Stopped by Saturday to look for a inexpensive kershaw at least, or a perfect 940-1. They carry all types of knives. From Kitchen to fixed blades to folders. CRK, Benchmade Spyderco, Kershaw, ZT, William Henry, and more. Their selection is top shelf to inexpensive.
In any case the first place I stopped was the high end display. To my surprise they had a few knives that were put out on display for showing off but not for sale (A Grimsmo, and a custom anodized triple 888). Quite frankly it took a good bit of effort not to blurt out random offers for the Grimsmo. But it was made clear it was not for sale, nor handling.
They had a few Sebenzas but not the model I have been looking for (and currently waiting on pre-order).
Next up was Benchmade, and then ZT. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a fancy ZT. However the only % off sticker was 35% on the Kershaw display. I figured they were running a sale on ZT/Kershaw (KAI after all).
I asked a rep (Pete), and he informed me that it was indeed 35%. I immediately told him I'd buy it but wanted to browse first. Pete and I talked for a while discussing knives, and a special project they got going on (should be interesting). It's very refreshing to see knife shop employees that know what they're talking about, don't push sales but service, and appreciate knives the way us nutjobs do.
After a while of walking around, I walked up to the counter and asked to see a new ZT 600. I found the discount was 25% not 35%. After a while of thinking about it I decided to go for it after all it was likely one of the last 600's available but asked for Pete personally (in the event they get commission or bonuses on sales). He decided to honor the 35% at check out, however I wouldn't have it. 10% isn't worth getting anyone in trouble. We ended up compromising.
I was very happy with the purchase and service. If anyone is in the Forth worth dallas Area they are DEFINITELY worth a visit. :thumbup:
