Heinnie Hayes have/had the Junior at 40% off retail and the Nishijin Cricket for 40% off too.

Is Black Friday/small-business Sat/Cyber Monday a recognizable thing in Europe?
The former and the latter, sadly....

Though, this year, it seems most folks bought online and avoided the madness.
Last year, there was even a stabbing in Ikea not too far from me over a £99 leather sofa.
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Yep. The best price I've seen in a year is around $99 (plus shipping & handling). I just bought a bunch of stuff, so I'll probably be wise to pass...

We need to form a support group, lol. :) Anti-peer-pressure, or something like that. ;) Haha!

I'd participate, but don't put me in charge. We'd fail almost immediately! So far, I'm doing pretty well only picking up blades that have been on my 'annual' plan, but I have to resist some of the deals ending tonight.

Good plan, brother. I've had to literally avert my eyes from the specific deals listed here because my will-power is essentially nil. :o It'll sting a little tonight not buying on the deals, but I'll feel better about myself in the morning.

You guys are evil. I saw the deal was 88% percent claimed so I clicked a few times and now I'm $72 poorer because I threw a fisher space pen in the cart lol.

Literally a minute later and the deal was gone, and it's back up to $123.

Thanks! And to you as well.

Sometimes I think I'm turning into an old lady on Home Shopping Network, and then I remember, oh yeah, this stuff is worth what we're paying.

Monday I was pretty well set to buy a black Nishijin Cricket and had got my wife to go along with it... but then I saw where I could get a CF Sage 3 for $117 and diplomatically stepped her up to that idea and ordered it instead... then this evening I cautiously mentioned that KnivesShipFree is clearancing out their black Crickets for $69.33 and only had 9 left (she's always sort of liked crickets) so I guessed maybe I'd better order one of those too before they're all gone :rolleyes: :cool: It'll go nicely with my nishi R :D

Oh yeah, the R + Crick will be a great do-it-all combo to carry!



And I guess it's worth mentioning here; someone else brought up in a different thread that osogrande knives site is having 10% off $100 or more all week... the code is right on their site.

Cool shot!! If there was anything big and SE in nishi, for limb lopping, it would truly be an all purpose trio :D
