It turned out to be a good weekend for knife shopping. To kick-off the weekend I took Friday off and stopped by a local kitchen & knife shop.
If anyone lives near or visits Dutchess County NY, Warren Cutlery on Route 9, about a mile or two north of the Dutchess County Fairgrounds is a nice shop to visit. It should be easy to con er I mean get your significant other to come along because its a very well stocked kitchen shop as well as having a large cutlery dept.
I got to handle many of the knives that I only see on the Internet. A very nice selection of Benchmade knives, I got to see the BM Rukus (a huge knife). They also had a large selection of French folders.
I was drawn to a folder that I had never heard of, a Grohmann Folding Beltknife. It was reduced to $88.00 and although I never heard of the brand, it was too unique to let go. Im not usually into traditional folders but I really liked this one, so it came home with me.
Another knife that really looked good in person was the Lone Wolf Loveless Traditional folder. It was the drop point version, very impressive and definitely had a custom look. While researching the LW on the Internet, I found them to be a little more reasonable than the $200.00 shops price.Most of the prices were about 10 20% below MSRP, but some seemed to be at full price.
On Saturday I went to a local flea market and while sifting through the piles of Maxams and no names I came across a NIB Kershaw Storm II for $25. What a great knife, even at the regular price. I would recommend this knife to anyone wanting a decent knife without spending a lot.
Well I hope I didnt put anyone to sleep .
