Where is the Best Place to get a Knife Deal

So many places to get a deal on a knife. You have the internet so of course you can go to eBay or you can go to your local walmart or hardware dealer. You can even get deals on knives at the flea market. You can even get deals from knife shows on t.v.or even better yet you can get a custom knife made for you the way you want it. Right here on iKC where some of the best knife makers in the world. I like custom knifes and the factory ones. When I buy I like to put in my hand, see what they feel like and check how straight the blades are and how much walk and talk. So I think just like my father and his father before him. I still like going to the local hardware store where you can check your knife out right away,and the feel you get when you get it home and can show everyone your new buy.What do you guys think? Where would you go to get your knife deal?......

Finding that perfect knife if no one in your area carries the ones you want to see and hold is a tough situation. Something that worked for me was going to a few shows, handeling the different patterns. That way I could decide what patterns fit in my hand best and then I could choose my handles based on the fit. One of the features of Case is that they will make the same pattern in MANY different handles. Wish you were closer, I'd love to have let you handle some of the knives that seem to fit better for my smaller womens hands.

Comment by Peggy Lu on October 14, 2011 at 20:35: I don't think anything compares to being able to pick up the knife you want & hold it in your hand ... but here in OK most dealers I've found nearby are online only ... they only set up at gun shows & adding the cost of admission drives up the cost of any knife I might buy. And the ranch stores out here definitely cater to big ol' boys with big hands who like John Deere green, yellow derlin or brown ... not my size & definitely not my colors. I wasn't thinking about getting a good deal on our road trip to Shepherd Hills, I just wanted a knife that didn't look like it was made for a man but after getting home and seeing what they were selling for on ebay ... I decided I either did real good or the price of Case knives on ebay was real inflated.

Comment by Jan Carter on October 14, 2011 at 18:22: Craig, Good work on getting some of those peice you needed and for a great price

Hog, Wow... the auctions...had not thought of that

Stephen, I usually stick with dealers I have met through the internet but call and order. I like talking to my dealers

Featured Comment by Craig Henry on October 14, 2011 at 16:55: I've found my best "deals" on the internet. NOT ebay! Or as a lot of people I know say; evilbay. In the past myself and several family members have had nothing but trouble with ebay and paypal. I won't go into the problems, it'll take a book! One knife dealer I do busines with had a sale for a month and some knives I was needing were on sale for.......get this.....brand new in the box........$4.73!!!!!
