I couldn't stand it anymore, so in the interest of posting the findings I ordered 10 SAKs for $45.00. They should arrive next week and I'll post what exactly I received. With tax and shipping it came to $58 and change. I guess I can justify some stocking stuffers at that price or worst case return them.

X-ray Dave: I'd think twice about buying these -- or at least make a gentle inquiry of the vendor. They sound to me like knives that were confiscated at airports. I don't think I'd want to support that.

Yes, yes!, we do want them to be knives that were confiscated at airports. If we can tie them in as illegal profits by the TSA which I believe is supposed to destroy them, we could hang a few goose steppers out to dry in the courts.

If they're gonna confiscate it, why not destroy it? Or better yet, have a stack of postage COD envelopes at the security checkpoints and allow people to mail stuff home to themselves. Wait, that's too logical...

It could very well be that these are seconds from imprinters - specialty advertising - and that is what the "personalized" indication is.

I will be very interested in your findings, though.

Correct, cedfire. Logic and the screenerNazis are mutually exclusive terms.
