What a Knife Store

[ackvil]

I spent a week in the Smoky Mountains and my brother-in-law suggested a trip to the Smoky Mountain Knifeworks in Sevierville, TN. They claim that they are the largest knife store and after visiting it I can believe that claim. I have never seen so many knives - and helpful employees who know the products sold. In addition to knives, the store has an incredible collection of kitchen gadgets. My wife and sister-in-law joined us and she ended up spending more than I did.

I failed to take photos but here are some from the internet.

In addition to knives and kitchen gadgets, the store has a nice collection of guns and accessories. Worth a visit.

On my list of places to see. Also plan to visit the Lodge store. It's going to be an expensive trip!

Got a box from there last week ... The catalog is a guily pleasure.

That’s a glorious store! Just got back from Kentucky and Tennessee (Nashville area) with the wife and barely any knives in sight! Antiqued up a storm and the best I found were Case knives for $65-125 (no thanks, I’ll buy new for way less) or beat up, crummy Asian made knives for a little less.
I was surely hoping for better picking being in that region but I guess it’s a common spot.
There was barely any shaving related gear as well! No souvenirs for me! But SWMBO decorates half our home with finds from this trip.

The Lodge store in Sevierville is OK. The Factory (and outlet) in South Pittsburgh, TN is phenomenal.

My wife and I visit KY 2-3 times a year, but my wife tries to keep me away from knife and ammo stores. I've been happy with my Spyderco Delica 4 for a number of years, so I don't push it.

The delica is a great edc. I love it.

The lower flour is filled with great kitchen gadgets. My wife spent more than I did.

Kitchen gadgets would be the the last thing my wife would be interested in looking at. She avoids our kitchen as much as possible, unless I have a fresh pot of coffee made.

Lol'd that!

No! I have enough kitchen knives for two chefs. And enough pans to stock a Wms Sonoma.

 

[Niles]

That looks like a fun place to spend some time browsing.

I bought a small camp axe from them and it was a very good bargain, and works great.

I've been ordering from SMKW since the mid 1980s. Mail-order forms & postal money orders. [emoji41]

Back in about 1991 I found/was given a SMKW catalog. The one thing in it that stuck with me was a Young Indiana Jones Adventures swiss-style knife & belt buckle combo. I was never able to order it then but I found in online on Ebay in the early 2000's & snatched it up right away.
