I agree with Bill, and will add a caveat. It is best to also know the seller. There are some outstanding sellers, as well as some dishonest ones. My personal experience includes being swindled many times by sellers who tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, but not the whole truth. It can be beneficial to ask very specific questions about potential issues that might not appear in the photos.

There are several Face Book sights that have sellers. They seem to have the best prices for knives. Modern stuff, I would say you can't beat Perry Knife works.

Yeah I like gunbroker for guns sometimes. Looked at a knife on there couple weeks ago. It was a IKNOX. But the stamp looked like someone used a bur bit to write it so asked seller about three times what year it was no reply. So never bid on it.
