There is a local shop called Epicurean Edge. If you've ever looked into buying any of the SA guys stuff, chances are you landed on their site. They've got me a few times "window shopping".

At this point in my collecting, by in large, thr knives I'm into are things you unfortunately really have to hunt down. Even then, youll more than likely be unsuccessful. Therefore window shopping isn't something that gets me too often these days. Back 15 years ago, BladeHQ among a few others got me all the time.
 
I could be foolish with about any amount of money . . .but I sam not.

For me, e-Bay is a minefield because with PayPal hooked up, just one impulsive click can be expensive.

Right now, I am holding back and prioritizing our 51st anniversary , two birthdays and Christmas on the horizon.

My main interest is large format photography and sheet film is very high.
 
I voted "if a sale..." but really I just have carts open on a dozen sites, including ebay. If I get a few extra bucks, I agonize over a decision and stress about getting just the right one, until I finally flip a coin or something. Now if a grail pops up on the exchange forum all bets are off.
