Thank you.Looks legit and easy to find. I searched for the name plus blister pack -> scrolled to the reddit results -> found posts saying they got the same direct from Cold Steel
I've gotten several Cold Steel in clam shell packs , from a source that's 100% reliable .I’ve just picked up a Cold Steel AD15 lite off EBay from a US seller. The knife came in blister packaging. This is only my second cold steel, so I was wondering if this is normal package or did I get duped ? Please let me know.
Thank you.
a few makers do this for box stores who want clam packs over boxes. Bucks been doing this for years for some Walmarts as an example......
weirdly some Walmarts have clam packs and some have boxes....
yep thats exactly it. has to do with how the sporting section is setup. it's weird though that they are setup differently, but sure it makes sense or they wouldn't do it different.My guess is it has something to with local plan-o-gram of the Walmart. Some Walmarts still have a glass counter with knives behind it. Some have a glass case with pegs. Some just have their knives sitting freely on hooks. I would imagine blister packs make inventory easier as a sealed package is tougher for the product to get "lost" than a box. Plus they are instant marketing if one doesn't have a glass case for display. The purchaser can monkey-finger all over it without Walmart needing to worry about some dummy cutting themselves before they get off property.
I've only seen this for the more budget models . So far .That's the current state of Cold Steel - they sell in blister pacs
