Speaking of stores, I'm guessing there are in excess of two hundred knives in your photo? So I'm further guessing you have a knife inventory of around $50,000?Group photo, but of course I forgot to throw the fixed blades out there. I don't see how the flea market/gun show guys do this on a regular basis. It takes quite a bit of time to lay out that many knives.

Well, the GOOD news is that knives don't depreciate as fast as a new truck will. In fact, some of those might have gone up in value.Lol that's a pretty good guesstimation. I don't think I've hit the 50k mark yet, but it can't be too far off. I keep telling myself to stop buying knives and save up for a new truck, but alas, the knives are winning for now.
I always wondered how well the finish on those would hold up after a few years of carrying and use. Looks like it has held up very well...
Yep, the scales have held up pretty well over the years! :thumbup: Granted, I carry it in my back pocket where there isn't anything banging up against it all the time. The pocket clip has been bent more than a few times though. The worst spots are the areas in the front where I've hit them with the edge of the belt sander while trying to get to the end of the edge while sharpening. No biggie, it's a user.
I bought this second-hand, in nearly NIB condition, for well under $100from a fellow over at CandlePower forums who was similarly concerned the anodized finish wouldn't hold up.
His loss, my gain!
