PROOF that it pays to take a closer look!

I spent several days last week at a large outdoor antique flea market. Toward the end of one day, I found a vendor that had several rolls laid out full of obviously China made new knives. Priced at $15 each. I started to walk away, but then I thought "sometimes a good knife gets mixed in with the low end knives".
So I took a carfeul look and found this knife - a Bluegrass/Winchester made by Queen - jumbo stockman whittler with honey bone handles - MINT. Not bad for $15.

Your years of experience has paid off more than a few times, I'm sure.
A great find.
