Going to pick up a bow in Intercourse, PA. I drove past a small red brick building with a sign: American Military Edge Weapons Museum. I’ve been by that place before but never noticed it. Anyone been there? They don’t seem to have a webpage.

Nice place. I wish I had known about this the last time that I was out that way. Thanks for sharing. Just looking at the video you posted helped me to identify a knife in my collection.

I live about a half hour, 45 mins away, and while I've gone down to the local knife store a couple of times, (good selection, MSRP sticker prices though), I never even knew that place existed...

You are going from Alaska to PA for a bow? That must be a heck of a bow! Does it have a +3 to ranged attacks modifier?

Never knew that museum was there, I'll need to check it out next time I'm there. Oh! Get some shoo-fly pie while you are there. Yum! I think they have a chocolate version now, but I've never tried it.

Lancaster County, PA is known for towns with off the wall names. Like:
Blue Ball, Bird In Hand, Intercourse, to name a few.

Haha! My ex took me to PA, to show me where she grew up, in birdsborough. I remember there being weird names for the towns there haha! I got a few shot glasses.

Never been, but the guy who runs it, Larry Thomas, was a major collector and exhibitor for a number of years. He also used to trade and sell knives from time to time. He has to be pretty old by now, so if people want to go, now is as good a time as any. Here's a small look inside -

That is an excellent collection, it reminds me very much of the Combined Military Services Museum in Maldon, Essex, UK.
I can highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the UK, East Anglia area.
 
Thanks for the links, I found the buttons for John Ek Commando knives. I also liked how in the one photo of the building, you see the Amish buggy go by the side street.
