In the past I've usually bought knives brand new from retail. Why, I'm no longer sure, because the knives I find most beautiful to look at have always been antiques. I am finally collecting the coolest vintage knives I can find, but they are rare! Literally 99% of the pictures on the web are of modern knives in carefully carried or mint condition, or a purpose bought modern beater with a scratched up coating that they bought last week and took batoning in their back yard. Most the the vintage knives I see are in minty condition, or if they're nicely scratched up they're often "highly uninspiring" lol! Please show me a picture of your old, worn, scratched up, patina'd, vintage, antique, beautiful knife!
