As for the sale and items included, mostly and largely seconds. Trays upon trays of seconds, blemished, bad, rusted, and over-runs. But, the prices were way better than I was expecting. Most were $11.50 to $16.00!!! Some less, some more. You picked through the tray until you found one you were satisfied with, or a worker moved the tray on top to reveal more underneath. Very few of the large folders and fixed blades had sheathes, the ones that did was $3 extra. Mostly grouped by pattern and handle material. Enough to make a man cross-eyed
So not knowing what would be available, nor prices, and my limited funds, I had decided that I would concentrate on finding something with real bone of some sort, because everything in my 'accumulation' is some type of plastic. Holy Cow! Did they ever have the bone laid out
Despite the drool factor, these were seconds, so I held back a little. Only 4 knives came home: 2 stags, 1 jigged 'delrin' and one oak. I'll post those later in the "New Pickups" thread (have not taken pics yet) and link it to this post. I'm still learnin' this picture thing, so Bear with me (<see what I did there
First, the outside of the factory. Rather non-descript. You probably wouldn't give a second look.
Next, just in the door. They give you a small pail and a numbered piece of paper. When you pick out a knife, it goes in your bucket, and a worker writes the price on you paper. Here, the big guy in the middle, in the white shirt, is Ken Griffey, President of B&S. Nice fellow!
Third, a tray of stag stockmans.
Next, lots of 'official' BSA, GSA, and Cub knives. With and without shields and /or blade etchings.
