Bravo, Ariel.
As always, you masterfully "play with words")))) Your linguistic knowledge is fascinating, but it is not relevant. Since it is clear that the seller does not say that he is selling a modern item. if I'm not mistaken "ANCIEN COUTEAU ETHNIQUE" - translates as "OLD ETHNIC KNIFE" Unfortunately, the seller does not write in the description that the decoration of the blade is recent. It always makes sense to read the entire description, and not shine with "linguistic knowledge"... |

I’m sure Ariel is not trying to be apologetic concerning this seller.
We all need to keep in mind that most salesmen will try to phrase any description in a way that entices possible buyers in reading more into it than what will be considered as legally binding - caveat emptor. It helps to really think about what is NOT being said in sales lore... Regards, Kai |
