    Well based on what you've said, I think you've been scammed, that was not your friend but someone who changed their name to that of your friends and stole the knife.

    They've been using this technique for a while now, sadly people still fall for it, and evidently some experienced traders (possibly you) are unaware of it.

    Bad luck man, at least it won't happen again now.

    You can make a SteamRep report here:

    Also report them to Steam using the following button, on their profile:

    Make sure you have the right person first though, and provide evidence in all cases. If you need help I'm happy to help; just add me on Steam.

    Good-luck.

    No, a wider population means more stupid people for scammers to scam. It used to be most successful scammers were legit traders (or traders purposefully building rep) going rogue to abuse their legitimately gained rep. Now it's really obvious things like this, being done on a wide scale, to catch idiots.
