Mine are always found in yard or farm sales.

Lots of good ones at antique shops.  I saw these at Lehmans in Amish country a couple of weeks ago.  Nice looking tools.  

I prefer one with a curved blade.  But the most important thing to look for is that the blade is single beveled.  I bought a new Snow and Neely, that is double beveled, paid big bucks for it and it is useless for bows.

Here are a couple links. I have the larger straight edge one and it holds an edge and cuts better than any other I have tried.

I found 2 of them on Kijiji.  It is a free site for selling and buying most things

Flea markets, yard sales, and farm auctions are where I get mine.

The old ones are the best and Pexto are the best of the old ones, then probably Buck Bros. There are some real pricy ones made by Barr, sold in the Schroeder Log Home Supply, Inc. catalog  www.loghelp.com.   I have one and it's a dandy, but got it several years ago when they weren't so high. Dean Torges in his "Hunting the Osage Bow" says he likes Pexto. They're still around but not so easy to find and usually run from $45 - 80.

I have an old Pexto that I was lucky enough to pick up, and it is not only in great condition but I can vouch for the quality of them from it. I also got it from a Flea Market Vendor. A Knife Dealer (and other old things) that I've known for awhile and he gave me a nice discount. As I recall his original price was $45.00 It sure is a nice one and a pleasure to use. To be honest, I hadn't even noticed it was a Pexto untill I was using it yesterday, I just saw that it was a good one.
