I start buying as soon as I see them for sale. I keep them in my kitchen and never have a problem with them as long as they are in good shape to begin with. If I wait to buy any the price goes up and the selection goes down.

I buy in late September/early October for standard carvers, then branch out to local patches for heirloom/odd ones.
