I watched a few You Tubes last night of folks that bought knives allegedly from TSA seizures by the pound.
First it astounded me that folks that seem to know as little about knives as the presenters would even imagine they might break even on such a deal.
Second several felt the whole box o' knives thing was a scam and they had been had.
Third If it WAS actually seizures it just goes to show a lot of folks carry knives ... and cheap crappy ones!
I think around here we forget that for most folks a knife is just a tool... and most folks don't buy the best.
It also made me wonder if folks were going like "what the heck, I will carry this POS and if I don't get caught by TSA still have a knife and if I do, no real loss"
One thing that struck me is that one handed openers and "leatherman" like tools FAR out numbered the old common folding knife slip joint.
I also wondered if the reason no "good" knifes were showing up might be because the seized knives get culled by TSA knife affecianados for their own collections and or sales value
What do you guys think.
Me I learned not to buy a pig in a poke a long time ago, but some folks like cats.
