OTF Automatics at the 1500?

[Expat]

I think Brad is at the Fort Wayne show this weekend.

i wonder if brads ears are on fire?

You're never gonna believe this ****. I stumbled into a knife shop yesterday and apparently it's owned by some dude named Brad. He took all the good inventory with him to a show and red just isn't my color so I walked out empty handed. But now that I know where this Brad guy stores his knives between shows, I'll be sure to go back by next week.

What's got two thumbs and just saved $17 in parking and admission fees?

And where might this fine shop owned by one Brad be located?

Just so you know the inventory in my store does not reflect what I have on hand or what I have for the website.....two different sets of inventory. Right now I'm basically down to just a few Ultratech models, I got absolutely hammered in sales for December. I do have 11 different models coming this week, but they will never make it to the store. They will be at the Indy 1500 if you would like to check them out.

Just in case no one else mentioned it, the only names in knives are "Brad" and "Knife Lady."

I got my microtech from brad at the last 1500. He's not near as nice as knife lady but he still has great prices on legit blades.

I'm in no hurry and now that I know you're right around the corner, let me know if you have any after the show and I'll swing over and pick one up.

Brad is good people, as are all former Galyan's employees.

Once Brad knows your preferences, he will track you down at gun shows and sell you knives you will like. This has happened to a friend of mine.

I've carried my Benchmade Mini-Infidel OTF since 2013 and it is my favorite of all my carry knives. I purchased from Blade HQ ( great customer service) but I would definitely check Brad's as well. Great knife and super concealable and always a good add to the gun porn. View attachment 62726 View attachment 62728

Just got back from the 1500, with the exception of Brads table there were ****ty chinese OTF's literally everywhere and for sky high prices!! These scumbags are charging $70-$120 for a chinese knife made of essentially glorified unheat treated pot metal that was originally only ~$25!!

Yup. They're crap and there's a lot of them out with and many people proud of themselves because they think they got a knife that looks like and is the same quality as a Microtech for only $50 or less and they don't give two craps whether its a knock off or not

 

[Bradsknives]

I'm seeing a lot more cheap low quality OTF knives than normal, which is fine. You want cheap, buy cheap. You want quality, step up and buy quality. What really concerns me the most about this show is the number of counterfeits (not to be confused with the clones) I'm seeing, including Benchmade, Microtech, Strider, and others.....some of them are very good and getting hard to detect. Then you have the few that are selling the cheap low quality OTF knives that are made in China and telling people that they are USA made...totally misrepresenting the product and gouging you on the price It's definitely a buyers beware market at this show.

It's almost as if it were a good idea to do business with a dealer who has established a long term reputation for integrity and ethical business practices and has a long list of repeat customers who can and do honestly and candidly recommend that dealer without reservation.

Now . . . who might be such a dealer . . .

I won't name names, but their initials are BRAD and KNIFE LADY (see, you can tell it's just initials because I used all caps, and okay, I used the X-treme version of initials by using the initial letter of each letter in their names, not just the first).

I picked up a new Benchmade from Brad & Knife Lady at the show. Definitely top shelf inventory and some sweet collectibles! I hear there is a storefront in Noblesville? I need to pick up an Ultratech! SE/OTF
