i'm not usually vocal but i've been around the block a few times and have been screwed out of many a knife simply because i cannot afford or do not WANT to afford the secondary market prices. and the blame goes to everyone as far as i'm concerned. the system has to be fair and the people have to be fair. is that too much to ask? maybe the knife community isn't as "good" as i once thought. seems like money really DOES turn a good man into a demon...
