The best place to sell a knife
I know that a lot of you are old pros at selling and making knives or least have ideals about the best place to sale and buy them. So my question is what do you think is the best options for places to sale and buy customs knives?

i dont know what the best place is to sell custom knives, i too would like to know. i can tell you that, in my experience, Ebay is NOT a good place to sell custom knives. i have not had any good luck at all. i have used the auction option, and almost every time i do not make money, or break even.
i have bought some nice stuff on ebay, and believe its a buyers market rather than a sellers market.

If it is a collectible or highly sought after knife...A "true" knife show (like a NKCA or Blade show) would be your best bet. Second would be a gun & knife show, but remember a high percentage of the vendors and customers are there for guns and gun related items. Ebay can be hit or miss unless your knife is something special...again highly collectible or sought after....but your always taking a risk when selling on Ebay.

These are very good points. I have tried the whole ebay thing and I agree with the both of you. For the most part your are lucky to break even. I belive that ebay is hurting the knife world because you can find so much on there that it makes it hard to keep the value of good knives. I really wont to go to a knife show, but I find that selling enough to pay for enough material to build that many can be rough.
