A diamond in the rough? hahaha.....no..
But it relates to my real question which is:

What's the best score/deal you've gotten on a great knife you own?
(not including gifts or from people you consider your friends)


I bought a Mint condition 1980 Cold Steel Master Tanto with the brass fittings for $130 Canadian. hehe...that's like $80 USD.

:barf:

I recently sent a Boker knife back to the company for Warantee work, and they asked if I wanted a replacement, or to wait for them to ship the original back to Germany and fix it. I opted for the replacement. 5 months later the original knife shows up at my door with no notice. A note inside says "here's your repaired knife." So, I got a free knife out of the bargain. Did I tell them? Uhh...no... (knife Skywalker folder value ~$150)
