If you're asking about that thing I posted, it's pretty easy to tell it's not what it's advertised to be if you handled as many old knives as I have. Even if you'd never seen one of those old Japanese rope knives, the jigging on the bone is totally different than it is on knives of the era that the seller of that junk claims it to be. That's the quickest test on it. Fit and finish is another.

Like I said earlier, there are LOTS of phony knives on ebay and several unscrupulous sellers who specialize in creating fake/fantasy/counterfeit knives with obscure tang stamps and some with well known tang stamps like Case. Case knives are probably the most counterfeited knives on ebay.

This thread is a reminder to us newbies why it's important to purchase from reputable vendors.
I admit that these ebay posts are really bugging me, mostly the fact that some of these sellers would think it's okay to sell this stuff.
Buyer beware.

That's exactly why I like threads like this. I was dooped when I first started because I didn't know better. Luckily I did spend much but still it's very disheartening to finally get that shiny new razor you bought just to lather up and make a pass only to realize it wasn't your face that got shaved but your bank account.
