I saw that exact knife up close- it has some sort of Aztec/Toltec/Inca/Maya decoration on the handle, and it is way too fat in the handle and heavy to stuff in your sock. It is not a sgian dubh.
The expensive shipping/low price is a tactic to avoid paying eBay fees (S&H does not factor in the commission fees) and also it is used to snare impulse buyers who see the low price and bid/buy without checking the shipping costs until after it's too late. I think it's despicable when sellers do that, and eBay is cracking down on them.
I have been dealing with Smoky Mtn. Knife Works since 1983 (20+ years!), good folks.
