The knife shop in Estes has some decent stuff, Protech and Benchmade, etc. I've been told there's a shop in Colo. Spgs. that carries high end stuff, but I'm not sure what the name of it is. What brand or types of knives are you looking for? Brad.
You can find a few at Cabela's and Bass Pro. Certainly no bargains there though.
Bob Glassman has a business, The Custom Knife Gallery of Colorado. Can't get any higher-quality than the names he sells. His address is Littleton, but I don't know if they have an actual storefront or if their sales are online only.
Big 5 Sports, fugetaboutit. Took a peek at their knife cabinet this week, and it was nearly all low-end stuff. "Smith and Wesson" knives, fantasy/phony 'survival' knives, and knock-offs.
You might find something worthwhile at Academy Sports.
Go to Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear. Tons of knives, and traditional archery gear.
Try using Google:
Colorado Knife shops
Usually you can find Benchmade knives at gun stores.
Used to be Dave's Knives on Broadway in Englewood. Not sure if they moved or are gone. There is also Rapid Fire Bunker in Littleton. I've seen some Benchmades and such there. No customs though.
I have a gun store near me, so I'll check there, too.
My experience with gun stores, if you try and negotiate the price of a knife or gun, in many cases you can get some wiggle room. Good luck.
Rocky Mountain Knife store in Pagosa Springs has some decent knives (Benchmade, Cold Steel, etc.). Prices aren't great but they'll negotiate with you.
Gannett Peak archery in Ft. Collins is a BM dealer. Sportsman Warehouse in Loveland has a great selection and decent prices of BM's, Spyderco's, ZT's, among others. Jax in Ft. Collins and Loveland has a decent selection of BM's and Spyderco's among others. I stopped supporting that store (Jax) because the owner is a hypocritical liberal that stopped selling "assault rifles", but sells other firearms.
