Any good place to find deals on used SAKs
on: August 01, 2017, 09:03:11 PM
I love reading the stories of how people find 2 dollar SAKS.  I've never been so lukcy.  Do you recomend any place to look with consitent results?  I know ebay and garage sales, but with shipping charges it still adds up.   Thanks

*Consistent* results? No. Unless you mean consistently bad, in which case the answer is flea markets in my part of the world, where every SAK I've encountered has been abused and overpriced.

Good deals on eBay can be had, but the truly great deals are accompanied by risk. For example, one evening last year I saw an old cross Solo with a buy it now of $9.95, shipped. The listing only had a single, poor-quality photo, but I figured I'd take a shot anyway. When the knife arrived, it was in mint condition. 

I generally prefer to purchase SAKs from the for sale section here. Prices are generally fair, and descriptions are accurate.

The for sale section on here.  :D

eBay always has good deals.  Executives have been listed for rediculously low prices.

I picked up 2 used Execs for $12 each.

Being that I'm here in the Philippines, I'm left with little options but to buy local since shipping is very costly from the North America and Europe.


These days I rely on local Facebook Groups to get bargains.
