Re: Has anyone seen this auction??? RIZZUTO

If you open up the original listing, click on bids (make sure you click on "show automatic bids") you can see there are only two bidders (or shills). I think the reason why ebay pulls the listings is if some one "reports" the lis...

Re: I have a BAD feeling about this...

Hi Jerry, I needed a working knife for work and did not want to get fired for using a switch. I found one on ebay, I was very curious and I put a bid in for $6.00 with shipping (NO, moths did not fly out of my wallet when I paid for it) and I won it. I was expecting a throw a way knife.

Re: WTB. RIZZUTO..

Hi,
I was wondering what is a "step bolster"? I know the rizzuto has a regular swing guard and/or a batwing and a push button open/close but I don't know what the step bolster is.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the info.
