Do you love it? Hate it? Not sure what point you are trying to make.

No point, just going through some old magazines and found this ad, thought it was a bit rich considering the price, gave me a good chuckle so I thought I would share, guess I have a funny sense of humor.

I'd be totally on board if Franklin Mint made a collectors knife styled after the timeless 1986 Yugo.

What year is this?

I mean, in the 80s, wouldn't $40 for a pocket knife be akin to a few hundred now?

I'm not versed in inflation or anything I just recall minimum wage being like $3.

Either way, was funny.

I love old ads! The knife is a pass for me, but it looks nice.

$59.40 in today's money, which isn't too bad for a commemorative trinket in a magazine.

Comprehension is my weak point, but, I do like knives so give me a pass

When knives are in sight, I think all of us lack comprehension skills. We also lack restraint and good judgement, lol.
