Whats your best deal you ever got on a knife?

Most would say the best deal was whenI got a BM 750 for $50.

However, I was much happier with the $50 I spent on my AG Russell Featherlite.

Ummm i've had a few good pawnshop knife finds. 4 years ago i found a buck 119+spyderco co-pilot for 25$ Canadian total. Also about 10 years ago i found a Coleman-Western Bowie (Carbon steel 9 inchish blade) for 50 $ Canadian, (the Canadian dollar was very low at the time so that would equal to about 35$ U.S). The buck was mint, the spyderco was a little scratched up and dull but fully functional, the western was in near mint condition.
Actually i also found an old tramontina bowie with cracked wobbly faux stag handle for 5 bucks in a curiosity shop. From a collectors POV it may not be worth anything but it was and is a good knife. Its at least 20-30 years old, has a 1/4 inch thick carbon ("carbono") steel blade with a full tang, the overall length is 15 inches with 9 1/4 inch blade. I used it as a throwing knife for years and finally rehandled it last year making it a proper "using" knife.
 
emerson collectors association zero bevel grind satin finish persian tactical for $205.

worth ~$500 or so now.
 
$40.00 each for two unused Gerber first production run SLG 3.35, Carbon Fiber handled, ATS-34 knives. Both retail for $100.00 each, if you can find them.

I also bought several BM Griptilians on the 'bay for about 40.00 each.

...Now if only I could find that Benchmade carbon-fiber Osbourne for under $100.00, I'd really be in business.
 
Got a mint Puma 745 in the green and yellow box on ebay a few years back for $66 bucks. Has absolutely gorgeous stag scales.

best deal i ever got on a knife was during deer season when one of my dogs brought a blood covered, case stag slab side fixed blade home from the woods. only thing was he forgot the sheath.
 
a pawn shop, Viele II nib for $60.00 and a Surefire C2 mil. hard anodized for $20.00...guess that made the Viele free.
 
$75 for an original Spyderco P.I.G. Police Model.

$250 for a Chris Reeve large Sebenza with bocote inlay, dual studs and damascus blade.

Best deal ever was 6 new Cold Steel fixed blades for $75 at a flea market.
