Thanks! Just put in a large order. Those sales are crazy...

Super good sale at Eknives in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Chaves knives!
Gotta say, the Chaves 229 Rendencion Lee Williams Kickstop is as every bit as good or maybe a touch smoother even than a Hinderer! I've had plenty of Tri-Way Hinderers to know
At any rate, the 229 Kickstop is on sale for $280!! They're regularly $410
I actually bought another Chaves from them today, this time I got the 229 Liberation Tanto for $265!
They're regularly $375
Here's a video on the Liberation 229 Tanto - it's not a flipper- and the actions on these are phenomenal

I missed this one and just now saw this but luckily I caught the one at Blade HQ for $287. You’re not kidding though on how smooth this thing is. And the fit and finish is really incredible.

It's just really wonderful to get one at that price.
That's a real deal for sure. And enjoy the heck out of it. And be warned, when you sharpen her and get into that steel a little, she comes on like a freight train

That's awesome to hear man! I'm definitely going to enjoy this very sharp factory edge for a bit and then I'll throw it on the Edge Pro and hit it with the Edge Pro diamond matrix stones. I love how you unlock it and just start to close it a hair and then a light shake and it just drops all the way home and has that VERY solid clink at the detent.

$10 poor mans Bugout. I guess the new version is D2 and more than decent if you set your expectations appropriately

MidwayUSA has a 25% off sale on qualifying Cold Steel models. Click on the red "special offer available" tag to add the sale code and shop the qualifying models.

Recon M1 (Magnacut) is ~$146.24
Lots of other knives available also including the Blackout Mayhem and the 3V SRK.

[vivi]

$81 shipped for the 3V SRK is a stupid good deal. Lots of companies selling 8Cr and 1075 fixed blades for a similar price.

I've beaten on two this past year and have nothing but good things to say about them. I dig the SK5 versions too but these hold an edge and resist corrosion much better while still being easy to sharpen.

Might as well order myself a third.

Do you all think we will ever see a new wave of great lockblade folders coming from Japan, a rebirth of what they did in the 1970s through the 1990s, or because of economics that is forever past?

Indiana Knives now has a "make offer" section, with a handful of Spyderco models.. new Black Police, Sage 6, Harpy, a bunch of Spy27 models, Military 2 Salt.. along with other brands - Mostly Benchmade, but there are some Microtech & Demko as well..

https://indianaknives.com/collections/make-offer

I was able to acquire the newly-released (and grossly-overpriced at $450) Benchmade 710-25 for $300 shipped..

I'm not sure how low Eric is willing to price all these models, but I've gotten some seriously good deals from him in the past and I like that he's trying out this new "make offer" option.. I'm guessing reasonable offers of 15-25% off MAP would be entertained, maybe a little higher on some of the Benchmade models..

16" machete US made, micarta scales, 5160 coated blade with good heat treat, decent included sheath.

$45

I used one a lot over this spring and summer, and liked it enough to order a back-up. Very good deal on a discontinued product that won't ever be made again.
