "Retracting a Bid"

eBay would be far more entertaining if you could leave comments for everyone to see, sorta like how comments can be made for a Facebook posting. If this seller grades this knife as near mint, I want him to appraise my collection ::uc::

Posted knife is a cobbled oddity for sure. Looks like a real NYK frame and real NYK blades, but handled with Schrade peach seed bone. Someone went to the effort to reinstall the original shield on the replaced handle.

Oddly, I recognize this seller (based on eBay name and town) as an experienced collector from Connecticut, though I have not seen him in over 20 years,

it will probably show up some day as a “variation” either in an auction or worse yet a book. Thank you AAPK for providing a platform to keep us informed now and in the future.
