What's the best deal you've ever gotten in a knife?

[chasewatmatters]

I'm curious to see what kind of crazy deals ya'll have gotten, and where you got them.

I have to say for me was buying a Bahco folding saw for $20. Such a great tool and I've used it a bunch since I got it.I originally wanted to buy the Kershaw folding saw but they were nowhere to be found, so the Bahco Laplander was the next best option.

 

[Art_Vandeley]

I got a nib smf for 200.

 

[Misanthropia]

I paid $80 for the original ZT 0350CB on the exchange, I think that will forever go down as my best deal.

I didn't get it but the XHP manix 2 with aluminum Grimso scales for $165 that just sold on the exchange was pretty darn good.

I paid $148 for my Cruwear Mili brand new from the dealer and will that may not be earth shattering, considering some dealers are asking $219, I think I did well.

I have a local dealer that sometimes has stuff that is rare or discontinued and they mark them down to get rid of them, most people pass them by but I have gotten some decent deals that way.

One time I bought 8 knives for $700, then I sold 7 of them for $1100 and kept one. I guess you could say someone paid me $400 to take his ZT 0300.

Kershaw Tremor for $12. Better bang for the buck than even my Moras.

 

[K.O.D.]

$32 for a Kershaw leek. Black handle, black blade. A LNIB LionSteel SR-1A for $150.

 

[chasewatmatters]

Nice! I think that takes the cake right there

15 € = 20 $ for a kershaw junyard dog from a collection

never had been used:thumbup:

 

[barcbsa]

Lloyd Pendleton ivory handle boot knife for $225, Jimmy Lile "Big 7" drop point for $90, George Herron "Little Dude" for $135, Barry Wood prototype liner lock for $28. Probably many others in the 38 years I've been collecting.

Oh yeah... Scott Sawby Combat Utility for $200.

 

[CJZ]

Benchmade Adamas, $90, Spyderco S35VN Paramilitary 2, also $90. There's more to that story if anyone's interested.

Also, a Schatt & Morgan 1196 for $35.

 

[chasewatmatters]

Man I'm jealous of that $90 Para 2 s35vn

 

[chasewatmatters]

How'd that story go?

 

[Hairlesstwinkie]

I found a Camillus Cuda Maxx for $10 at a flea market. It was in rough shape, but I still sold it for $100 on eBay.

 

[CJZ]

How'd that story go?

Bought a Spyderco Endura, $50
Traded that Endura and $40 cash for an Adamas
Traded Adamas for Para

So, technically, I got both for $90.

 

[fsatsil]

Ive gotten quite a few good deals on ebay but my best recently was these 4 AG Russell 3in lockbacks in like new condition for $60.

 

[flatfoot]

I bought an unused BUSSE NCABS off thebay about a year ago for $150.00 ( with free shipping ) .

 

[Omega Leather Works]

Um all of the Benchmades that I bought before the other day.

 

[El Bandit0]

Traded a ZT 0561 for a Busse BATAC w/Armorall sheath once.
Got a BNIB C5 Laredo for about $160 not too long ago.
SOG Seal Pup for about $50 years ago.
