...Not necessarily seeing ads, but that place is full of groups that deal with and discuss switchblades. More than I could have ever imagined. (Whether that be good or bad.)

I see ads for Chinese crap switchblades all the time. I actually try to report them.

As Bill said, I see the China made junk all the time in my feed. Chris is correct that there are a ton of FB groups these days too, and they have a lot of guys selling.

I've never see any add on 'Face Book'.

But then again I've never been on Face Book... :D

Cheerio,

I tried face book and it just wasn't for me, didn't get far enough to know they even had a marketplace. Each to their own I guess.

I've been seeing em like swarms of mosquitos in a swamp. They seem to mostly push fake Benchmade, Bucks and Kershaw's. I post a comment along with a fraud related meme. Then I report the ad itself and the page from which the ad was launched.

This seems to really piss them off. Using one of their spammer profiles, I was sent a message telling me stop or they'd kill my family. Quite brazen and entitled they are

I'd tell them to come on over, but say your prayers first. Not only do I like knives but I like guns too!!!

Oh yes! I had some choice things to say and would happily provide quite a lethal response to their visit. I am with you and like guns too :-)

The thing that gets me is the lacksadaisical attitude by SMKW, BenchMade, et al. They should have an employee staying on top of it commenting, reporting and inviting their customers to join whacking them. I alerted the respective companies and got a few mushy replies. The ads are costing them sales. A few FB users thanked me saying they were leaning towards making a buy but saw my commentary.

I have seen the adds for the Glykon (Microtech) and Buck. They are certainly brazen.
