Here on the forum you can post in the wanted section or under repair and restoration and the swap forum. I've kept my eye out on ebay for years for junk knives and hit yard sales for broken or worn knives. Finding a single source would be nice, but so far I haven't found such an animal. Good luck and as a rule, if the folks here can help, they will. Having some trading material usually helps.

Bob pretty well said it all.
I buy knives for repair parts, and I buy new & used blades on ebay when I can find them.
New blades are hard to find though.

I don't know your personal situation, but another source of
all parts is a rep for Blue Ridge Knives. If you dig around, there probably is a rep in your area.
They have pages of all blades in every shape and size, for folders and fixed blades, handles and some pins. Even damascus.
Even if the blade is not a perfect fit, you can hand-fit the parts with common hand tools.
Edit: If you like to build kits and do a bit of refinishing, David at Mikov also sells kits at some attractive prices.
