Is this a genuine Volpe? Looks a little different from the (production prototype) picture on the Spyderco website, but I've never seen one in person.
Stay away. Similar description to one I "bought". Waiting for refund as seller was delisted by ebay. I took a shot thinking they would hold the money on a new seller - hopefully I was right about that and will get my refund.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.

I've noticed on a lot of Chinese sites that openly sell fakes they almost never give the correct name or product code - just describing it as a folding knife, like in your add. The fact that the auction starts at 0.99 too makes me suspicious and the guy isn't doing himself any favours selling stuff like that with a 0 rating and an obviously junk-able username

The Volpe linked in the first post is a fake. It fooled me because the wood is lighter than the other Volpe fakes I've seen and they don't show the back. However, with a second look I see that the wood is the wrong shape and doesn't have screws.
