Are these knives available locally in most places or only in knife stores?

These knives are readily available from most quality knife dealers, but would not be found at your local hardware store. We're getting these knives at (or slightly below) dealer prices, right from the factory.

Approximate prices for us are $60 for the Camillus BK2 or Gerber LMF II, $80 for the Camillus BK3. The Camillus 904S is about $15, while the Rescue is $36. If you check even the best online prices, you'll find that these are really great deals on quality items.

With Gerber, we also get discount prices on multi-tools and flashlights. Camillus has given us super great deals on discontinued models, and first crack at brand-new items that hadn't even been announced yet. We were giving away the new Rescue before dealers even had pictures.

NEWS FLASH! Hobbit Hole knife project has surpassed 1,000 knives shipped to date!

Ping for a very successful FReeper troop support project. Though we are on hold from accepting new requests for knives till we catch up with the backlog, we are still ordering knives, and still accepting all the help we can get.

AM - can we have a jazzy new Headline? "Help us support our troops! [Knives for Soldiers] 1,000 shipped to date and counting!" or something like that?
