I have 4 Izula's that I bought off of a dealer table last weekend to help him out so here they are...2 are wrapped in paracord and 2 are not. I need $40 each for the wrapped ones and $35 eachfor the unwrapped ones. They have been handled and have a scuff or two from the sheaths but none have actually been used. The green one is probably the most handled and the black unwrapped one has a couple of spots where the coating has been chipped off and the ESEE name is scratched.

Almost forgot to mention that all of the bags say Izula Orange even though there is only 1 orange one...I guess the guy didn't keep up with them very well :rolleyes:

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. I can do $140 for the lot if you want a nice Father's Day present for your dad, step dad, father-in-law, and/or self.

Forgot to mention all price are for Paypal goods with USPS First Class shipping and fees included...will upgrade to Priority if you buy more than one.

Can't seem to PM you. If you could send one to me or email me that would be great, got a couple questions.
 
never heard of fake Izula's but he is right...weird....withdrawn unless you still want one, I will unwrap the wrapped ones tomorrow to check them :mad:
 
Relatively new to the fixed blades and Esee's as well. Looks like some comments were deleted, can anyone tell me for educational purposes how these were spotted to be fakes? Thanks!
 
mf'er tried to help out someone and got snookered... could have been worse. Everyone here says this is a solid hobby but all that I have seen is scammers. I have traded thousands of dollars of coins with no issues and 7 knife trades have been AWFUL. Done!

For me its the other way arround. No fake knives yet and gotten 3 fake gold coins.
Better check dimensions and weight of your coins, especially the ones sealed in transparent display cases, which the Chinese fakers don't expect anybody to open.
I got three which were just too thick with accurate weight and diameter. Turned out the density I calculated was brass and not gold. Might have been gold plated though to fool anybody measuring only the conductivity.
PayPal helped reversing the whole transaction except my return shipping cost to a fake address. :rolleyes:

Guess that I know more about bullion and coins than knives, hence the name :) Let me know if you need some REAL silver or gold. I have $100 face of 90% silver quarters and a few nice NGC/PCGS MS70 Gold Eagles :eek: and a MS68+ NGC 1880-S Morgan dollar, a most bad ass Morgan (if you know coins, MS 69 is the best ever graded).
