Second on MARKS OUTDOORS . Ask for Randy.

Third for Mark's. Randy and Chris are always helpful and know their stuff. Super friendly.

Not sure if OP is aware from the way it is stated but BladeHQ has a store front iirc.

Omaha knives. LaVista, Nebraska. All high end production knives, outdoor gear, kitchen cutlery. Always excellent service.

I'll add another appraisal of Mark's Outdoors in Alabama. I worked nearby for awhile and spent way too much $$$ there. Awesome staff and stock of folders (including ZT LEs).

Omaha knives. LaVista, Nebraska. All high end production knives, outdoor gear, kitchen cutlery. Always excellent service.

Yes! Very underrated knife shop. Great range of Microtechs, Zt's, Chris Reeves, etc. and cool owners. I grabbed a Fallkniven awhile back and am planning to return soon.

Kittery Trading Post in Maine had the best selection I've seen in person–which isn't saying much. I haven't been in a while, but I remember seeing many ZTs and Benchmades. Spyderco won't sell to them however.

Spyderco won't sell to them because they were knowingly selling counterfeits.

Personally, I wouldn't give them a penny.

Knife City Outlet, Sun City AZ (just east of Holbrook on I40)

That would be Sun Valley, AZ

 

[22-rimfire]

One Stop Knife Shop in Louisville KY
Knives Ship Free in Ooltewah TN (small store front, but all their inventory is available through their store front).

There are a couple knife stores in Kingsport TN that I haven't visited. One deals in a lot of customs, but I am not positive that they have a store front.

One more for Mark’s Outdoors, the Riverchase Galleria of guns and knives in Alabama.

Warren Cutlery & Kitchen
Route 9 , Rhinebeck NY

They have a good selection of all the major knife brands and a huge stock of kitchen knives too.
Students and staff from the nearby Culinary Institute of America shop there.

Warren Cutlery , the company known for their wood caving tools, is located on route 9G, a mile away in a separate building.
