The Chinese stole that design from Buck. It's a counterfeit "Bones" model 870.

I've often wondered why ebay doesn't get prosecuted for knowingly making their website available for illegal activities. (Selling fake trademarked and copyrighted items is illegal isn't it?)
 
An individual can sometimes make a difference. When this listing showed up, I contacted the seller and politely explained that they were not real Buck's but counterfeits. Shortly there after, I received this message from the seller:

"Dear plumberdv,

Hello,
No, I did not know. Took them down immediately. Thanks for the heads-up."

I checked and sure enought, the auction was ended by the seller. (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Buck-DA...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)

I've also used other methods that have had sucess when the seller gets pissy or just ignores the info, but I won't go into them here.

By the way, keep an eye on the feedback of the seller that lists the knife shown in the picture and in the OP's original post. It will probably take a week or more to happen, but I'll guarantee it's going to take a hit.;)

E-mail from Joe Houser recently after I sent him a link to a seller here in the USA selling a whole bunch of fakes. The seller and I had quite a dialog going where he even admitted knowing they were fakes and thought that putting that he "wasn't sure" they were real in the listing made it OK. He only added that to the listings after being confronted both by myself and "oregon".

"Dave,

I read one of his auctions and he says he does not know if they are real Bucks or not. The “Buck” knives I saw that he had listed for sale are not Bucks. Thanks for the information. Ebay has made it so that it’s very hard to do anything about this sort of thing anymore but I will pass the info to our legal guy.
Thanks for the heads up!

Manufacturers should get together and file a class action suit against the auction site.

Here's a link to a completed auction for the guy (USA seller) that I reported to Joe. It's interesting that he's selling the exact knife that this thread is about and even uses the same photos in his listing.

Here's a link to an ended auction by the Chinese seller that this thread is about.

LOL! At the very bottom of the second auction it sais: "do not duplicate or copy" regarding the template the seller is using!

I was unaware of that. Apparently the owners of these trademarked items did not themselves take legal action, the police did. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/27/nyregion/27chinatown.html?_r=0

Antepenultimate paragraph in the article:

In late 2006, eight makers of luxury goods, including Burberry, Givenchy and Marc Jacobs, sued a trust created by the Terranova estate in Federal District Court in Manhattan in connection with six properties in Chinatown, asking, among other things, that the tenants of those buildings be evicted. A lawyer for the estate, Paul Kurland, said a short time later that the parties had settled, and said they were doing their best to rid the buildings of vendors of counterfeit items.

Keep in mind as well that this Mayor and this Police Commissioner have stomped on people's rights before, and continue to do so. I won't think of justifying what the sellers of the seized products did, but their wrongdoing does not necessarily justify the city administration's actions.

Thank you for that additional information and correction.
