I bought my knives from wholesalers except for two that I bought from dealers, The SOG Flash II and the HK Turmoil. Beside the two all my knives are from United Cutlery with names like Mtech, Tac-Force and Master USA. I like the full tang fixed blades the best but the folders are quite decent especially the Colt (Frost Cutlery?) with a D2 blade for $15.
