Closeout Knives

What are closeout knives?

Closeout knives are knives sold at massively discounted prices due to reasons like:

• Discontinued models

• Overstock

• Seasonal knives clearance

These are high-quality knives that retailers offer at lower prices to make way for new inventory.

Are there benefits to shopping for closeout knives?

Absolutely! If you're collecting or just looking for great deals, buying closeout knives is one of the most cost-effective ways to grab high-quality blades from top brands without breaking the bank.

Are closeout knives covered by warranties?

All knives distributed by Northwest Knives are covered by a limited lifetime warranty, whether they're used or new closeouts. This warranty applies to defects in materials and manufacturing but does not cover damage caused by misuse, neglect, or modifications to the knife. 

Are closeout knives new or used?

Closeout knives are usually brand-new, not used or refurbished.

Do closeout knives have limited stock?

Yes, closeout knives are typically the last remaining inventory of discontinued models, so they come in limited quantities.

Can I return a closeout knife?

At Northwest Knives, all closeout and discontinued items are sold as "all sales final." These products are heavily discounted and not covered by our return/exchange policy.

Where are Chaves knives made?

Chaves knives are exclusively designed by American knifemaker Ramon Chaves but crafted to precision in China by Reate Knives, a knife manufacturer that's steadily gaining reputation for the quality of its knives.

What are fixed blade knives?

Fixed blade knives are a type of knife with a blade that extends into the handle without retracting or folding. They're commonly used in outdoor activities like camping, hunting, and survival.

What should I look for when buying a fixed blade knife?

When buying a fixed blade knife, consider:

• Blade material: Go for high-carbon steel for sharpness and edge retention or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

• Handle comfort and grip: Select a handle that's comfortable and secure.

• Blade length and thickness: Choose based on intended use. Go shorter for tasks that require precision and detail (e.g., carving, slicing small items) or thicker for heavy-duty work (e.g., chopping, prying).

• Full tang vs. partial tang: Full-tang knives are more durable.

• Warranty: A limited lifetime warranty shows that the manufacturer stands behind the quality of its knives.

What are fixed blade knives used for?

Fixed blade knives are great for heavy-duty tasks like hunting, camping, and survival—especially useful for skinning game, preparing food, and cutting wood. They're a go-to choice among outdoor enthusiasts for their strength and dependability.

What are the cons of folding knives?

Compared to fixed blade knives, which can be a bit bulky, folding knives are super portable. You can easily slip one into your bag or pocket for everyday use. They're compact, lightweight, and can be stored easily—perfect for everyday carry (EDC).

That said, folding knives also tend to be less durable than fixed blades because of the hinges and moving parts, which can wear out over time. They're also not as suitable for heavy-duty tasks compared to fixed blade knives, which are typically sturdier because of their one-piece construction.

What is the best blade length for a folding knife?

It depends on how you'll use the knife. For EDC, a blade length of 2.5-3.5 inches offers a good balance of functionality and portability—perfect for daily use, like opening packages or light cutting.

If you're using it for outdoor or tactical purposes, longer blades (3.5-4.5 inches) may be preferred for tasks requiring more cutting power, such as slicing through tough materials. Longer blades, however, won't be easy to carry around.

What's the difference between a folding knife and a fixed blade knife?

The main differences are construction and portability.

A fixed blade has a solid, non-folding blade, while a folder has a blade that retracts into the handle. A fixed blade's one-piece construction makes it suitable for heavy-duty tasks like hunting and camping, and because folding knives are compact and easy to carry, they're ideal for EDC.
