Asking pays off!!

RattlerXX · May 9, 2001

I have been asking the customers that come in my gun shop if they have any knives stuck back that they would like to trade, and it usually pays off. Well....it did today, and thought I would share it with yall. A customer I asked a few days back came in and had a box of "old" knives he wanted to trade for a couple of new Case knives. The box included a Valor 590 in excellent condition, an italian stilletto, Ulster, Old Timer pocket knives, and one old Puma lockblade with stag handles. I traded him two new in the box Case Trappers for all of them. Yeeehawwwww!!! Anyway, I now have the Bali in my pocket and it has been a good day. Thanks for listening to me ramble, but I had to share it with ya.

I need to borrow a digi cam, and I will try to post some pics next week when I return from vacation. I'm too tight to buy a digicam.

*Drool*
Those 590's are some of my favorites...
At one time I carried my C.I. 1200,4 Valor 565's,2 Valor 590's,1 Valor 527 and 2 Frost versions of the 590...all on me at the same time.
My belt looked like a "utility belt" from Batman (it was a common joke back then)

I might have to try that same concept in my martial arts school.

sounds like you made a killing, but if those case trappers were stag, that guy may be smiling in a couple of years.

They were Yellow, and Red bone. I collect stag knives from Puma, Case, Eye Brand, and other misc. and handmade knives as well. Gotta keep them stags.
