I'm going to be taking a short business trip to Colorado Springs in a few weeks. Can anyone recommend local shops that carry traditional folders?

The short answer is 'no'. I guess I see some traditional folders in the malls (the Citadel at around 600 North Academy Bl or the Chapel Hills at the extreme north end of Academy Bl). The biggest knife dealer in town is Specialty Sports & Supply down south at the intersection of Drennan and Academy. If you fly in through the Colorado Springs Airport you are in the general neighborhood. I don't think they are big on traditional folders.

Out west in Manitou Springs "The Mountain Man" has rustic knives, tomahawks, and kits. It is an interesting store. The Blade Shoppe on Bijou tends to have "collectors" fantasy blades. So does "Prince of Thieves" on Colorado. You might find some traditional folders at the Blade Shoppe, I don't remember.
 
Thanks Jeff. The trip has come and gone and while I was out there I barely had time to scratch my ... well, you get the idea.
