[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8457036, member: 93670"] Your shopping for those 75 cent knives like a consumer not a bulk consumer not a bulk purchaser. Steak knives, [URL='https://www.amazon.com/Seratted-Edge-Pointed-Tip-Stainless-Plastic-Restaurants/dp/B07F89ZL2R/ref=asc_df_B07F88N4SQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309752512776&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1827867259616351692&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012032&hvtargid=pla-567231386540&th=1'].66$/pop[/URL] @144, dinner knife [URL='https://www.katom.com/080-000208.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhMOMBhDhARIsAPVml-FCFgDgnOovzpOOOSoQPYHWJW2fr1sATOf6VhE1Zr53aK4w9g2WQUoaAsJ8EALw_wcB'].32$/pop @1dozen[/URL].

These gigantic orders are so cheap because the maker can pretty much load them right up from the assembly line onto truck(s) without needing to store them or anything. They could probably churn out billions of those even cheaper all year round if there was unlimited demand, but instead they run a few thousand of one style then switch things to a different style & repeat before selling the gigantic assortment to resellers. The "soldiers" in that army still have a knife on round two but that knife deals 1d2 instead of 1d4 but a whole lot more of them are alive because the warlord was able to fit them for boots two daggers & poor quality cloth brigandine all under budget so they could get a few days of training... Maybe the warlord even bought the cheap daggers explicitly to use for training rather than wasting good coin on a bunch of rejects that might die if they stub their toe during training [/QUOTE]
