I least I know the pin went to a fellow x-marker and it will be well used rather than go to a re-seller.

A few months ago I was watching a sgian dubh being sold as part of an estate sale. It eventually went beyond what I was willing to pay. I saw it again a few weeks later posted by an e-bay knife shop. Both the knife and the description were a little embellished, but it was the same. I checked and the buyer did become the seller.
