I have an old Pexto that I was lucky enough to pick up, and it is not only in great condition but I can vouch for the quality of them from it. I also got it from a Flea Market Vendor. A Knife Dealer (and other old things) that I've known for awhile and he gave me a nice discount. As I recall his original price was $45.00 It sure is a nice one and a pleasure to use. To be honest, I hadn't even noticed it was a Pexto untill I was using it yesterday, I just saw that it was a good one.
