I think Vic must be going through their inventory. First the first mates in Sept, then orange and green cadets.

Oh yeah, got the last two :p

What is CVW?

Oh you mean Central Valley Wholesale.

No need for us in Germanyland to get over excited about the Pruners etc which are available here but I notice they also sell the Green Cadet. (I must admit I prefer the Danish one with the red shield.)


Or rather -- they have more Green Cadets if you missed the first lot. I haven't had my coffee yet.

I'm sure if you asked some of the nice US folk from here, they could reship one to you for much cheaper :) From what I've heard they are not the nicest of sellers out there...

More Green Cadets are available on ebay again. This time, they are selling them as lots of 2, 3, and 4 as will as individually. Seems like they have a good amount to get rid of. I'm trying to decide if I should get one of the lots of 2, or just get one. I better make up my mind this time before they sell out.

Yep. The single Green Cadets are selling out like hot cakes. Better jump on it if you would like to get just one. I just snatched one up for myself. 12 sold in one hour, and only 5 left (probably less after I make this post).

They still have 10 lots of 2 for $48 shipped, 10 lots of 3 for $69.88, and 4 lots of 4 for $89.88. Pretty good deals imo.

Thanks for the heads up! I was able to get one before they were all gone. This is to replace my copper beauty that I lost about 8 or nine years ago. Khaki pockets and bar stools don't mix.
