Where do you find your vintage knives ??
I'm curious, where do you find your "deals" on vintage knives?? I, personally, have found some of my best finds in pawnshops that don't deal too much in the knife/gun trade and weren't asking full retail for the knife. I have also found some great buys in antique shops who didn't deal a lot in knives. It's not that I'm trying to cheat anyone, but I hate paying maximum value of the knife just to own it (usually).LOL.I have also found some nice, vintage knives in antique stores in their "assortment boxes". That means buying a box full of buttons and other junk for a set price, but if you sift carefully through it before purchasing, there is sometimes a gem of a knife in the bottom of the box I have also found some super deals if you can find an antique shop going out of business. Antbody have any other great ideas ??

True enough, Robert, but consider this. Just like JJ WIlliams post, new " vintage knives" are hitting the market every day. His grandfather's collection alone puts 5000+ knives back in the marketplace. Vintage and collectible knives tend to increase in value as time progresses.Look around the IKC membership roles, most of us have those grey beards !! Although it would probably take a crowbar to pry a knife from my cold dead hands or other members like my friend Tobias Gibson, they, will someday probably appear in the market, more valuable than they are now!! Hopefully.later than sooner !!
