Am I being too sceptical?
In accordance with the SAKWiki, the Classic model was first introduced in 1935 without the toothpick or tweezers, which were added only in  1942.
And the Cellidor scales were used since about 1971.
And the SD tip was implemented in 1987.
And the scissors, it seems to me, are from the 1990s or later.

So no, you are not being too sceptical.  :whistle:

IMHO this is a very rare knife. I don't think that you will find very much similar knives being offered at that excessive price!  :think:

I did write to Etsy to "complain" but no response.

Just noticed the knife is back on sale at a higher price of £190.

I've had a few decent items from Etsy but this sort of thing really putting me off.

Thank goodness I have the wisdom and resource of this forum and members to draw upon.

Should I be posting this sort of thing on this thread?
