Fake ebay CHOKWE?

[Cave Dave]

I find it odd they have an artist rendering of a hollow ground Chokwe like knife with 3 handle holes.

Could be. But probably just a case of them being to lazy to take a picture, or being hooked up with a drop shipper and not actually having the knife to photograph, and not knowledgeable enough about the product to realize they'd Googled up and swiped the photoshop rendering someone did, and posted on this forum, of what a folding Chokwie might look like way back before the actual Spyderco version existed rather than the actual knife.

Hey, those're my renderings!!!

Funny, I'd forgotten about those. And I must say, they look infinitely worse than the final design.

Wonder if someone should ask if it's the version in the top or the bottom.

saw that too. my guess was that it was by someone who is selling the actual knife, but is too lazy to take pictures...

For that price i would just buy from a reputable on-line knife store that can be trusted.
Just ordered mine from Knife Center and it is arriving Tuesday :D

I'd report the lister for using your image.

They have excellent feedback, so probably the real deal.
