I paid less for this GEC Bull Nose when it was new than a Case Sod Buster Jr. new costs today.

Nice knife, José; blade, quail etch, rustic handle all splendid!

I missed this thread yesterday.
I should have posted this Rough Rider stag bone canoe. (RR does stag bone MUCH better now than they did when they made this knife almost 10 years ago.)

I bought this Buck 110 in a Clam Pac at Walmart for $36.98 in 2010. Pretty thrifty I'd say.

They really were a bargain up until recently, weren’t they?

I have seven #53 Cubans (large, 3-blade knives) that I paid less than $75 for each one, and another 15 that were between $75 and $100.

I keep a spreadsheet of all my GEC knives (well, most of them… it needs updating). Looking at some of the old prices can be depressing. I should’ve bought anything and everything available.
