Raindrop (Greg),
Actually I am not,
.
acquistions29, whomever he or she is, was the purchaser. That entity also bought another talonite knife too (if I noticed the name correctly), which although it looked nice, seemed to be marketed by using the Simonich name...something like, "Talonite bought from Simonich," type of thing to catch eBay searchers. I saw a thread which was making light of that fact, which is the only reason I noticed.
I noticed the Kanji because of the posts around this thread:
Kanji history, eBay sale.
I thought you might be the buyer, as the eBay one was just sold, and you said you just got one. Obviously, neither of us have the peripatetic #50. The one that is in my current avatar is #28. I guess I was half right
you did recognize it!
If you go to my home page, such as it is,
Donald's modest home page.
and go to the Simonich knives page you will see I disclaim ownership, of the knife or the pictures, re #50.

I have not bought anything on eBay for a long while. Thus, when I recently got a spoof email, claiming to be eBay saying I need to update and verify my information, it took me a good look to realize the message was fake!!!!
So be careful! I understand there is also a fake PayPal message going around with a virus or something.
