Heads up
We've had this discussion before but just to alert everyone who wasn't in on it; in the past poorfish has raised it's prices before the sale starts so that the 20% off has little or no benefit. So please look carefully before pulling the trigger.
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.

Well the price is still the same as what it was a few weeks ago on the Military with their April sale. Even with their FedEx shipping you will have a hard time finding cheaper with the 20% off.

looking at the prices they look generally high. doubt if 20% off is achieved or even close. while you might find an individual slightly cheaper than some others with the discount. probubly end up being a few bucks no were close to 20% , i like to save too, but i dislike scams more.Sithus1966 wrote:Well the price is still the same as what it was a few weeks ago on the Military with their April sale.

I don't know what you guys are looking at, but after checking out the website the prices are a few dollars cheaper than kc BEFORE the discount. The prices shown arent the 20% off prices. You put it in your basket and then apply the discount when you checkout. Yes, the knives are cheap with the 20% off!
Man, what's up with you guys, long night last night? :D
I threw a cento 4 in my basket to see what it was all about at $54.99. Used the code, it came to $44 plus $7 and change shipping. Cento 4 for about $50 all in? uh yes please!

Check the prices over time of the Sage 2 and Chokwe as proof. I'm glad other folks have noticed this tactic. I thought it was just me noticing.Sequimite wrote:We've had this discussion before but just to alert everyone who wasn't in on it; in the past poorfish has raised it's prices before the sale starts so that the 20% off has little or no benefit.

I thought I did pretty well snagging a standard satin blade black G10 Military for $114 shipped at Howes during their first "annual" 10% over dealer cost sale at the end of April.

I placed order for a Millie yesterday close to midnight, and just got email that it was already shipped. $119 which includes FedEx-2nd-day is **** good price comparing to what i have seen around so far. These good folks are not kidding around, and my wallet likes them already. Hope i will get actual Millie and not some pink ladybug :)

Any company that will hike their prices just to have a 'sale' is not reputable IMO. There are plenty of companies owned by good honest people who have great prices that I would much rather give my money to. Glad I read this so I know to NEVER buy from poorfish.
Also, comparing prices with knife center doesn't say much since they are consistently more expensive than other online shops. Only reason I would buy from them is to try and get a hard to find Sprint run. And that is assuming you put the order in when it first appears on the website and not months later when the knife is being delivered and hundreds of people have already preordered ahead of you and there is zero chance you will get the knife.
