Thanks for the warning guys. I wont buy from them. I guess I will never be able to replace the swinger I had. I just loved that knife and could kick myself in the ass for selling it.

That's not just simple fraud.
Holy $#%@ :!: That is almost laughable...that is if you told me and I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't have believed it.
Does anyone know what that knife actually is? Is it a Chinese knock-off?
It's clear this guy has no morals or dignity of any kind, I mean he knows there is a few thousand people out there that have his number but does this sh*t anyway.
My guess is that this cat stays away from knife shows for fear of getting his neck stepped on.

It's a real vintage English knife. But it was a manual that has been converted. The conversion isn't even trying to fool anyone because it doesn't use a thin button system like the English rocker a real auto like that would have had. It just has a modern button system with a flat button so the front scale is ridiculously too thick. And, of course, the sear hole goes through the stamp.

And the brass pviots on everything...jeez, at least make it look like you're trying.

The guy that does them is very proud of his work.
He's his own biggest fan.
Wire fraud is serious business!

Checked out his site, he's on target with the cheap stuff but WOW!!! I wish I had his crack connection, Bill's on target with the insane diagnosis. Does he actually sell any of those and if so they must all get the crack at the same place. Just say NO.

The guy who ran that site used to come around here and would immediately start trouble every time. As far as crazy goes, his swan song before being booted forever was a masterpiece.

Man, that's like the unabomber manifesto, so he doesn't buy that whole "transgender" thing, I got that much out of it. You are what you are based on the equipment you're born with. I'm glad he opened up about that. Your're right JB, that is indeed a masterpiece.

it's a good idea not to call JimBrown257 "JB". Say Jeremy or Jim. JB is the guy from Autoknife site and Chad is his equally crazy builder.

Oh, hell...I didn't even think about that until now.

"JB" is a pretty notorious set of initials around these parts.

Man, that's like the unabomber manifesto,
I would hope Ted had the courtesy to throw in a few paragraph breaks here and there.
