I came across this video, yesterday, and thought it was hilarious until I realized this guy was serious.  

I don't think that I'm buying a collector knife when I buy one from a hardware store or a big box like Lowes.

My very first Seahorse cane from Lowe's and the much touted box went into the trash.

I think that many Ace Hardware stores carry a small stock of CASE knives.  Hardware store up the road, couple towns away, has more than the supposed dealer.

Toby is probably right in saying that folks don't go there to buy knives, but on the rare instance that you really need a working knife I'd like to be able to think I could find one there.

I think part of the problem is that folks don’t go to hardware stores to buy pocket knives anymore.  And the big box stores sell the cheap-o Tacticals and such because they are volume “take it or leave it” retailers.

Got that beat JJ, my local excuse for a hardware store, one that is supposedly a "Case dealer", (Ace franchise), has a grand total of 3 Case knives available over the counter; Yellow Delrin Trapper & Mini Trapper, ($49.99 & $39.99 respectively), & a lone Jigged Redbone Trapper, ($64.99). They have a few Bear & Sons and a few Buck flippers, (not even a 110!!!), & many many, (TOO damn many IMHO), Frost & Rough Riders. It's really a sad sight.

This is certainly true,  John, but sometimes the need for instant gratification outweighs the alternative.

Point I was making, though, is how can a place that only has 9 knives be an authorized dealer?

No Cabela's nearby, Toby, though we've got a Tractor Supply that usually stocks some of the more common patterns.

It's looking like the closest decent CASE dealer is probably 65 miles away.  And my wife wonders why I search for dealers near where we go on vacation.

I buy from four Case dealers all online, unless I go to a Case show at a dealer but that's always out of state. It's always a good time too!

I have a Cabelas with about 50 or so Case  Knives. Nothing special but better than nothing, I suppose. There prices are a tad high.

Of the 4 "Authorized" CASE dealers within 50 miles of me,  one of them had a total of 6 knives.  The CASE display held Yeti cups instead.

CASE really needs to revamp it's dealers list.

Queen Cutlery made folding woodcarving knives for my business.  I need to find a new source so if anyone or any company is interested in providing knives, please contact me ASAP.
