Another (missed) amazing deal on Nordic...

last week...that Chris Reeve Opinel looking thing that I have been trying to get for over 8 years.:(

What do you think of the John W. Smith, Joss? He is not making that model any more, and $450 is a very fair deal.

Best Regards,

Really? I was actually on the site when that one went up, could have bought it. I seriously considered it but decided I didn't know enough to spend that kind of dough. I also felt that about the $7,000 damascus Moran... :foot:

In the last 2 years, I have bought 3 JWS tacticals at sub-$400 prices, most at $300 to $350. They are among the most undervalued tacticals on the second hand market. This one is definitely worth over $450 objectively speaking. The problem is that I cannot guarantee that they'll ever go back up. I wouldn't take the risk on this one at this price personally.

1. The price was fair on the Reeve....and they NEVER make it up on the aftermarket...they define rare.

2. I think the Smiths will go back up...matter of time...i call it the Carson Conundrum. One of those get 'em while you still can scenarios. There was a time when Lum knives were very readily available on the aftermarket....not any more.

Best Regards.

'fraid I'm guilty on that Fogg piece. Actually had to think about it for a couple minutes as it's not the best time for me to be making the outlay, but since I don't have any damascus Fogg pieces in my collection I grabbed it.

Time to think about selling a couple of knives.

Congrats - this is a great purchase. If you want to make a quick $500, I'll buy it from you right away. ;)
