Great Used Condition

[cody6268]

I noticed this on the store as I Iogged in this morning-- a Gerber 06 said to be in "good condition" for a price barely less than new.

The blade has been heavily resharpened to the point a massive amount of steel is missing, and whoever did so was so ham-fisted they even took some of the serrations with it. Plus, some random guy's name is engraved on the blade. Yet, the seller thinks they can get $199 out of it. Same knife, brand new, is $207. It's neither rare nor vintage either. Heck, I think some branches of the military issue these to troops.

As a new guy to the site, I can say that buying from the store here doesn't mean a good or even a fair price. I frequently see new knives posted here for prices above retail from GPknives.com. Buyer beware and do your research.

I also saw this one, I had to laugh at the description.
I have two of these. One with tanto blade that was US Air Force issue.
The other is a clip point. I bought it used a few years ago in mint condition for less than $100.
This one is missing a lot of blade and the handles are in poor condition.
