We are officially moved in!!! We would have quietly opened today but unfortunately our glass tops were not ready and do to liability we could not be open. Tomorrow we should be open regular hours. Our official Grand Opening/Open House is scheduled for Saturday November 14th from Noon until 6:00 PM. We have Andy Roy of Fiddleback Knives, LT Wright of LT Wright Knives, Dylan Fletcher of Fletcher Knives, Allen Surls of WA Surls Knives, Todd Hunt of TM Hunt Custom Knives and possibly a few more surprise guest/makers coming in for the grand opening. I hope you will join us. The new location is:

Wow, congratulations on your new shop! It looks very nice, and it looks like you put a lot of effort, work and money into it; I love this country, where else can you set a shop like that with all those blades in it? Not in Mexico for sure, pocket knives are illegal down there. I love the American flag in that office!! A framed one on that wall behind the Benchmade stand would look amazing. I also like the name of your business, the only knife to buy, usamadeblade.
I wish I lived closer to you so I could go to the grand opening, I really do.
My best wishes for your success in your venture, I will be visiting your website soon to check it out. And thanks for posting this, I didn't know your business was out there.
 
Congratulations op, while I haven't done business with you yet, I plan to based on all the great things i've heard said about you/your business from other members here. Best of luck in the new place!
 
I'll definitely stop by when I'm down that way. I love, love, the concept of USA Blades only:)

Excellent! I wish you and your new business the best and much success. I haven't been to NC in a while but I see I can order on-line. :)
 
Wow...congrats. I am really happy for you. If I ever get a chance I'll swing down to say hello!
 
If I was local, I'd totally check out your shop. Feeling a knife in your hands is very important. I'm glad some will be able to do that.

All the best. Cheers!
 
Congratulations Scott. You're new shop is coming along nicely. I really wish I could stop by and spend a few hours checking out all the knives and talking knives.
 
Scott............CONGRATS my friend...With your outstanding customer service and true integrity..
I think.. The BF family will keep you up and moving along...for quite a time..
 
Checking out your website. Looking for a nice EDC folder.
Want a lightweight, smaller blade that I can use daily and put through the paces.
Prior Army EOD and used to half serrated blades for cutting time fuse and det cord.

DPX Heat Shred -vs- ZT 0900 Les Goerge -vs- ZT350 Tiger Stripe -- thoughts?

The kicker in your question is lightweight. The lightest of the 3 is the DPX Heat Shred. The 900 is a heavy knife for its size but a great knife in the hand. The shred and 900 are small. The 350 is a beast of a knife and not known for being light. It can handle anything you can throw at it. Other suggestions are the Benchmade 0300S-1, the ZT0450 or the ZT0562CF. Really depends on your budget and personal preferences. I always say get what appeals to you the most and you will be happy! Thank you for your service in the Army!
 
Shop looks great! Wish I lived closer I'd be in all the time! :D. Best wishes on your new adventure!
 
Looks big and nice. Sure wish we had a store down here like that. Sure would be nice to see products in the metal rather than only online when buying. Congrats and good luck for ya.
