I understand Mike hasn't been taking any orders since the past year. I like his knives, especially the tactical folders. So how does one ever buy his knives? Are they only available from knifeshows? Or special arrangements through dealers? (I mean, Mike has to sell them to someone, right?) If so, which dealers?

Anor important question is, are the knives priced as shown on his website? Or is there a huge mark-up by the dealers because of the difficulty in obtaining them?
 
Both Triple Aught Design and Bladeart occasionally have Snody stuff. What seems to happen is that Mr. Snody provides dealers with a batch of knives of a particular design, most of them are sold to buyers who pre-order them, and every once in a while one or two knives actually get advertised on the dealer's site, and even these disappear almost immediately. If you are serious about getting a particular Snody you probably need to pick it up on the used market or talk to dealers, find out which dealer is going to get a batch of knives, then put in a pre-order and wait. The few Snodys I've seen advertised by dealers did not seem to be outrageously priced - in fact, a big part of Snody's appeal is that his knives are very reasonably priced.
 
Mike's job has him in Washington DC for quite a while, and his shop is in Texas, so we wont be seeing any Snody knives in the near future.
