Mostly go to gun shows to find them - there is a great one I just found last year - was about to go to my second one right when COVID hit - it was canceled 2 days before it was supposed to open. It is in eastern Pennsylvania - if that is close to you let me know and I'll find the name of it.

Gun shows, antique shows, and western theme venues are great for knives. Here in Eastern Washington is a traveling antique show called Custer's. It comes to Spokane, Tri-Cities and Yakima, maybe Wenatchee. In Spokane they always have a great variety, including knives. I don't collect knives, but I have always enjoyed the antler handles.

I made my own knife 2-3 years ago. If you haven't done that, it's great. I highly recommend it. It was a cool experience.
