what companies offer seconds for a godd price ?

[banditele]

I have purchased a few cold steel knives in factory seconds. I have been pleased and felt that I had paid a fair price. Does any other knife companies offer seconds and how do I find them for sale? I am a big fan of Benchmade, camulis, Ka-bar and spiderco. I am not asking for them to fall out of the sky at my feet , but just trying to save a buck or two

I know Camillus has one, offerings vary at any given time: http://www.camillusknives.com/store/s-pages/1sframe.html

SOG has one too, at 40% off MSRP.

Spyderco does occasionally let some seconds out into the light of day (reluctantly). Usually they restrict these items to their in-store sales at the SFO (Spyderco Factory Outlet) in Wheat Ridge, CO.

Not done by mail or phone, last I knew.

Here's the link to SOG's Seconds page (which is usually kept pretty much up-to-date). Unless things have changed since I geared up SOG's Seconds program, the cosmetic flaws are pretty much hard to find and for 40% off, very easy to live with.

I believe Cold Steel also has one.
