Ridiculous description, but nice knife with a lot of life left in it. What makes me crazy is the multiply self-contradictory descriptions where they just try to pile in every possible key-word.

Reminds me of a listing I once saw on the 'auction site', for a 'vintage' Case Sod Buster. Description laid it on thick about the apparent antique nature of the piece. The deep, heavy pitting on the blade made it look very old-timey, but the post-2000 tang stamp on the CV blade gave it all away.

I find it funny when they try to specify a use in it's description. Don't tell me it's a survival camping hunting knife, or a farm construction carpentry DIY hammer. If I buy it I'll decide what it's for.
Perhaps he told the truth, and the original owner was never abused? Maybe the original owner never abused it, but his kid(s) and/or wife, and or wives, and/or girlfriend and/or girlfriends, (Who knows? He may have had more than one wife and girlfriend simultaneously) and/or whoever he loaned it to did? That poor knife was obviously abused by someone or something.
My favorite is, "Condition is used. Photo is description." The photo is so bad that it could be a knife, bigfoot, or Jupiter.
