fake Hubertus? Italian style swivel bolster stiletto

Post by leisuresuitbruce »

Just got it off ebay. I'm sure I got a fake as I cannot even find this style. Luckily I did not pay much. I was hoping the fact that the seller listed it as a 'Hubectus Rostrie Automatic' was why yall did not find it and bid it up. But I bet yall saw this and laughed.

It is not tight and my fingernail says the name on the blade is paint and not etching.

Give me the good news.

It's not even Italian, much less a German Hubertus.
There is someone out there with a cheap laser engraver that is "applying" things to knife blades.

Thanks for the word guys. I am assuming Hubertus never made anything like this, right?

Anyways, glad to join the group.

No, Hubertus never made anything like this.

If you paid more than 10 bucks you got screwed...Sorry

Reminds me of an old joke:
"Is that a real Rolex?"

"Well of course! Otherwise I just wasted FIVE dollars!" :D

Why can't I see the pictures? Little circles with the line in the center... is it because I'm on my phone?

I can still see one of the pics (the blade) but the rest just are a circle with a minus sign (-).
