What are these Ebay Sabatiers?

    Recently I've seen a flood of what is billed as vintage Sabatiers. the images appear to be the rough forgings of the knives in question and they do seem to resemble Sabs. Are they Chinese knock offs? lots of sellers with these and others in various stages of incompleteness. Seems odd to have numerous sellers all selling the same thing. sabs.JPG

    I bought a few like this . No heat treat. Devin Thomas and Don Ngyen ( Happy Birthday) did projects with these. They said it would have been far easier to start from scratch .

    Thanks guys. nice to know. certainly not for the novice. I thought that some I've seen don't have the handles drilled and might be a candidate for removing the pomel and putting a wa handle on. just pondering.
