I didn’t believe Herman had done the work on these knives and Emailed him. He replied that he had been following the LB3 listing and had Emailed the seller, telling him that it was not his work, and had asked the seller to retract the listing. The seller did not retract the listing. The LB1 had already sold by the time Herman discovered it. He Emailed the seller and asked that the buyer be informed that the knife was not his work and that a copy of this be sent to him. The seller did not do this either.
I have bought knives from this seller and have been treated fairly but it is obvious that not everyone can say that. Hopefully the buyers will see this , and demand their money back.
Herman said the first knife he filed looked better that these.

It's a shame that some dealers are like this, Doug, but you've gone the extra mile on this.

You can report a listing as "counterfeit". I've done that on other listings that I knew were fake, but even then the listings weren't removed. Perhaps if enough people report a particular listing the powers at Ebay might take notice and flag the seller.
It pays to know what you are looking at when buying anything online. Unethical sellers target inexperienced buyers, and it's really sad that there is little you can do about it, (other than to know for sure what you are buying BEFORE you buy it).
