Just wondering what you guys think are the best online vendor of knives and accessories and at the best prices

I would like a site that carries everything from pocket to chef knives

Thanks

Any specialist knives shop knowing what they sell, I would avoid general stores selling knives next to rugs and music and go for a specialist that knows the market, steel types and brands.

But it is impossible to give any store name unless you say for what country.
 
KnivesShipFree is fantastic to deal with. Honestly, though, there are so many excellent online knife shops - just do a little research if unsure about one.

I've never had any problems or complaints about Knifecenter or BladeHQ.

Had a lot of good experience with Red's Gear via Amazon but I've never actually ordered from them directly.
 
I recently ordered from Cutlery Shoppe for the first time, and it was an excellent experience. One of my items was backordered, so I emailed them to find out whether they would ship separately or hold the whole order until the backordered item came in. They got back to me quickly, and shipped my partial order right away. It was only a few days until the backorder was filled and that shipped too. Both times, I got a couple Tootsie Pops in the box. They're my new favorite place. :D
 
+1 for Newgraham. I always check there first. If they have what I want, I order it. If not, I check Knifecenter, etc. Even if NGK is more expensive, I buy from them. They've earned my loyalty.
 
The dealers with the largest and most varied selections that I've had good luck with, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, Knifeworks, Grand Prairie (GP), New Graham...
Check out AG Russell too - not the largest selection, but his own brand products are excellent and are often bargains.

For more niche-market shopping there's Sooner State, Collector Knives, Deadwood Knives, Old Hundred Collectibles, Ragweed Forge...

I recommend all of these based on personal experience. :thumbup:
 
Personally, I like KnivesShipFree.

I also know and trust Jason at DLTtrading, Roger at Knifeworks and Jeff at CutleryShoppe.

I don't know them, but I recommend Blade HQ.

I might add, there is a lot more to choosing a dealer than price. The ones I listed here are all competitive on price, but more importantly, they are trustworthy and know their stuff. AND they are just good people and good companies.
 
My favorites are, in no particular order, Knives Ship Free, Howe's Knife Shop, KershawGuy, Knifeworks, BladeHQ, KnifeArt, True North Knives, and New Graham. All of them have provided exemplary service to me on a regular basis. I know that's a large list but I buy a lot of knives :D
 
In this order, I have two that I purchase from the most, KnivesShipFree (KSF) and BladeHQ. For sheer speed of turnaround, KSF is the hands down winner for me.
Their online stock status is a great feature, as are the excellent photos of their products. My last online order with KSF was placed on a Sunday afternoon, and was packaged
and ready for USPS pickup that night :thumbup:

A distant third is KnifeCenter. Last place for me is Knifeworks, IMO they cannot compare to the other three given my experiences.
Keep in mind YMMV, everyone has different expectations and therefore different results.
