I know most want blades/brands they are familiar with but I have a fondness for old blades some of which I have to do research on to determine whether they are of any quality and worth my time and money to pursue. Some times a search is fruitless and other times I find blades that are a bargain for what they are.
I've found blanks of makers like Takao Fukuta or Ichiro Hattori that were either hard to find or discontinued decades ago that are in great condition and the seller is offeing them for a fraction of what I know they are worth.
Other times I've found knives from makers like Jernbolaget (Swedish), Anton Wingen Jr., Puma and a host of other german and American knife makers for bargain prices. The steel isn't as good as some modern steels but better or equal than alot of them.
These knives or blade blanks don't cost me alot (usually) unless they are very hard to find (1943 dot bayonet comes to mind). Very often I find knives with handle material that's either really expensive and hard to find now---Sambar Stag---some exotic hardwoods etc. and usually better quality.
I've found really nice carbon steel and stainless hunting and carving knives that just needed repair/restoration work for cheap.
Restoring and repairing vintage knives and bringing them back is a thing that connects me to history and makes me smile when I use them.
Before CNC machines and automated everything. Hand made and not expensive.
That;s why I have a fondness for vintage blades.
