I'm going to a knife show tomorrow and I'm in the market for a new edc knife because I just lost my Ritter. I've been to a few gun and knife shows before, but I was there for guns, not knives. It's an inconvenient drive so I'm wondering if anyone can educate me on what type of pricing to expect. I know a Benchmade Griptilian is $120 retail, $80 on eBay, and roughly $60 here, likewise with Paramilitary 2 and so on. Am I going to be looking at a bunch of knives I can buy cheaper online or is it relatively competitive? Thanks.

Pretty much you'll be able to find them cheaper online. You may find a few good deals, but in general, expect near msrp.
It's still a great chance to handle a bunch of knives you might not have been ae to handle otherwise though. Nothing wrong with taking a peek, getting a good feel for some knives, and going home to order online.

Hey Ken,
From what i've noticed here in Cali, they tend to be near MSRP but the only thing cool is that you may come across something cool and discontinued. Take some of your stuff that you may want to trade. These guys tend to buy / sell / trade. Good luck, hope you find something interesting.
