IKIV Knives clones sold as Real knives on auction site

[phillydownsouth]

I have brought attention to these knives being sold as real knives on an auction site.. im new to posting and trying to help people from getting clone knives at real prices. The auction # is 352970927197. I have reported it to the site and to Benchmade. It was not for sale then yesterday was posted again. What is a good course of action. These Benchmade Griptilian 550-1 G10 Handle CPM20CV Sheepsfoot Satin-Edge Blade Knife are being sold without a disclamer. Any help as to handle this would be appreciated...

Ebay just don't care . They're making money , so don't expect them to help . I've tried and so have many others , to no avail .

If you actually receive a clone , you can then post a very short "review" for the e Bay seller . I always look for that when buying .

The Cold Steel forum has a special sticky thread to post Cold Steel clone warning notices , but I don't know about BM .

This is why I work with one--and only one--supplier. She even checks out the shipping container she processes for me, and is sturdy enough for UPS just in case it will endure some rough handling.

Joyce has never lost, damaged or shorted me on any facet of ordering--and that's near 20 years!

Supplier of what, and from where? And what does Joyce's shipping track record have to do with the topic of clones?
