All About Pocket Knives

The sight of this knife made me sick to my stomach.

Am I alone?

I see that with 12 hours left it is already up to $1.04.
About what it is worth to most Schrade or Imperial collectors!

I don't trust celluloid to begin with and I would be especially apprehensive of celluloid made in China!

Just my opinion,

well put dale and very true

Wow, it went for $5.76 with free shipping!
I don't think these will be around long if that is all they will sell for.

Figure it cost the seller at least $1.75 to ship it to the buyer and probably 50¢ or more for the envelope of ship it.
So getting it to the buyer cost $2.25, leaving $3.51 to be split between the manufacturer, the importer, distributor, possibly a jobber and the seller. The knife had to be shipped from the factory overseas to the USA and then from the port of entry to the distributor and then the seller.
Even if the seller was the importer I bet he lost money!

Of course this is likely just a fluke. No doubt these are intended to sell for more than $3.51.
But, if that is all they will bring, I don't see these being around for long.

I just saw two LB7ST ( a new Talylor LB7 that has stag scales) one was listed for 45 dollars as a buy it now and the other was a auction which I won for 16 bucks.
Looks like a nice knife, but we shall see.

This is the buy it now one, which I would never pay 45 dollars for
But I would pay 16

I know it's Chinese, but they make OK user knives if polished up nice, it's not like I will be cutting wood with it, most I would do with it is cut fishing line/clean fish etc.
