How KnifePriceCheck works
One table instead of thirty open tabs: the same knife, every dealer, cheapest first.
How prices are collected
We reread each dealer's own product page several times a day. Most knife shops publish price and stock in a standard format for search engines, and that's what we read. We never guess or estimate a price.
Every price shows when it was last checked. If a price is more than a week old, we say so next to it instead of hiding it.
How dealers are ranked
One rule, on every page: in-stock prices first, cheapest to most expensive. Out-of-stock and backordered listings come after. A dealer can't pay to move up.
How we make money
Some dealer links are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the dealer may pay us a commission. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes the order of the table.
Price alerts
Set a target price on any knife and we'll email you once when any dealer we track hits it. Then the alert ends. No account, no newsletter.
For dealers: our crawler
Our crawler identifies itself as KnifePriceCheckBot and signs every request with Web Bot Auth (keys at /.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory), so you can verify it's really us. It reads only public product pages, follows robots.txt, and checks each page a few times a day at most. To be added, removed, or to fix a listing, email hello@knifepricecheck.com.
