Where do you get your NEW knives?

[robpa]

Count up the total knives for sale at AAPK stores and that makes the combined stores a fairly large dealer. I'd say a good 50-60% of my knives come from AAPK stores. Mostly new old stock. Never been disappointed, not once. Bought 2 from e bay in 4 years. Bought several from GEC factory store. And now I am comissioning direct from a custom maker Ive discoverd only 3 miles from my house. Nuthin wrong with supporting the larger dealers like Smokey Mt. etc, but I believe the stores right here oughtta be supported whenever possible.

Mark---Sharpnshinyknives. Plenty from his store, plus, many Mark has bought and shipped from other AAPK stores for me that won't ship to Canada. (AAPK)
Jamie---JamieinWV. (AAPK)
Herb---herbva. (AAPK)
Matt---Sanders Knives (AAPK)
Ali---Eight knives. (AAPK)
Gary---Kennedy Knives. (AAPK)
Brent---Luv Stag. (AAPK)

Various others depending on their shipping to Canada policy, mostly successfully.
Canada Customs---If they'd let me buy-back what they've stolen from me!!!
Anyone I may have overlooked from AAPK should be on here too!

Anyone dealt with detroitengraving.com?

I hadn't heard of them prior to reading that post, so I looked them up. Their Web site looks rather basic. Hopefully it's secure. I have no idea what their dealer status is, but they aren't too far from me. Maybe someday I'll swing by and check them out.

When it comes to the Chi-Coms, 'Ol Xi Jinping* is running the show, so ultimately that is who is pocketing them there hard-earned Loonies you keep throwing his (and the CCP's) way.

(*Note: Xi Jinping is a Chinese politician who has served as the general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), and thus as the paramount leader of China, since 2012)

Well thanks for the current affairs update, Dog, I'll be sure to address any future checks for products directly to 'Ol Xi Jinping", after I blow my nose on them!

M.M. I don't want to accuse you of selling out to the Chi-Coms ... But... I am sending you a big 'ol Chi-com emoji (only because I can't find a normal sized one )

Bought a knife from an AAPK store yesterday but the buyer apparently got sellers remorse instead. Was not new but it was 250.00 dollars. Cancelled my order and said he sold it on another forum. I still have a blown gasket cause this has happened to me before. It was on the first page of knives for sale. Probably had been posted earlier in the day. I will get over it but I don't have to like it.

It would be nice to know who this is so another person doesn't have it happen to them.

Perfect, Dog!
I'm from Canada bud, I'm allowed to sell-out to the Chi-Coms, didn't you know?
I'll have copies printed out of your emoji and attach one to each and every check I send them, although I'd bet it'll go right over their heads. The average Chi-Com is only 3 ft. tall ya know, so that won't be a problem! lol!

I usually buy from Bladehq.com. They usually have some great knives on sale.

That's only happened to me once, Dog, and I can still feel the rage I felt when I got the news, I was PI**ED!
That would definitely be the deciding factor in whether I would do business with that seller ever again, NOT!

Me, too! I've bought a lot of knives on sale from Bladehq, and some higher end ones. I've always been happy.
