Prices are reasonable, for example the last image in the first post is $130. . .  And has been sold.

The axes mix Pagan and non-Pagan symbols.

Does he only sell on X?

These are right purdy knives but I suspect they are made in Pakistan or China. I often search the interwebz for knife ideas and knew I've seen many of these before somewhere. I'm not saying this guy isn't making them but I have some doubts . I'm also saying there is anything wrong with these knives.

If you do an internet search of the images you find this for example. It clearly states in the ad while it ships from New Jersey they  ship to the US.

Those look similar to things I have seen on Temu. Not saying this guy buys there and flips, but that has become an increasing trend on places like Etsy.

If I get more cash, that’s the one I want to buy.  Looks like it would be a great skinner knife.

That is the only place I have seen him, so I can’t say.

I've seen several who claim to be "knife makers" that are just reselling Pakistani knives. Years ago there was such a fella on Facebook. I reversed searched the images in his ads and called him out in a group. He blocked me. 

 

Actually running a Google image search of some of these images yields some interesting results. I've never heard of John Knives, but I would say he's a fraud.

What's the world coming to when you can't trust what you see on the internet?
