Any of you CO natives ever go to the outlet store?

What knives are in stock at the factory outlet store?

I'm torn between several models and really just want to hold them all before making a commitment on just one (blasphemy I know).

I'm thinking of going on Saturday and was curious if there is a large selection of current and past knives available, and to get an idea of prices...anyone care to chime in?

I'm kind of in the same boat. I'm in CO but have never been to the outlet. I'm torn between a Chaparral and a Native 5. I'd like to go handle both of them to help me decide, but I'm afraid that I'll just end up getting both haha.

Sorry I cant help much, but I'm interested to hear more also.

I'm interested in Sage 2-3-4, Native 5, Stretch, Chaparral, Gayle Bradley, Endura, Tuff, Manix 2, Dragonfly, Techno, Bushcraft, Delica, PM2, Military and a few more.

I'll buy the one that I like best, just that simple!

With a list like that you better find out how much the most expensive one costs and only take that much money. I think I would have to walk out with at least two. Especially when the list ends with "and a few more". :D

When they ask you "what would you like?", just say YES. :)

I'm interested in holding every knife I can, but only want to buy the right one. I'm hoping to find a favorite.

Oh, you really should go. Hey, I went and I live on another continent. ;)

They only have current knives (but plenty of them) and they 'reward' folks taking the trouble to go to the outlet. Enjoy your trip!

I go there all the time, feels a lot like going to the bank, I hand them all my money but it never seems to show up in my account.

When I was there a couple weeks ago they had everything in stock on your wish list except the bushcraft. The employees at the store are top knotch and will show you whatever your heart desires and provide excellent guidence an advice.

They have a great selection. Prices are not as competitive as their dealers but I think that's done to encourage using their network. Friendly staff and it is usually a challenge not to buy everything.

I agree with that the staff there is awesome. They'll let you hold anything in the case. They also have the entire Byrd line on display there. If you are ever close I would recommend stopping by. I'm taking my own advise and going there Monday.
