Found this on Ebay
Look at what some people are bidding, they can't be serious.
Re: Found this on Ebay
Something's GOT to be wrong here! Looks to be made in Japan. Where's JimBrown257? Maybe he knows why this would fetch such a crowd (if it is Japanese). https://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-stilet ... A0.H0.TRS5

Re: Found this on Ebay
To bid over a 11 thousand though, WTF? I wonder if those people even have that much money or wishful thinking?

If only I had that much money, life would be SWEET!!

Re: Found this on Ebay
There are a lot of stupid people in the world.
That said, it looks like some bid-rigging going on, perhaps to pump up what the knife will bring when it's really sold.

Re: Found this on Ebay
It wouldn't make a bit of difference what the tang stamp says.
The knife is a Japanese false button manual knife.
Even the description is wrong. The handle is plastic, not wood.

Re: Found this on Ebay
This reminds me of the old "false button" knives that were sold in men's magazines during the late 1960's and early 1970's. They specifically stated that "if you push the button, nothing happens." They went on to state that it is really a fine knife used by sportsmen and fishermen. (They were just Stainless Steel Japanese knives that weren't any better than their automatic Italian counterparts).
Nothing special here.

Re: Found this on Ebay
If I just had some of those Japanese knives, instead of these antique German and Italian ones- I'd be rich!

Re: Found this on Ebay
Haha wow someone really, really wants this knife like really wants it! I mean I get we are all knife lovers here but this is just plain unhealthy.
Re: Found this on Ebay
Hurry it’s slmost gone. The bidder must be a friend of the seller trying to falsely increase the value of an otherwise cheap knife.

Unbelievable
You just never know it could be someone who really wants it to complete a collection.
To some people 11,000 dollars is like 100 pounds is to me.
More likely your correct John and the underbidder is a freind giggling every time it goes past a money milestone.....surely no one will pay the winning bid.

Hi Ian,
You’re absolutely right. $11,000. can be like pocket change to the wealthy.
I wish I could blow $11,000 like that.
I was born handsome and not rich.
