Yup, looks like a classic kit knife. Notice the rivet below safety, maybe Edge Co.

I'm trying to remember the markings on the Edge Co. tang. I know i have one somewhere around my mess, was it Milano or just Italy?? Anyone remember.
As far as hard to find, don't think so.

Our all time favourite dealer, Tizzy, always has alot for sale.

I wrote about this auction on another forum. I like this sellers shipping policy. To make a long story short, if you were to win 10 of his knives, the shipping would be $49.75. You need to read it for yourself.

yes jim i did, and this is the response i got;

Look fag, go run and tell ebay anything you like. We have already sent ebay one of these as proof of size along with customs forms. Do whatever you like but LEAVE US ALONE. The next email will be considered harassment. I have ALREADY reported you to ebay for racketeering. In Canada that carries a very healthy jail term.

Well he at least he got your name right. Lets see racketeering falls under the federal RICO ACT. And usually always involves high profile people like the mob or the Hells Angels. I don't recall any of the trials having anything to do with e-mails and e-bay and $20 items. I could be wrong and maybe it even extends to Canada. I guess we will have to start calling you Scarface Bigg. I'd be shaking in my boots if I were you.

mrbigg,

I'll inform the seller of his/her error, and I recommend that the rest of us do so as well. Let's inundate this seller with messages that he/she is being exposed among the collector community.

jim, he's a loser who won't listen eg: here is the first e-mail he sent me

What are you talking about? Your cute little threat has been handed to our legal department. The description is exactly what the knife is. Go run and tell ebay anything you like. Make sure what you say is accurate, if not legal action can very well occur.

Thanks!
