PSA: Saw a guy at the Columbus show pull a $400 custom slip joint from a display with zero paper between the liners
Was at the Buckeye Blade Expo in Columbus last weekend and watched a dealer hand a guy a $400 custom slip joint that had been sitting in his display case rubbing against the next knife all day. The liners had two fresh scratches and the guy still paid full price because he never checked the back side before handing over cash. Take 30 seconds and open every blade you buy, even from a guy you trust, because case wear is the number one thing people miss. What is your go to move for checking a knife before money changes hands?
