Important Notice!

These items are “Second Quality” with one or more imperfections. They are not “First Quality” and are sold at a discounted rate, because they do not meet our “First Quality” standard. The items pictured are an example of the pattern, NOT an image of the exact knife you will receive. While the item you receive will function as safely as any First Quality knife, it is ideal as a “user” or “tinkerer” not a collectible and is sold “as-is” with no return or refund after purchase. Seconds Sale items do not qualify for any other discount or coupon code.

What is a Second?

In general, Seconds have a “look” or “feel” that is not in line with First Quality. It will have one or more of the following imperfections: discoloration or wide variation in the handle dye, imperfect jigging, small cracks or fractures near pins, minor blade/bolster/shield imperfections like scratches or poor polish, minor blade wobble, weak or “mushy” blade stops, light pull between stops, poor blade centering (without rub), minor gapping in liners or between handle material and liners, and rough or unfinished edges or transition. Imperfections vary widely and you may or may not be able to find the imperfection that we found in QC.
