   A collection of budget knives and used Leathermans I got for great prices

   I got these for:

   – $28 before shipping for the used Skeletool
   – $36 before shipping for the used Wave
   – $22 before shipping for the used Squirt
   – $14 before shipping for the used Micra
   – $25 new for the Harbor Freight Gordon Buck 119 clone
   – $10 new for the Ozark Trail knife

   For a total of $135.

   Obviously, used tools are not completely comparable to new tools, and obviously, knockoffs are not replacements for the original things they’re copying …………. but, if we *did* compare these prices to how much it would cost to buy the real version of each of these things new, as of 30 Sept 2024, it’d be …

   – $75 for the Skeletool new
   – $120 for the Wave new
   – $50 for the Micra new
   – $50 for the Squirt on Ebay, which is the only place you can get it
   – $75 for a new Buck 119
   – $180 for a new Benchmade Bugout

   For a total of $550.

   Again, obviously, I’m just totaling that up for fun. An Ozark Trail knife is made out of worse steel than a Bugout, and won’t last as long. I just think it’s enjoyable to bargain hunt and maximize bang-for-buck.
