Buy one fixed blade at the discounted price and choose one* of equal or lesser value (per the discounted price), to add to your package for FREE.
If there aren't any blades to choose from (look inside each rectangle for your available choices), you may have the single blade at 1/2 the original price.
* Limited to the blades available at the time of your request or purchase (you can ask to put the "for purchase" and "free" blades on hold). Buyer pays shipping for both blades. USPS Flat Rate boxes = no surprises. We can let you know which size box your blades will fit in, so that you can choose appropriately.

What to know about the CS "China Doll" Recon Scout (typically found in collectors circles):
Collectors commonly call these "China Dolls"; they are fairly rare.
In 2007, Cold Steel set up a short-lived, transitional China production run, which represents a manufacturing transition point in Cold Steel history.
This short-lived SK5 import series created good quality blades made with steel which was imported from Japan. Performance depended on heat treatment in the Chinese factory. They were marked "Made in China" to be in compliance with legal requirements.
It is well known that China cloned Cold Steel blades (mainly the Trail Master's at that time); the cloned versions were marked "Made in the USA".
The guard is steel (not brass or stainless, as was found in the earlier versions).
Though there were not universal quality control issues, manufacturing was eventually moved to Taiwan, citing QC as a reason.
Our valuation is fair for the normal market. But, it is noted that collectors can pay higher prices on occasion, reaching $275 to $325.

(On cursory weight and measurements, these two swords seem to be approximately $45 to mail together to the Alaska zip code {which we felt was probably going to be the most expensive}. If you want these, we'll take them to the post office to get exact pricing, and if it is less than that, you will, of course, pay the lesser amount.)
