Well... I didn't have anything planned, but I subscribe to a couple of deal spotting venues and they got me. Don't worry mods... I know deal spotting is frowned on here (breaking rules, maybe?) so no mention of the sites. One of them found a deal on a second line of knives from a large Chinese manufacturer that was too much for me to resist. The line is closing out, and they manufacturer is quitting that line to concentrate in their up line.
Nothing spectacular, but plenty of value for work folders. All blades 3" and up, some on bearings, all with micarta handles. Surprisingly good designs, good handles and great colors. All blades are Chinese D2 that claims to be (as they all do!) to be in the hardness range of 59-60. The knives reviewed well and the "spotter" had actually used them, not just "unboxed them". The knives started out at +/- $39 and went down to $28. His "spot" on the sight had all of that brand at 50% off. Got 6 knives with free shipping for about $95 plus tax. Free shipping.
That sale lasted about 48 hours and every last knife was sold! No doubt I will use a couple of them myself, but also no doubt some of my amigos have their birthdays and other special event days covered with a new knife!
Makes a tightwad feel mighty good! (Cheapskate member #25, LOL..)
