Knife stores in Madison, Milwaukee, and Chicago (and in between)

[AmadeusM]

Please recommend.

I am interested primarily in Spydercos, Benchmades, and Emersons.

Chicago has Northwestern Cutlery, I think its 810 W. Lake st. downtown, nice selection, smaller than it used to be though. Corrado Cultery in Skokie at Old Orchard Mall has some folders, BM and Spydies, Kershaw, etc. Occasionally you can find decent stuff at some army/navy suplus stores, you have to go around and check. Not familiar with any others ( i should open one up in the city!

I'm not sure of his exact address but Moore Cutlery is in Lockport, IL which is pretty close to Chicago. Check out www.knives.cx which is his site. He's got plenty of production knives and a lot of sweet customs and semi productions too. Hell of a nice guy too.
