SPENCER: Hey.
What's going on, my man?
Rick here?
Thanks God, no.
He's actually out getting a quote to repair that golf
sign he got in Chattanooga.
Cool.
All right.
Well, maybe you can help me with this--
a Filipino bolo knife from the Insurrection War.
All right.
Definitely has some weight to it.
You're probably chopping up some coconuts with this thing.
[LAUGHS]
SPENCER: Today, I brought in a Filipino
Insurrection bolo knife.
I got this from a connection of mine who got it from an estate
sale in Virginia.
This knife is really unique because souvenirs
from the Philippine Insurrection are very scarce to find.
And I think I can get $1,000.
CHUMLEE: Normally I'd call Rick, but he really doesn't
want me bugging him right now.
It's pretty cool.
I don't know too much about it.
And what's really cool about this
is it's got an original label here,
by whoever captured it, stating where this was found
and who it was given to.
CHUMLEE: "My Insurgent War Bolo taken at the Battle
of Balantang, Philippine Islands November 21, 1899
by the 26th Infantry."
That's pretty cool.
What are you looking to do with it?
You know, I usually bring stuff in here for Rick.
And he's not here.
But I figured $1,000, man.
I mean, something like this that's hard to price--
and you can't find-- there's no comparables out there.
CHUMLEE: First off, I don't know too much about it.
Normally I call someone.
But I'm guessing it's probably worth somewhere in maybe,
like, the $500 range.
Yeah.
A little more than $500, man.
$850.
$500.
That's the most I'm gonna give you.
$700.
See, now I'm getting--
see, I've come off so much.
And you're just not bringing it up enough.
That's, you know, still gonna be a lot.
My wall-- $600.
That's it.
And I'm walking.
Last call.
You don't want to see it somewhere else
and get Rick all mad.
All right.
I'll give you $600 for it.
SPENCER: All right, man.
You're tough.
You're tough, man.
No, you're tough.
I'm gonna get fired for this.
I just bought something for what it's probably worth.
[LAUGHS] No, man.
I think you guys are gonna do great with this.
- All right. - All right, man.
I'll see you up front.
In the end, $600 is great.
This knife is really unique.
I don't know what the true value will be.
I'm sure these guys will figure it out and do good with it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
COREY: What are you doing?
Wrapping up an item for customers
who are gonna take it home with them.
OK.
Chum, that stuff costs money.
Stop. Stop.
It's wrapped.
It's a piece of art.
COREY: It's wrapped.
Wait.
What's this?
A Philippine war knife.
COREY: Where'd you buy this?
CHUMLEE: I bought it from Spencer, your dad's buddy.
What'd you pay for it?
$600.
COREY: Chum, this is worth, like, maybe $200.
$200 plus about $800.
That thing's easily worth $1,000, if not more.
COREY: I know it's not worth that.
CHUMLEE: I'll bet you.
Bet me what, Chum, that I'm right?
I know I'm right.
CHUMLEE: I bet you it's worth $600 or more.
And if I'm right, you're walking Pinky in a tutu.
Cool.
And if I'm right, you're cutting your ponytail
off with this thing.
CHUMLEE: I'd never cut my ponytail off.
But I'll accept that bet because I know I'm right.
If you want to make the bet, make the bet.
But I'm telling you it's a bad idea.
So you're willing to bet your hair?
CHUMLEE: Yeah.
There's no way I'm wrong.
I'll happily bet my ponytail.
Chum, you're gonna be losing your hair, man.
Hope they got a tutu in his size.
RICK: [LAUGHS]
CHUMLEE: Alex, I'm glad you're here.
What's up?
CHUMLEE: Check out this score I've got--
Philippine war knife.
ALEX: They call this a barang.
Yes, they do.
COREY: Me and Chum have a bet.
What's it worth?
RICK: What's the bet on?
CHUMLEE: I bought that from your buddy Spencer.
He came in.
And you weren't around.
Yeah.
And Chum paid $600 for it.
CHUMLEE: He thought I overpaid.
It's worth about $300, right?
ALEX: Well, these are actually really popular with collectors.
But what's really cool is this little label here.
The 26th Infantry Regiment-- that's
when it was formed in the Philippines
for the Philippine Insurrection.
So this is a legendary Infantry Regiment-- a regiment
that's still in service today.
These guys were in-- in the beginning of World War I,
they were some of the first troops in France.
Same thing with World War II.
They're at the Battle of the Kasserine Pass.
And this early date, 1899--
I mean, this could have been one of their first battles ever.
That totally affects the value.
If this were just a barang in this,
it's, you know, $500 knife, maybe.
But with this, and tied to the 26th Infantry Regiment,
I think it's, like--
you'd probably get $1,000 for it.
Boom!
God damn it!
RICK: All right.
So what did you guys bet or whatever?
Corey has to walk Pinky in a tutu.
[LAUGHS]
COREY: Come on.
Let's get this over with.
[SIGHS]
OK.
CHUMLEE: Oh, that's a walk right there!
Wait.
Turn around.
Let me get a picture of you guys!
Corey, I really think you should get a small dog.
What do you think, Rick?
[LAUGHS]
COREY: I'm done now.
You know what, Corey?
Pinky's not enjoying this walk.
It's cool if you finish up now.
Just take her back inside.
I can't believe you got him to wear that.
He lost a bet.
You know how he is with those bets.
I will never forgive you for this, Chum.
RICK: [LAUGHS]
CHUMLEE: He offered me $1,000 to get out of it.
The pictures are worth more than $1,000.
Yeah.
[LAUGHS]
