I have a couple of favorite finds at Antique stores. I betcha could have paid 25 for it! You can usually talk antique dealers down a little, but my comment was just a silly one.
That is a great find, I would have had a hard time holding my poker face with that deal.

You got that right. The dealer was looking over my shoulder as I was sifting through the knives. I picked this one up and said "I'll definitely take that one". He looked like he was taking a closer look at it (probably due to my transparently intense interest) and said "Yeah that's actually a really nice knife isn't it..." I made sure he had thirty dollars in his hand and I had the knife in my pocket before he had any more time to stop and reconsider.
