Hey, Cold Steel is going to be having another Parking Lot Sale on Nov 27th. Anyone planning on going? I don't really need anything, but I've always wanted to check this sale out. I wonder if LCT is going to be there giving demonstrations?
 
I might go
Thanks for heads up
I went a few years ago

They got free hot dogs and Coca Cola:thumbup::D
 
Haha, is that a picture of you, Trent? If it is, maybe you should change your name to Beowulf or Odin.

Anyway, I assume since you are considering going again, you found the prices of merchandise there significantly cheaper than what's available over the internet/mail order. How would you say the prices at the sale were? What did you pick up last time you were there?
 
I bought hatchets and machetes
They were not a WHOLE lot cheaper than regular
The hatchets looked fine to me
Maybe it had something to do with the grain on the handles, wasn't optimal??
The machetes kind of had swirling paint
Maybe they were rejects or something??
I thought the swirling/drip looked kind of cool
I think the hatchets were maybe 5 bucks cheaper than "regular price"?,
the Frontiersman were 25 bucks, same with the Rifleman hawks

The latin machetes were like $9.99 I think

I'm noy a huge fan of the CS knives
Just not my cup of tea
There was plenty to choose from though
Boxes and boxes of all models

Lynnn walks around and talks to the people
I told him I liked his hawks
He saw my armful of them ans said "wait one second!"
He went and got a copy of his Fighting Hawk DVD marked FREE on it with a felt pen
Then he signed his name and gave it to me
So I became a big fan of his "customer service":thumbup:

It's definitely worth checking out
I live about 35 miles north of Ventura
So you don't have to twist my arm too much for nice drive down the coast via The 101 to check out knives, tomahawks,machetes, and free frankfurters...............:D
And I like the town of Ventura
It has coastal character

I'm not sure if and when they give the "factory tours"
Maybe it is a scheduled time for the tours??

No that was not me in the pic:o
I think it's Lynn's son in law or head of security:eek:
 
Hey Trent, thanks for the reply. Thanks to you, I have a better idea of what to expect if I go. I think I will go, even though it sounds like prices aren't that much lower. I live a little further away than you do in the opposite direction. I do like the area, I go to the air shows at Pt. Magu and Camarillo Airport.

Interestingly, I was thinking of picking up my first hawk. Mainly to use the other end to hammer in tent stakes in this rock hard, dry desert ground we have here in southern California. Was thinking of either the Rifleman's Hawk, or maybe the Trail Hawk, Pipe Hawk, or Trail Boss. Any thoughts?

That's cool LCT gave you a free dvd.

Do they really have "factory tours?" I would think that the Ventura location was just a shipping and receiving warehouse and administrative office.
 
I was thinking a Rifleman Hawk would be a good pick up as well, I might go to this one to see if they have any Rajah's or Espada's in my size.

The Riflemans hawk has a nice hammer poll

There are a ton of threads on "modding" CS hawks
I think that is one of the reasons they are so popular

I'm not 100% on the factory (facility?) tour.......
