I've refered to a couple knifemakers when I could have taken the order / sale, and it hurts in the short term... but I've also gotten a few from other makers. I think what goes around comes around and a customer who knows that you'll refer them to someone better able to make exactly what they want will remember you well. It establishes good word-fame.
I would have no problem paying a gallery for a referal though... that's advertising.
