I'm sure you are familiar with www.bladeplay.com not to mention the auction sites? Shipping is usually very quick.

Often sites claim they will not ship to your state, but they do. Ask the seller if they ship to you home.

Blade play will ship to Indiana and there isn't very many places in my area of Indiana that sell them over the counter. Best place to find them is the internet! Good luck.

Jaysin, you seem pretty firm on being able to drive to a place to purchase in person and I don't blame you. I mean, who wouldn't rather see a piece to their liking and inspect it before buying? I'm sure we all would. I recently went to a gun show in hopes to find switchblades for sale. I got to ask a couple people selling knives if they had any Angelo Campolin's or Latama's and they looked at me like I had 3 heads! They had never even heard of them. One booth had a few knives (A.G.A Campolin & Frank B) and wanted outrageous prices for them, stating how rare and hard to find they were. Geez! I had wished I had opened my phone & introduced him to BladePlay to show him his $350 knife was $120 available for the push of a button (no pun intended lol). Point is, like Sammy said, the Internet is going to give you your best shopping choices. Nobody could possibly have the inventory sites on the Internet have (except some of the members here. Once you see pics of their collections, you'll know where all the good knives are lol). Good luck...

Are you just looking for switchblades? If so what type are you looking for? Probably a lot of people here have a few they will come off of. Greentown is less than 20 miles from me, I know the surplus store your talking about. What part of Indiana do you live in?

I'd just post a WTB here and get one from a regular member. Or someone will post a link to a seller site with one.
