For many months now, the local flea market has been my go to spot every Sunday morning. I collect all sorts of do-dads, and been scoring on something almost every Sunday. Whether it be a pair of antique MOP French opera glasses, miniature fine pewter cars from England, or this past weekend's find of this German made knife, (which I paid $15 for), the deals have been phenomenal!
Yup, hard to pay the costs for new products, when such awesome old school gems can be had for such bargain bin prices!

Certainly the internet is the easiest place to find them. But in my opinion, the most fun way to find knives is at the knife shows around the country, where you can look through 10,000+ knives in 1 afternoon, and hold every one if you wanted to. You meet a lot of interesting folks, and you see things you never knew existed.

Knife Shows aren't well publicized, which is a shame. But if you can find one within a 2-3 hour drive, it is worth the time. I'm not sure where you live, but Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia are all full of shows throughout the year.

10,000 + knives in a single place for sale would be BAD news for me. I don't need that kind of temptation. I find enough that I didn't know I needed off of the 'bay' and knife selling sites online already.
