Buy Knives with Knives

The Lone Star Trade In Program

Got American made knives sitting in a drawer? We built a program for that. Watch video here: Instagram 

Most trade in programs work against you. The store has to lowball the offer because they're taking on the risk of buying something they might not be able to resell for what they paid. We didn't think that was fair, so we did it differently.

The Lone Star Trade In Program runs differently. Instead of buying your knife outright and padding the offer to cover our risk, you get the vast majority of what it actually sells for. No risk on our end means no shrinking the number on yours.

A few things to know up front:

  • Exclusively available to Patreon members, free or paid
  • Knives have to be American made. That's the whole point of Lone Star Knife & Supply 
  • Approved trade ins get listed for sale in The Back Door

That's the short version. How to submit a knife, what to expect along the way, and the full FAQ all live in the Patreon post.
