      I was there year before last. My wife surprised me with a detour when we were traveling through Tennessee and KY. It's amazing in there. Too many knives to see all of them. My favorite part was the stuff on the walls not for sale. Got to handle amazing blades that I couldn't afford which to me is really great. Overall, it's just an amazing store.

    SMKW is great to buy from. some of my collection came from there. Some of my favorites that I own are all of my Microtech autos. Folders would be Benchmade as I worked 27 years in private security and always carried a griptilian. Fixed blade would be my Randall 14 attack with all the bells and whistles, Black micarta border patrol handle, stainless blade with saw teeth, nickel silver double curved hilt, and black sheath.

Never thought I would be a DPX guy, but the moment I held it I had to have it that was my last purchase from you guys few months back… I have a question.

    I like the screen saver of the girl in the office. "I don't always roll a joint, but when I do, it's my ankle". That was an enjoyable video. I love the stories that go along with the knives. Everybody has one, a pocket knife and a story. So do I. About thirty years ago I lost a new folder I was carrying that had a pocket clip. I took it out to use and must have been standing in front my car at the time and then I put it back in my pocket or so I thought. I drove home from where I was about 20 miles from home. When I got home, I went to use my knife and it was gone. When I went to use my car, while approaching it from the front, I saw my new knife hanging from the front license plate frame and it was open hanging by the pocket clip just off the ground. The blade edge at the tip had a couple small chips in it from the drive home earlier, but it worked as normal. I call it my lucky knife.

    My dad had a sporting goods/gun shop for 30 years (I worked there off and on in high school and through college) and my brother worked in several big box sporting goods stores for 20 years. I can tell that working at the store and having access to deals and wholesale prices is items, what we bought then is much different than what we buy now that we don’t have access to those deals.
    What would be very interesting is to find out what ‘experts’, who pay the same prices for their items that the public pays, carry and use.

For my flashlight I alternate between the Olight S2R2 and Fenix PD35. My wallet is the Maxpedition Micro Wallet that I’ve used for years. Pen is the Hinderer Investigator that’s been in my pocket everyday for the last 11 or 12 years now. Also carry an Aroundsquare Knucklebone and a Vox Snailor or two for fidgety stuff lol…..Rexford RUT for work…and SOMETIMES my Leatherman Wave+. Don’t carry it near as much as I should though.
