Country Knives in Lancaster are good people but their prices are ridiculous. MSRP or above. They have a lot of discontinued knives and special editions. There is a large farmers market called Morningstar in York on rte 30 on the west side of town. Lots of flea market dealers have some good pieces here and there as well as a few dealers in the antique shops inside. Roots is another huge flea market open on Tuesdays, in western Lancaster county. Some knives might show up at the flea market tables. Another spot is the Bass Pro Shops in Harrisburg, not too far from you, or Gander Mountain right in York. Cabelas north of Reading is worth the trip but you'll need a full day up there. Assorted gun shops all over. There's a knife shop called Edgeworks you should check out in Frederick MD, about a half hour south of Gettysburg.
OK, so there prices are high, but they have an astounding level of stock, and they're nice people. (I bought an OK Keystone jack knife - the secondary blade spring is proud at half-stop, and it could use some more fitting, but I liked the way it feels, etc… (Sad when an S&M compares poorly to a Rough Rider at 1/12th the cost…
My father picked up a rather interesting Hubertus picnic knife - I might track down one for myself.

Ebony or rosewood? It's possible I previously coonfingered the knife in question.
(Stellar form factor, disappointing fit and finish-- but a fine knife all the same. Congrats.)

I didn't mean that in a negative way. I bought from them way back when Bob Cargill started Cripple Creek knives. It was a dog leg jack with jigged brown bone and a match nick on D2 blade. The current owner was polishing knives and just a kid. His dad told me that Cargill used to drive a race car for Case Knives.
