At todays gunshow....

Post by kugr »

I finally decided to check out San Antonio's big gunshow... not that big... but I did find some goodies... shouldn't have... but I did, haha.
They all work, safeties work, overall, not bad.
The schrades, meh, not worried, maybe sell em off.
The imperial, weak.
The microtech executive scarab, might be a fake, might not. More investigation is needed.

I'll be darned. The button side of the locktab seems to have that swedge shape to pick to close and the brass lined swiveling bolster through me off. But, nice finds for sure!

Nice selections you have, good variety. I love that horn pattern on the middle one. Both sides have cool designs!

Nice grab. You have some real gems there.

Hard to say for certain without seeing the blade, but I'm pretty sure the Scarab is a Chinese knockoff, as I can clearly see a reflection of the pocket clip in the handle finish. Microtech bead-blasts their alloy handles to a nonslip matte finish before anodizing, while the Chinese clones and counterfeits are usually left semi-glossy. But even if it isn't a high-zoot collectible, it's still a handy user.
