Collection: The Back Door

Welcome to The Back Door. This is where you can find some of the best deals in the knife community.

The Back Door

You will find:

  • Trade Ins
  • Returns
  • Blems
  • And other things that just don't quite fit in the broader store

At Lone Star Knife & Supply we believe you should be able to buy knives with knives. That is why we set up the Lone Star Trade In Program for our Patreon members. All the trade ins here come from them.

A member sends in an American made knife they are done with, we research comps and agree on a price together, and it goes up in The Back Door. When it sells, they get store credit to put toward something they would rather be carrying. Free and paid Patreon tiers are both welcome.

The returns and blems are ours. A blem is usually a cosmetic thing, packaging damage, or a knife that is simply not photo perfect enough to sell as new. For example, you might see a Spyderco PM2 in CruCarta where oil from the pivot darkened the micarta a little. Nothing wrong with the knife, it just does not look factory fresh anymore.

Every knife in The Back Door is fully disclosed, described plainly, and priced to match. What lands here depends on what members send in and what comes back, so inventory is limited and hard to predict. When you see something you want, it is usually the only one.
