Took a trip up to the Factory Outlet this weekend
Mods: please move if this post isn't in the right forum.
I honestly don't get up there enough especially when it's nearly right in my back yard. I was really happy to see some models I have been meaning to try in my hand. You can read review after review and look through pictures and it can't really match having the knife in your hands to give you that over all feel.
Anyway, I got a couple of pictures and I look back and wish I would have took more.
Not sure when they changed the color of the signs out front but I really like it and it's much easier to see from the road.
These have been discussed before but I find them interesting. These are custom knives made by Jean-Marc Laroche. Find them ugly, find them neat...either way they are conversation pieces
I also know these WTC knives have been out for a while but they had a really nice display shown here and with a cut-out from the steel they used on the D'Allara. They also have a beautiful display showing actual pieces of the steel beams that you can touch and reflect on. I'll have to get pictures of that set up next time.
One of the knives I held that I instantly fell in love with is the Phoenix!! I had to wait on this one till next pay day.
But I did not go home alone. Picked up a few goodies!!

I really like the bug. I think the SS handle is great and sturdy, the blade is small and thin but still decent quality. I don't it'll hold up for long cutting cardboard boxes but that's not what they were meant for. I think they are still well worth the $7.95 MSRP. I made the mistake of being a first adopter and paid $21 each for 3 of them before I knew the MSRPRIOT wrote:dang i wish i lived close to this place , pretty sweet stuff, how is the bug knife ? by the look of your pics it looks not only small but real thin too ?
7.95 ? is that how much they cost ? i just paid 17.95 at Spydieguys, either way they are pretty cool, did they say if they were just a limited production item only ?cougar337 wrote:I really like the bug.

I just edited my post. I did the same thing and bought them from Spidieguys before knowing the MSRP oh well. These in the photo I bought from the SFO for less, much less. I don't know the whole story on them, just that they are meant to be fun items for spydie nuts like usRIOT wrote:7.95 ? is that how much they cost ? i just paid 17.95 at Spydieguys, either way they are pretty cool, did they say if they were just a limited production item only ?
Just thought I would add. The reason they are more expensive from SpydieGuys is because of the Ball chain that comes with them... Those chains are actually pretty expensive. And are in actual fact about $10 thus explaining the price difference. That said... I also got some from Spydie Guys :D

That makes sense, thanks for explaining. Either way I don't regret my purchase.Tricod wrote:Just thought I would add.

I went back up and took a couple more photos of the SFO and thought I would share.
more of the display of the WTC steel
There's a very interesting case displaying Natives and there are quite a few in here I have never seen or 1-offs
There are some WONDERFUL people that work behind the counter and love to help you every step of the way. They are willing to take anything out of the case to let you fondle and admire before you buy or continue to dream!

I always liked the looks of that Native chief. Nice pictures, thanks. Joe
