anywhere to handle a small seb in VA

[Murnax]

Hey all. All you guys spouting the greatness of the sebenza all over the forums has peaked my interest. However I'd prefer not to have to buy one just to see if its for me due to the high cost. Does anyone know a place in either Northern VA or Blacksburg, VA area where I could handle a small seb?

Chesapeake Knife & Tool in the Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbridge, VA sometimes has small sebbies. I've seen a few there myself over the last year. Wouldn't hurt to call first, though.

Wow, really? I go in there a lot, but have never seen any sebs. I'll keep an eye out, though. Thanks. I shudder to think what one would cost if purchased from Chesapeake though, lol.

Wasn't much more than what I've seen in other shops. I think they mark-up the low end stuff more than they do the higher-end knives. At least, that's been my experience.

The Chesapeake in Richmond marks them up way over retail. They have had a regular 2001 Umfann since 2001. Price is $535!!
It is a good place to handle most of the new production knives though.
