Ontario Knife XM-1S....

[alex]

I don't come across great deals very often...so this is a non-typical post for me...

Today I was at a local mil-surp that I go into mostly just to check on the lady who runs it. She's German and I enjoy her stories more than anything. When it comes to knives they have the typical gamut of junk china made stuff...but today I notice in the case a few Ka-Bar's (Commemorative) a new Leatherman Wave and two Ontario Knife Company boxes. I ask to see the OKC knife and notice it's a very well made knife and decide to purchase it for the marked price of $39.95. I get it home and find out it's got a standard retail price of $129.00! So...with that said...tomorrow I'll be calling her around 10:00am and getting her to hold the other till I can get by there. She even said on of the troops that came in told her that it sold at the PX for over $120.00!!!

Here's a link to the knife at SMKW www.smkw.com/webapp/eCommerce/products/Ontario+Knife+Co.+ON8755/Ontario%26reg%3B+XM-1%26%23153%3B+Extreme%26%23153%3B+Military+with+Gray+Aluminum+Handle+-+Partially+Serrated+Blade/ON8755.html

Not yet...I've only got the one (until I can pick up the other) and I've got a buddy heading down country in December...it may be clipped to his vest.
