finder, I'm glad you understand that deal-spotting is a problem, but if someone asks about a specific item, it is OK to discuss it, even to the point of providing a link to a good source.
We're only strict about people popping up and announcing their favorite website has a GREAT DEAL on a FANTASTIC KNIFE and turning us into a community bulletin board for free advertising.
Bladeforums is so large that we would make a tempting target for otherwise unsolciited deals.
