What website do you buy your knives from?

[AntiqueBlades]

I have been looking at Budk.com but people say there are better..I need a trustable website that has brought you satisfaction several times. Including quality knives and good prices.





Sincerely,
AntiqueBlades

Check out the forum section called, "The Good The Bad and The Ugly." You'll find hundreds of dealer reviews and recommendations. In fact a moderator will likely move this topic there soon.

Personally, I shop at many different online stores including the following:
Knifeworks
AG Russell
Ragweed Forge
CollectorKnives.net
Cumberland Knife Works
Old Hundred Collectibles
Deadwood Collectible Knives
New Graham

And at least a dozen others. Happy shopping!

Or just do what I do:
1. Google the knife you're planning on buying.
2. Find the lowest prices. (Make sure to factor in shipping.)
3. Use Google to research the aforementioned sites.
5. Buy the knife from the site that has the lowest price and good feedback.

ETA: I was beat to it.

I've bought from the following stores:
BladeHQ
GPKnives
KnivesShipFree
CollectorKnives
New Graham
Knifeworks
Kershawguy
All the vendors I've noted above have been really good to deal with and I would not hesitate doing business with them. I'm currently looking around the A.G. Russell site in search of a new folder, the Acies 2 looks very nice.

I go with Blade HQ and GP knives a lot, but also use a couple I don't think I can mention on here. I think Budk sells proprietary knives - their own knives only. And quite frankly, they suck. They're the kinds you give to people that you think are gonna break your knife, in my opinion

I think Budk sells proprietary knives - their own knives only.

No, they sell Buck, KaBar, Becker, Kershaw, etc. But the prices are sky-high.

I usually find the best prices at gpknives, and also use monkey edge ... Scratch that on KE.. Wasnt aware they were scams.. I apologize if anyone went there

 

[BigBill5953]

I go with GPKnives a good bit if Im buying new but the Exchange is always a good place too.

I usually find the best prices at gpknives, and also use monkey edge quite often... I havent yet but would like to order some things from knives emporium. I appreciate companys that give back to the community and i think theyve given out two hinderers, multiple zt's etc

Nope, the emporium "giveaways" have been proven to be scams. Their auction site is also suspicious. There was a colubris on there at a great price that i had to sign up for to bid on, and an hour before the auction was supposed to end, it was pulled... But now they have my info... Bs

I recommend Knifeology and Fort Henry for custom knives.

 

[Lobo13]

And the exchange

 

[sticktodrum]

Kershaw Guy is amazing, one of the best people you could ever hope to deal with.

House of Blades is also fantastic, just smooth sailing with Matt over there.

Blade HQ is of course very good as well.
