As a DMO, does it have its box? Nicks and scratches? Thanks!

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on February 17, 2021

The Open Box, Dealer Demo is just that. An open box item that should include everything you would typically get, but it may have been used as a display item or something of that nature. If the item was damaged that impaired use or functionality, it would not be something that would be sold.

That would entirely depend on your state, and/or local laws allowing purchase and use of Auto/OTF knives.

Q
Trebor, member, from FL, United States, asked on August 12, 2020

Since automatic knives are legal to purchase and own in Florida, and carry with a CCW), why won't you sell them to your customers who live there?

A
Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on February 17, 2021
