National for sure. They are great.
White mountain I think started on eBay but they have a site too. They all good.
The first one is new to me.

The Knife Connection are some of my favorite people to order from. Great service. I shop there a lot for GEC's and fixed blades, especially LT Wright's as they get special ones. Don't worry about ordering from them, they're good. One of the few dealers that put inventory counts on their products. I've bought a spydie or two from them as well.

I'm surprised so many have never heard of Knife Connection. I suppose they are more popular amongst the fixed blade crowd.

The Knife Connection is a fantastic place to work with, and I’d have a hard time believing they didn’t have legit stuff. They have a “knife builder” tool in which they work directly with Esee and Ontario, so I doubt they’d have such a close relationship with one American company and none at all with another.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I heard about them through a fixed blade forum, but rarely, if ever hear about them anywhere else. It's too bad, they're awesome to buy from.

I can vouch for Whitemountainknives. Justin is top notch! I buy like 9 out of 10 new Spydercos from him.

I hadn't heard of knifeconnection before this thread and I am glad that I did. Looks like a great retailer. I have bought knives from the other two and both are top notch in my experience.

Hi, Mike:
Our Dealer Locator (https://www.spyderco.com/resources/dealer-locator/) is your best source for determining if a retailer is an Authorized Dealer for us. Some retailers are awesome dealers with a wealth of positive feedback, but they may not technically be an "Authorized Dealer" for us. Authorized Dealers are those who purchase directly from us and are in good standing.

I hope this helps.
