Excited for these, wish they would have done bails for at least one of the upcoming releases.

Probably a $1,000 knife, Jerry. ::facepalm::
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Have you perused eBay "Buy It Now" prices on older GECs? ::mdm::

Per your suggestion, I just did that. I noticed I MIGHT get around $300 (if I were inclined to sell, which I'm not). Looks like most (but not all) of my GEC's are going for appx. twice what I paid for them. ::shrug:: Seems like it's currently a bull market in pocket knives.

The flippers waste no time. My life would be so much easier if I could be that shameless.

If the person that acquired from the distributor is a collector, then trading is the better way to go, imho.

If that's what the White Owl is going for, I hate to see what they're going to be charging for the #94 Liberty.

I got one, it was less than some of the other distributors and less than ebay. Time will tell if I could of waited and got it for less.
