I went to a pawn shop today to see what they had on hand. Lo and behold, I stumbled onto what I considered a bunch of great fixed blades.

BK&T Brute (kydex sheath)
BK&T Companion (kydex sheeth)
BK&T Combat Utility (olive drab nylon sheath with kydex liner)
Ka-Bar Kukri Machete (leather sheath)

All 4 for $140 cash out the door. All 4 looked unused but dusty and lint in the handle screws of the BK&T's. The edges of the blades were all perfect. No dents, no rolls, no dings. I'm going to take apart the BK&T's and clean out the lint and dust. I'll oil everything and put them back together.

So, Deal or No Deal?

They also had:

Ka-Bar Warthog
Cold Steel ODA
Cold Steel Kubon

I might go back for those.
 
i'd have to say leave it to fate, offer $120 cash out the door and if they go for it then pay up and run out giggling like a schoolgirl. seems like a pretty good deal to me. actually even at 140 its a good deal.
 
Maybe I didn't communicate this properly in the original post. I actually paid $140 cash out the door. No tax. Unless he wrote it up as $132 with $8 tax.

I thought it seemed like a deal. But, I just wanted to be sure.
 
I was giggling like a school girl when I loaded them into my car. His original asking price for all 4 was $240. I offered $100 and then he came down. I went up a little and he came down. I pulled out the $140 cash and said this is all I have. He went for it.
 
I'm not sure what BK&T is, but if they are BRK&Ts, then it's no deal... IT'S A STEAL!!!
 
Thanks.

I can't count the number of times that I go into a pawn shop to see what kinds of deals that they might have to come out empty handed. But, there have been a handful of times where in my opinion, I've scored pretty good deals.
 
I know it has already been said, but I'll say it again.....you got a great deal! The Campanion alone sold for around $75.00 when they were readily available.:thumbup:
 
I'm glad to hear such consensus on this purchase. I think it was a win win for the pawn shop and me. Not so much for the poor person that had to sell them.
 
Well Congrats to you! I have never found a good deal in a Pawn Shop - so I have curtailed my looking to almost nil. But good for you for being persistent.

Enjoy!
 
That's cos the pawn shops at your place don't have stuff like that...:) If not, the police, CID, ISD etc will come running...
 
I live in an area with military bases. I'll have to check out the pawn shops near the bases. I bet I'll find more treasures there.
