Title is pretty explanatory. I'm curious to know where all of you snag your blades from. Do you go into a store and buy in person, or just an online guy/gal? Myself, I've got a few places I…Continue

Comment by Shlomo ben Maved on April 17, 2010 at 17:51: There is also Skalja Knives in what I would call a semi custom folder maker as they sell their knives to various dealers -- like AG Russell for resale...I've handled them, lovely things, but haven't gotten one and don't think I would in future either as I'm not into that style of folder too much...

There is a YYZ company called Canada Knives that has some quite nice designs but I don't know anything about them, where/how they are made but they have a fair number of their own label/brand on their site...Their machete/kukhri blades have some interesting variations...

I have every version of Grohmann’s D.H. Russell Belt Knives -- original and flat blade in both Rosewood and Stag, if available and a 7pc set of their better quality kitchen knives with block...

Comment by Arjun Gandhi on April 17, 2010 at 16:51: Hey Andrew,

Actually I just ordered one from the clearance section for about 36 bucks. It's not the classic designs, but those are on the 'to buy' list over the summer (yay paid internships). I was going to get carbon steel for those. As for edge retention the one I ordered was stated to be tempered softer and it's in stainless. I guess it won't hold the best edge, but should be easy as hell to sharpen.

It's the first knife.

Comment by Arjun Gandhi on April 15, 2010 at 18:37: Does anyone know of any Canadian branded knives (not customs)? The only good one I'm familiar with is Grohmann.
