    Flea market treasures can be some of the best. Every now and then you can luck into a really good, gently used knife that just needs a good cleanup. Some of the knife sellers are very knowledgeable, however, most don’t really don’t care about the knife cause they’re just looking to make a few bucks. Not every used knife is a candidate for a rescue mission, but there are some that are worth saving. You are truly The Knife Doctor. We always appreciate it when you take us along junking. God bless y’all and enjoy every day. - Tennessee Smoky

    Those Flea Market finds are always a joy to find. Most of the people like to stay up front in the newer sections. I like to go digging way in the back of the places. That's where you find the diamonds in the rough at! If can do a little cleaning and fixing. That's the ticket guys!😊

    The Swiss knives you can just send back for warranty. The table where you picked up the Gerber Easyout had a nice little Dozier folder right up against the side closest to you. You should have checked that out Kabar used to make those light weight folders pretty inexpensive. That model and Benchmade's Bugout share a lot in common.

    The local flea markets around my area are great but the prices are outrageous plus you see people on their phones with Ebay looking up prices showing how much their worth and then get all mad when you try to get them to come down a little. One guy had some stuff we were really interested in but he wouldn't budge off the price and then got mad caused we asked if he would take 5 dollars less. He said I ain't giving it away and I see why people wasn't even stopping by his tables. Anyways I'm a new to the channel just found it and subbed. Keep up the great videos!

    Even though prices are high, some of these guys are still asking too much!
    $5 form on that rusted up:busted handle Old Hickory was a rip off! I would of offered $1
    Stubborn old dudes just trying to rip people off for an extra nickel! 🙄
    Also that guy selling the Zippos was definitely high on something with those prices, completely absurd! He was trying to rip you off!
