ever once in a while there are some offered on a certain site that one just has to get a giggle from. i know we had a series of posts detailing the funny things people try to sell so i thought i would start another one since can't find the original. here is the description of the knife.

HI, UP FOR ACTION IS A UNCLE HENRY SCHRADE LB7, THE KNIFE IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE & IS TIGHT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE ON EBAY, IT IS A VERY RARE PIECE!!!! MADE IN 1970 OR EARLY 80"S FOR A SHORT TIME & DISCONTINUED. BECAUSE NO ONE WONTED A DULL POINT KNIFE. BLADE IS LAZER ECTHED OR ENGAVED WITH DU W/SPACE PONT SHORT FOR DULL POINT. ( GET IT NOW MAY NOT RELIST ) ~THANKS FOR LOOKING~ ( US BIDS ONLY ) ( AS-IS NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS ACCEPTED )
oh yes he is asking $100 starting bid or buy it now for $300. now that is the high in the belief that one is born every minute.
course i guess Schrade could have offered a dull pointed knife for sale?

There was a listing a few days ago for an electrician's knife, commonly referred to as a TL-29. They made MILLIONS of them, every company, from the time of Edison on. They are good handy knives and are worth every penny of $5-$20. This fellow wanted to start the bidding at either $300 or $500. It had BEEN STORED FOR 50 YEARS!!!!! :eek: He was so excited he could hardly contain himself. I think he was genuine. I may have poked his balloon for him.
 
How about this late Delrin issue (it IS a genuine Scrade Malden!): "Wonderful Vintage Schrade Folding Pocket Knife, 3 blades all opening and closing well, metal label on the front that reads "KON-KAV," marked "SCRADE MALDEN NY USA" on the blade, 2 3/4" long by 1/2" wide by 3/8" deep closed and 6" long opened, in excellent condition, from an old collection, circa 1920s."

Wow! All this time and I thought DU PONT stood for DuPont, you know, the plastic makin' folks that came up with stuff like delrin! Some people have no shame.

You're all wrong. This is obviously a Ducks Unlimited special edition. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.:D:D

That sounds like a Derlin handle Calvin.
 
Ha! This is a good one! It happens with other catagories as well, not just knives. I was recently looking at antique car sound systems and came across several radios that had been "TASTED" and promised to work!:p
 
i know we are not suppose to put active bids up but this is too funny for us not to laugh at.

and the saying goes "he's backkkkkkkkkkkkkkk".
couldn't help it but sent him a message asking if he was really serious about the listing and telling him that there never was a knife like that for sell in the catalogs. we well see if he replies and what kind of reply. if he does should be interesting.

did get his answer.

"HI, My uncle purchased a schrade dull point in the late 70"s so i think they did make them but not very long. It is not a easy knife to find with the way it is marked, but the listing stands buy it or not. THANKS"
