In fact, I did. And the only thing that you imply Scrap Yard does that is unfair is when you accuse Scrap Yard of giving advantage to those who buy in large batches:

Promoting a large and loyal customer base is just as important, if not more important, than dumping your products to the guy with the fattest wallet.
My response is simply that you are attacking the wrong culprit. If you don't want people to buy 20 knives and to give you a fair chance, how about asking the people who are buying that many knives? They are the ones doing it.
The plan that several of you have proposed may certainly help things, but if Scrap Yard does this they are going above and beyond IMO as it's not their problem to correct.

The problem isn't really a matter of resellers versus individual consumers. It's a matter of developing a sales strategy and a pricing structure that supports both. That's called "managing the market".
I'm going to echo Porkerson on this point. If these knives were priced higher (probably double), that would solve everyone's problem. Supply and demand would balance out then.
