Los Angeles area blade shops to visit?

[Bubblinwaters]

I'm driving down to LA from SF in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone could suggest a few blade shops in the LA area that I should visit. Yes, I am aware of Plaza Cutlery but unfortunately they will be closed for remodeling during my visit. I'm on a Spyderco kick lately so if there is a shop that has a huge variety, please let me know. Do any of these places sell well below MSRP or should I expect the usual "ripoff for instant gratification" situation? Lastly, I have an Emerson Traveler that needs warranty service. Does anyone know if Emerson allows for a local dropoff at their factory? Yea, I know I need to call them and ask but I was just curious. Thanks!
