Not really sure if this counts as off topic but I was just wondering if anybody knows of some knife stores in Ohio because I think that I would maybe like to hold a knife I want instead of looking at a bunch of reviews as most probably do. I know this is kinda an awkward question reaching out to Ohions but I'm kinda desperate. If no one knows of any its fine.:)
 
Fin feather fur in ashland has a ton of knives depending on what your looking for. Not too far from you and worth the trip if you like firearms too...
 
I think the best bet is to have all the Ohio knife nuts gather together to fondle each other's knives :D The best I've found are Bass Pro or REI in Cincinnati, but even those are pretty miserable selections.
 
River's Edge has unusual/ more expensive knives. They usually have quite a few Spydercos, Benchmades, and sometimes they have a big selection of microtechs and CRKs
 
I believe Spark has a store in Louisville. I was going to check it out in a few weeks; it's 10x better to buy knives at a physical store than online, especially if you already have some basic information about what's out there, types of steel, prices, etc.

He's referring to Sparks shop in Louisville, One Stop Knife Shop.

As for shops in Cincinnati, there is a great little local shop in Northern Kentucky called Cecil Clark Knives. He sells knives from Spyderco, ZT, Esee, Cold Steel, Kershaw, Victorinox, and so on. Also the new Field & Stream store has a pretty decent selection of knives but closer to MSRP.

Then there are Cabelas in Columbus and Bass Pro Shops up near Toledo.

Cool store to check out but way over priced, full blown MSRP. I highly recommend Survival-tactics llc in reynoldsberg, smaller selection but much better pricing.

Ditto. It's a neat store to stop in and check out but their prices are full blown crazy.

They rationalize it with the good-guy "You're supporting local businesses by shopping here, we'll take care of all your warranty problems, etc" sales pitch though.

Why do I need a middle man to send my knifes to Benchmade or Kershaw for repairs?
 
Cabela's has a big selection. But also overpriced. I fell in love with my Military there. But they wanted over $200

+1 on Cecil Clark, great little store and he has more than you'd think available. I guess because he has an online presence also. Can I mention that?

this spring i hope to have a sharpen in and basic get together. the local farm store has a nice case assortment. there is a store in bellefontaine. i'm not sure what the name is but i know it has something to do with mad river.
 
Richard, I just read through one of your paper paper wheel threads. I'd love to get together and pick your brain! I learn best by watching.

Lehman's Hardware in Kidron has a huge selection of traditional knives.
 
I'm about an hour north of you and there isn't much up here either. I have to order everything online as well.
