Junk Knife venders ARE good for something....

We have our carnival thing up here this week. I was there last night. Had to hit the crap venders...
I was able to pick up a set of 3, 2" linerlock knifes. 1 like the wegner in blade shape(plain), the other 2 (80/20 egde) are almost like the native(but with a thinner profile(less belly)...
Got them for $30 and they can be dismantled. My only problem with these is that:
1> on the plain-edge the liner goes agout 20% across
2> the closed 80/20 goes 50% but has too much movement(horizontal)
3> the indexed 80/20 goes 80-90% and when loosened up allows the liner to travel too far and go OVER the blade.
I tightened and oiled them up.
Basically I spent $10/knife, and these are going to be abuse knives. If it breaks, so what? I still got my fun... I'll let you guys know how long one of these holds up. carrying the 80/20 closed handle now.
We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...
