Good point, Eugene. I should have gone into a bit more detail.
Big Lots often carries name brand gear at ridiculously low prices when it is discontinued. I saw a Coleman flourescent lantern there recently for $4 or so.
Harbor Freight has some low quality junk, for sure, but some items may be suitable for occaisional or one time use.
I use craftsman tools myself, but keep some stuff in the trunk of the car that I don't mind tearing up, giving away, or losing.

I bought a Cold Steel throwing knife on sale for $20.00.

Randjack,

What Cold Steel model are you talking about? Is it the True Flight Thrower, the Pro Flight Thrower, or the Sure Flight Thrower? I am thinking of getting a factory second True Flight Thrower when Cold Steel comes to a Phoenix gun show this December. I think I’ll get a sheath for it at the same time. I also plan to get one of there SRK seconds. The last time they came to Phoenix I got a Master Hunter for $20. It was in great shape and is a great knife!

that is the question

Major's Surplus 'n' Supply- a bunch of good stuff, and a bit of junk. Look it over- I should warn you that thier best buys are things like three british mess kits for 10 bucks. I pick the best one, and gift away or ebay the others. Of the best two. Ah, heck, who am I kidding, I kept all three. :P

Sportsman's Guide- As above, but more novelty stuff.

Smokey Mountain Knife Works- blades good, bad and indifferent, and real good prices.

County Comm- best price for a lot of stuff, and good customer service.

Ebay- look at the regular auctions, but also look at the seizure and state/federal surplus items. And you really want to look at the "Ebay Stores"- inventory changes, but I've saved a ton or ten that way.

No, but it sounds like we've got a common problem, the wife's attitude, that is.
