When someone mentions the word "Big Lots," we tend to think of a store that sells surplus / secondhand / refurbished merchandise at dirt cheap prices.
Despite this perception (which is mostly true), I decided to take a peek at the local Big Lots near my home, and found a bunch of lockback knives on sale, for 5 bucks apiece.
These weren't the typical junk knives that you see at the gun shows for 7-8 bucks. Instead, there were a good helping of Smith and Wesson Extreme Ops folding knives that have the aluminum handles on them (normally 20 bucks apiece), along with their "Homeland Security" knives (normally 25 bucks apiece), as well as their rubber gripped folders (normally 15 bucks apiece).
Each of them were the real thing, not forgeries, and have the nice razor sharp edge on them. Not bad for 5 bucks each!
While I'm 54 dollars poorer after this weekend, at least I feel a bit less saddened by the fact that I missed out on the local gun show last week.
