Kennedy Knives is as good as they come. He has fine knives at fair prices, and is as honest as can be..

Now I’m all in favor of pulling out all the stops to get a good deal on a knife, but that takes the cake! ::tu:: ::tu::

I have zero complaints about any of the vendors I've purchased from, I really can't recall a negative buying experience. I'm gonna give my props to Sanders Knives though. Been around for ever, always willing to accept a reasonable offer, and great presentation-- description and photo-wise-- of his products. Bravo, Sanders Knives!

I've purchased from Sanders, Ozzie Marie & Sweetpieces - got what I paid for each time and prompt shipping - so I'm satisfied
Couple of differences between Ebay and AAPK - First I don't have to wait for auction and get outbid or pay to much at last second - On ebay the buy it now prices generally set to high ( I understand cause I sell on ebay as well) Here the prices seem to be a little more appropriate -- I buy from both but If I'm looking for something I want to keep I start with AAPK sellers - If looking for bargins still give ebay some business - that's my two cents -- ::shrug::

PS I probably have bought from others here as well just can't remember - anyway I have never had any surprises

That's a good long list! I've purchased from Kootenay Joe, knifeaholic, Orvet, Paladin, Sanders Knives, tongueriver, and TripleF. Have also purchased from Chase, GSPTOPDOG, and Kennedy Knives. 100% satisfaction all around.
