I visited one of my local knife stores today to see if they had anything new and interesting. I came across a few sharp and pointies that caught my attention. This is the type of store that sells lots of junk knives along with a few nice knives. It's like the needle in the haystack thing.
I saw an older Benchmade that I didn't recognize. It had the Axis lock, it was a numbered blade (9## out of 1000) pre-production or prototype. The steel was 440C. I'll have to look this one up or maybe someone here might know what it is.
I saw a Buck/Strider 881T (Tanto). 3 inch blade of ATS-34 steel with BOS heat treat. 4 inch G-10 handles with Titanium liner lock. He was asking $120. Is that a good deal or just ok? Does anyone know about this knife?
I happened across a Ka-Bar Dozier Folding Hunter with a modified drop point. He was asking $29.95 but because I'm sort of a regular, he sold it to me for $20. This knife is 4 1/2 inches closed with a 3 inch blade of AUS8. It's very lightweight, has a zytel handle, lock back, lanyard hole, reversible pocket clip, and reversible thumb stud. There is absolutely ZERO play in the blade.
This is alot of knife for the money.
