Though Roger, at Bayou LaFourche doesn't have the widest selection on the web, few beat him for price, and nobody for service.
Also, forumite "shootist16", Dennis Bible is now selling knives. He offers good, sometimes great prices, and excellent service.
SMKW has closeout prices occasionally that nobody else can touch. They're up to date on whether or not they have something in stock, and provide excellent and speedy service, even if all you're buying is a couple $10 knives. They have a fairly wide selection.
For sheer breadth of stock, Knife Center and 1SKS are perhaps the best, tho an outfit called NDSProducts has brands few others do. A great site is Cutlery to go, with lots of European brands from which to choose.
Discount knives can be the cheapest, and seem good, so long as everything goes well. If problems erupt, it usually means a diss in the G,B,&U.
I'll check out the place(s) you mentioned.
Well, went and checked out Best Knives site. Looked at Spyderco and CRKT, the two brands whose prices are the most familiar to me. Got kind of excited on Spyderco, because they list an extremely large # of models. But, then when I checked a couple discontinued models I want, learned that they aren't actually selling them. Interesting practice. Helpful if you just want to know what they looked like, but frustrating when you're doing a Eureka and high fiving the dog.
Their prices aren't bad, but most are in the $2-5 higher range than what I'm used to. Forgot to say, that 1SKS asks the opportunity to match any other dealer's price. The worst they can do is say no.
Totally forgot to say, welcome to the forums. Hope you enjoy your stay here!
