    Anything in particular? I'd personally order from knifecenter.com or amazon once you make a decision.

    Thanks for the info all.
    I like the Yojimbo 2, manix 2, battlestation, and a few others(dozens). Any info on A&D, they always treat people with respect and wouldn't mind given them my business and they do have the Manix2 in stock. They look like high quality and if they are knockoffs they are incredible but I have never actually held a Spyderco to compare.

    Go to bladeforums link, then read the second sticky. The sticky will teach you about the fakes.

    Edgeworks in downtown Frederick sells them. I like A&D, just a long ride for me. I buy most of mine online from Cutlery Shoppe, http://www.cutleryshoppe.com/.

    Nice ones to start with are Para Military 2, Native 5, Native, Endura, Delica, and Dragonfly. I prefer leaf blades with the forward finger notch.

    Sean runs a fine shop and while I live close by, I'd readily drive to have the Oppty to hold. Knife in hand prior to purchasing.

    Make a day trip out of it, stop by Lou's in Mt a Airy, go to Edgeworks and then home past engage...

    You can also call a friend of mine, Bob Appleby, who owns the Classic Edge in Midlothian, VA. In addition to being the owner Bob is a lifelong knife collector and knows pretty much everything there is to know about knives. I don't know if they are open today but he is usually there.

    Yep, tell him Jason said hi, he'll get a chuckle. Great guy and great shop. He's in an industrial park that comes up right after the storage place on Midlothian Parkway. Huge selection. Has just about every sku in stock from all the major manufacturers, and is more than happy to spend time with customers going over the knives with them too.
