What's the BEST KNIFE DEAL You Ever Got?

NIB Emerson HD-7 for 220.
Through a web of trades I wound up with a BG-42 Sebenza for 90.
 
I bought a NIB Benchmade mini AFCK with M2 in a local shop for 120. And the best part was they had another mini AFCK for 100 that i bought, sold for 160, used that to buy a 806D2 AFCK II ($140 at the same shop), then traded it across for a NIB Infidel. Cant complain with free.
 
At a knife show one guy was selling old Italian autos as new models for about 1/10 of the actual price. I would have told him but he was the kind of "I know all" person so instead I bought all of them. I bet he still thinks that I was the most stupid customer he ever had :D
 
Back in the mid 70's I wandered into a china/cutlery store in La Jolla, CA. It was mostly a place for brides to pick out their china and silverware. They had a table with a few items on sale. They had a Gerber Magnum Hunter with the dark grey armorhide handle for $15. They found the sheath for it in the back still in perfect condition. I was sold.
 
I just picked up a D2 Para-Mili on the 'bay for just $91. Thought that was a pretty good deal for a knife that I had been lusting over for some time.
 
best deal i got was an ag russel cm-6 premier?(etched bolsters and blade) for $75, then its matching sn cm-2 w/ shaw/liebowitz engraved blade for $50 from a pawn shop on ebay both mint
 
I just bought a beater Delica for $3 at a flea market. Had a broken tip, which I ground out on a bench grinder, and it actually looks halfway decent - a profile thats somewhere between a D3 and D4. Worked it over real good on some DMT Dia-sharp stones and got it nice and sharp.
 
About 3 months ago, a fellow forum member brboru7 sold me a bnib emerson cqc-8 for $50.00. I was so happy I gave him $55.00.

Although I haven't recieved it yet, A spyderco t-mag for $50 + $8 shipping. I got it through the spyderco website. It's got CF scales, s30v blade, and titanium liners. The msrp was $250, and online the cheapest I've seen it was $150. So, I'd say I got a good deal ! (as of the time of my reply, they still have them in stock)
 
I picked up a brand new Busse Game Warden for $160 off the exchange here...

Damn, it was great to be first in line for once!
 
Camillus Talon for $150. It’s a pretty freaky metal. Glad I got one when I did.

BM 610 Rukus for $75. A major retailer was discontinuing them.
 
I got a NIB Marine Kabar and a few AR-15 mags for some gear I never use. I also got a Gerber Applegate Combat Folder for free. But I traded it and a Surefire G2 for a Surefire A2 Aviator.
 
How about a Spyderco T-Mag straight from the factory for fifty bucks? No wheeling, dealing, or hassle for carbon fiber, titanium, and S30V. :thumbup:
