What Does 'Closeout' Mean on Knives Now?.

Short answer

Closeout means new, unused stock at a reduced price because the line is being discontinued, a colorway is ending, or we over-bought. It does not mean seconds, returns, refurbished or damaged. When a closeout sells out, it generally does not return.

What it is not

Not used. Not refurbished. Not customer returns. Not factory seconds. Every closeout item is the same new, boxed product it would be at full price, and it carries whatever manufacturer warranty the maker provides.

See are our products new or used and do we sell used or refurbished.

Why the price is lower

Because we would rather move discontinued stock than hold it. A line ends, a color is replaced, or a purchase ran ahead of demand. None of those things change what is in the box.

The catch is availability, not quality. Closeout stock is finite and we usually cannot reorder it.

What is in the category right now

As of this build the category holds 315 live products, which is 22% of everything we list, across 7 brands (Buck, Böker Magnum, Böker Plus, CIVIVI, Gerber, Hogue, Kershaw), priced from $0.75 to $284.99. The most expensive pieces in it today are Böker Plus LFL07 Linerlock, Gerber Fastball Linerlock Bronze, Gerber Fastball Linerlock Blue.

These numbers are recounted every time the site is rebuilt, so they track the live catalog rather than a figure typed in once.
