They had very few Buck knives. Nothing out of the ordinary or interesting or on sale.
The guy told me Buck was coming back after making the mistake of switching all their production to China. He said everybody quit buying them so they had to bring production back to the U.S. I just smiled.
But.....they did have a CRKT knife on sale. Beautiful little three-inch fixed blade with pretty burl wood handles, fancy rivets and generally looking of real quality.
It had Leupold etched on the blade.....some kind of centennial thing or something. It was leftover from a Leupold promotion and was $29.95 marked down from $99.95.
I looked at the blade and it didn't say U.S.A. but the guy said it was made in the U.S.A. I was about ready to buy it when I noticed that the box had "Made in China" on it. I pointed that out and he laughed and said maybe the box was made in China. I laughed and left.
But I learned that blades don't have to be marked "China" if the box is marked.
That was interesting.
There was a lot of lying going on. I suspect the knife never had a retail price at all......they just made one up and then marked it way down.
Oh well, I bought some ammo.
