Thanks. (I'm trying to decipher your handle. Looks like guitar-click-track. My Dad's folks are from Taswell). O'.

Re: Lucky Day
Thanks Joe and Red. The box is a little crushed, but, what the hey? O'.
WKG: My "contacts" know I'll buy most any knife or give them a reasonable estimate of what I think they could get if I don't want it. The Old Timer was already priced, but I did give a little donation which I often do if the price is low. They're usually not priced and we haggle a bit. I'm fair and they don't pay for the items anyway, so it's a nice relationship. O'.

Re: Lucky Day
Good stuff buddy. I am also trying my best to network with the local thrift stores, and a few people who do storage locker clean outs. The service i provide is ill buy the junk and China made ones too as sort of a favor. Though i must say, chatting with all these older fellas all the time is rewarding enough in and of itself. But first chance and good prices are cool tooRidgegrass wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2024 1:45 pm Thanks Joe and Red. The box is a little crushed, but, what the hey? O'.

Re: Lucky Day
I happen upon quite a bit of Asian stuff for a buck or two or free. I then give 10 or so to the shop and she has them in a box near the cash register. She says they go well for $5 apiece. Works for the shop so I get first pick on what comes in. Can't say its often, maybe once every two months.

Re: Lucky Day
Our thrift stores have glass display cases with all kinds of donated stuff, including kitchen knives. But never any pocketknives. Maybe it's a policy thing.
