Cheaper Source For Good Brass Knife Hinges ?

I love the Brusso hinges, the quality of them, but at $22 a pair... does anyone know where to get precision brass pivot hinges for under $20 a pair, is it possible? Or should I just suck it up and pay the premium for quality?

For the curious, looking for hinges like these: http://www.brusso.com/items/L-37.html

www.leevalley.com
Highly respected IMO. They do sell brusso hinges also - along with another companys' which are much less expensive. As far as quality - would probably have to order a set to see if they stack up.

A tired old phrase, but "you get what you pay for"
