Well it sucked.Was supposed to meet spydieman there and missed him some how.I did trade for a Navigator and a Spydercard.The one big knife dealer that sets up there raised his prices about 30%,hollidays I guess.Last show Lum 109.00 this show 159.00.Went from there to SMKWs and ended up getting a CE Wegner.

I went to a gun show today and pretty good, I think. Picked up a <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Perrin FB in a trade. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I'm sorry Jeff. we were looking for you hoping we would find you at the knife stand. We (my son was with me) were there from about 10 until 1:30. We kept hanging out around Kentucky Cutlery, who had the best Spyderco selection I could find there. I bought a g-10 Millie PE new without the box for $75 and my son picked up a Howard Vielle SE for $65. Sorry we didn't get to meet up. Some more shows are coming up this month. Let's try it again.

Spyderfreak,
Good to see you growing in the "Way of the Spyder". Congrats on your Viele! Prices on e-bay range from $56 - 80 so you done good. She's a smooth opening and refined (classy) looking knife. Would have said more on your other post but thought I'd go for the short answer for a change! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Yeah,that was it.He ussally has alot better prices but I guess with all the Xmas spending everyone is getting all they can.Last show he was like 100.00 to 110.00 on Millitaries and today he was 135.00.
BTW I talked to one of his helpers instead of the owner,Might have made a differance.The SE Milli hanging on the top of the display case in the clam pack was the same one I traded him at the last show.

Man, $150 for the Chinese folder, Jeff (the son) priced me that one at the last show for $115. I talked with Jerry (the father) this time but didn't ask him about the Chinese folder. He offered me the Military for $75 with no box without even an inquiry from me. He tried to sell my son a Lum Tanto folder used for $75 with a rough looking aluminum handle and went down to $65 but I talked my son into getting the Viele instead. Hopefully his prices will go down next trip. His son said he had a Civie G10 that he has carried but never used with some very minor wear on the pocket clip and offered it to me for $125. I didn't get to look at it though. I think my next <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> will be the civie.
Mark.

I went back today and tried to trade him out of a MT lightfoot he had 125.00 on(great deal)and he wouldn't trade for Spydies.Said he had to many that the price was being undercut on.
