The Citadel is one of the few knives i would buy just to have and not carry, if only i could legally order one. Too bad.

I was hoping to pick up a Ti UKPK for a low price, but I'm not finding the deals I was hoping for. I guess it makes sense, I doubt that retailers will have a problem shifting them.

If anything, I can see the prices on most of those disco'ed models to go up now instead of down.

GPK has fairly good prices for disc models. Not a steal, but better that CS.

Usually poor selling models have a lot of inventory needing to be moved, so the prices go down.
Sometimes a discontinued model has a small amount of inventory in the pipeline and the price goes up.
Our reason is quite satisfied, in 999 cases out of every 1000 of us, if we can find a few arguments that will do to recite in case our credulity is criticized by someone else. Our faith is faith in someone else's faith, and in the greatest matters this is most the case.The Will to Believe , a guest lecture at Yale University in 1897

They often go down from dealers when disco'd, followed by a nice spike once they're gone from dealers. Not every knife/retailer is the same, but you can usually get disco'd models at a pretty good price since they are likely getting disco'd b/c they weren't big sellers

Not as many blowouts as years past. As others said, GPK seems like they have good prices.

I guess not too much unsold stock sitting on shelves this year. I haven't seen any unbelievable deals yet.
