A brand new Colonial knife used to be affordable to anyone that really wanted one. Since they've stopped making them some people can't resist the temptation to capitolize for excessive profits. Would this be considered price gouging? Is the value of the dollar dropping at this alarming of a rate? Can this person see into the future or was this knife actually brought back from the future in some kind of time machine? ::shrug:: :mrgreen: After purchasing this and going without lunch and dinner for 3 nights, I found myself pondering over what I had just done in an attempt to sidetrack my mind from the sound of my stomach growling. Then my stomach freaked me out in a way that left me shaking, :shock: I'm still losing sleep over it to this day. But after pondering whilst starving for that knife with stomach grrrOWLing from out of the growl my stomach asked me a question. ::uc:: ::hmm:: Can I afford Colonial? ::woot:: ::groove:: ::groove:: ::groove::

You gonna take er out of the package, tater? You won't find the knife alone in better shape for sure!

I've payed about the same for a fixed blade in the pack (where it will stay).
Normally I pay around $20 - $30 (sometimes less... as low as $10 if I luck out) for them still in the package... again where they stay.
I clearly have an addiction to the blister packs - just click on my images! Several of them have the original price on them.

There has DEFINITELY been an increase in price on them over the past few years.

Those little stockman's have 3 springs - pretty cool knives. And now ya can slice the bologna - breakfast, lunch, and dinner :lol:
