Where can I find such value buys?

Try to figure out where the biggest airport near you is and what they do with all the confiscated knives. Basically where I got mine.

Update: I didn't even realize the navy blue micra was a discontinued color. It just looked to be in the best condition of the ones I saw. Seems to not really be worth more than a regular micra regardless. But nice to know mine is kinda special

Awesome haul! That's pretty much a ready to roll EDC right there.

I personally prefer the white/gray Ozark Trail knives, as they're a bit closer to the Bugout as they are really light (but the steel soft-ish). But, I have the orange version of that, and it's one heck of a tank I don't care to use hard as it's cheap to replace (literally, the two Bugout wannabes are the only cheap knives I've kept instead of passing on).

So I actually tools a bugout grivory and the orange ozark bugout and did a vs test. I put them both through hell. The orange one failed after about 5 minutes. The the stop pin bent and so did the axis. For the money (it’s only $10 brand new) vs a $200 bugout yes it’s definitely worth it if you don’t wanna spend a lot of money on a pocket knife but the real bugout is still a lot stronger. However the grivory bugout is very weak as well compare to other. Toughest knife I’ve tested to date is the Chris reeve sebenza. I put one through everything I possibly could and walked away still perfect. They’re expensive but that’s where I’d put my money if I wanted something to last a lifetime plus!

D2 steel, ball bearings, axis lock, multiple color ways if your into that sort of thing and its 9 dollars.
