UPS and FedEx combined to force me to spend time and money fetching stuff I hoped to have delivered. Basically they wouldn't just leave the stuff, I had to sign for it. Since I am expecting a couple sensative items I took off early to go pick up the packages. Now the customer service centers for both of these are located in the same part of town, on a stretch of road that's usually busy, but on Friday's becomes even more difficult to traverse.
Leaving early and getting into the correct location left me with a couple hours to burn. So I hit the antique mall across the freeway. I've never had much luck there with knives, but there's other stuff on the list, so it's better than just sitting in the car. Found some stuff that interested me so got one of the staff to start opening cabinets. Got a good close look at this and pretty much forgot all the rest, although there's a nice little bearded hand axe I may have to go back for.
Here's a nice Schrade Double Blade Push Button Auto:
The knife was pretty gummed up; the blades just barely "clicked" out of locked position. But she cleaned up pretty nice. As far as I can tell the blades are still untouched. Blades move very well after minor cleaning and even the insides are shiny.
One crack on the pen side, but no real problems. This is definitely one of the nicest knives I've fond in the past couple years. Cost more than i usually pay, location and the fact that if nothing else the vendor could tell it was an "old" Schrade, but it's worth it.
