Is it worth it; Blem.

[OpKey]

Me too. I ordered a 301 tonight. Can't wait till it gets here!!!

I know how you feel. I ordered yesterday and I'm already going crazy. That's really a shame.

I have another question for you guys who bought blems before. Do all of the blems come with the four X's on the blade? Just curious.

the s30v blur i got a couple of days ago from kershawguy has no xxxx. also, really, really sharp

kershaw guy is good to deal with and is highly valued among forumites.

That said, my view is that I will buy blems when I can't find a non-blem.

Otherwise, IMO there usually isn't enough savings and I'd rather have a non-blem. YMMV.

I agree to a point. But, when I looked at the difference between a new non blem 300 at 235 dollars, and a 301 or 300 blem at 175, I liked saving the 60 dollars. That 60 dollars that I saved is enough to purchase another knife that I've been looking at, the Rake. I think Kershawguy has blem rakes for 59 if I remember correctly. So, the savings in getting a blem seem well worth it to me.

I love saving money. I guess that's why I hit the flea markets and auctions so much. I love finding bargains.

Exactly. This is how I was thinking. That $60 bucks sounded real good at the time. I think I'll be definately pleased with my blem, or atleast I hope I am.

Everything I've read about the blems says that they are stamped with the 4X's. I suppose a few could get out without the stamp, but then could Kershaw tell that it is a blem?
