    Did anyone see the dive watch on the shelf write there where the knives were? Black face black wrist strap, I would've asked about that too a long with the knives. I'm not sure but it looked like a Seiko diver, nice quality watch. Mr knife Dr brought in a haul of knives today. The first pawn shop had the best selection and best prices. Great job taken em down Doctor. Take care.😊

    @@contraband1543 I am originally from South Africa so I have grown up always having a penknife on me. The laws here are that the blade cannot have any locking mechanism and must be under three inches. I have several Swiss Army knives (always one on my keyring) and I have a simple victorinox Swiss army blade only. Very non offensive so should not cause an issue if I am stopped with it. I also have a small Opinel and a small non locking Laguiole from france that I can alternate with. Other than that I have a few knives from Sa which are considered Illegal here so they stay at home I should also add that if I go camping I have a simple Mora fixed blade. This is technically not legal to carry but provided it is in my car boot (trunk) and I have camping gear it is a bit of a grey area and I should be fine. I am loving this series and seeing all of the available knives in the states. It almost seems that you could pick up a decent bargain wherever you go as long as you are happy to spend some time looking. Thank you for your question

    They have recently started producing knives in the US again with better materials. Gerber knives used to be manufactured in Oregon and were well known for their quality at one point in time. Once they sold to Fiskars the quality of course went south.. They have a bad reputation now, but they’re slowly trying to redeem themselves. Hopefully it stays!
