Bought a knife, don't know what to do. Please help.

I don't know what S&W knife you have, but some of them aren't bad. My recommendation is don't trade with that store or they'll take another bite out of you! Just keep the knife or swap it. Many of us have drawers full of knives and it's no big deal. And the S&W you got might be better than you think. (Can you post a photo? A part number?)

In today's market, we're spoiled. In reality, it's kind of difficult to end up with a truly awful knife unless it's sitting there by the register in a fish bowel or hanging on a rack at the Dollar Store. Your chances are greater overpaying for a knife than getting a terrible one, and some knives today sell for as much as a handgun!

So keep your knife or swap it, or gift it to someone. I have a very nice S&W hawkbill knife that originally sold for $85 (yet I paid $5 because the store just couldn't move them). And it's not a bad knife by any stretch!

Education sometimes costs $$$, so chalk it up as such. Don't just assume it's a crummy knife that needs immediate replacement. Just sayin'....

The blade is black and the handle is olive green with texture grips. The grips are like the material on top of a skateboard. On the blade it says Smith&Wesson SPECIAL OPS

Also, it's half serrated.

Yup. Lots of folks just don't understand how much nothing there is in west Texas. ;) I'll be headed down to Midland to see my folks at Christmas. At 115 miles away, that's practically next door in Texas. :D

... but from what I understand the Centofante is supposed to be a great knife. I also like it as well.

And thank you. This is actually my first thread.

The Centofante is a great knife. I prefer edc'ing my Delica but the Centofante is a fantastic slicer and has a lot of fans.

Here's my Centofante 3.

Posting pictures is free and easy, but first you gotta get them online. Most of us use photobucket.com.

Cody, what i do is use imageshack, you upload one photo and it will take you to a page after it uploads and scroll down a bit and it will say hotlink for forums 1, and you just copy and paste in to whatever your writing and you dont need
 
Defecation occurs...
Chalk it up to experience and start saving for the next one.
After all, we all know the next one is the one!
