They have a deal $160 for 100 knives. Basically 94 folding knives (even ration 2 inch closed, 3 inch closed and 4inch closed) a couple fixed blades, two big fixed blades, a machete and a Samurai sword. <br /><br />They have a huge catalog and pretty decent prices I think.Adam Timbermannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-33672336723816481562018-01-13T12:37:18.743-08:002018-01-13T12:37:18.743-08:00You can never have too many knives.

It’s almost as if they’re having Habib deliver it personally via camel express. Now lately I’ve noticed that Amazon has slowed down a bit, and it seems that I usually have to wait over a week to receive anything with standard shipping.<br /><br />The promo’s you want to look for Jim are the 20% to 30%, plus free shipping if over X amount of dollars (It’s usually no more than $49. But if you’re buying cheaper knives, then keep an eye out for the free shipping promo’s. Also the BOGO’s (But one get one) and closeouts can fetch some good deals. <br /><br />http://www.budk.com/BUDK-promo-codesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-5137596874026335072018-01-13T10:40:02.276-08:002018-01-13T10:40:02.276-08:00Compared to Amazon, most stuff seems slow in deliv...Compared to Amazon, most stuff seems slow in delivery.

For me, since I don’t generally purchase the higher priced knives, it’s the free shipping promo’s that provide the best value, and they usually offer this 6 to 8 times a year I’d say. But if you’re paying much more for a higher quality knife, the 30% prom could end up saving you even more. You have to weigh the value of the promo vs what you’re spending. They also sell quite a few survival related items.<br /><br />Also, and I don’t know why, but standard shipping has always been painfully slow from these folks, so don’t expect to get anything in a hurry.

It just seems that they used to have a lot more cheap working knives than the now norm of mostly expensive gay ninja cutters.

It threw off decent light, but you must have the wick adjusted properly or they throw off a lot of soot. When I clicked on your link, I also saw the Coleman dual fuel lanterns and stoves. These might not be a bad way to go because in addition to Coleman fuel, they also use unleaded gasoline. Post collapse, this could have some value, as for a while anyways, you will be able to find some gasoline.<br /><br />I made an alcohol stove from a soda can and it worked pretty good (lots of info on youtube on this). I also picked up a few professionally made alcohol stoves from Amazon pretty cheap. There was a bloke on the radio last night that was discussing alcohol as an alternative fuel, and in his book I believe he mentions plans for a still. But he’s asking a king’s ransom for it, so for anyone wanting one, buy the used copy for $10.<br /><br />Alcohol Can Be a Gas!: Fueling an Ethanol Revolution for the 21st Century<br /><br />https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0979043778/ctocAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-287190495223502602018-01-11T21:03:04.030-08:002018-01-11T21:03:04.030-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Baker Axtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457450069709807860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-62687583649055542182018-01-11T18:10:16.416-08:002018-01-11T18:10:16.416-08:00Spare parts, or replacements, locally.
