Big opera Fake?

[James w]

I'm betting that the individual offering this to you is incorrect re. Handle material since it looks an awful lot like cocobolo.

It's on eBay and it's for 80 dollars and from china so just making sure all of those just don't seem right

Or

It's auction starting at 40 dollars us

So I thought that it sounded fishy. I don't think I'll risk it

It is a FAKE.
Please let me know you is selling it.
