So after 3 years of selling knives online and out of my basement, we have grown enough and are going to open up a Brick and Mortar Store. I want to start by thanking BladeForums and every member on here for supporting us and helping us grow over the past 3 years. I would also like to invite any of you who are nearby or willing to travel to come see us on opening day, so please come! We will be giving away fun stuff to everyone who comes in the shop on opening day. We will also have some amazing deals on knives!

The store is very very small but we are using the space well and still have some room to grow! I custom built all the display cases and did all the work myself. Thought I would recap to you guys some pictures of what we started with and what it has become. I hope to see any of you who can come by the shop this next weekend, or any time you would like to make the trip.

We are located on a side street just .5 miles off of I-85 between Charlotte and Greensboro, NC. Our address is:

USA Made Blade
134 North Lee Street
Salisbury, NC 28144

Starting after this Saturday we will be open by Monday by appointment only and 12:00-6:00PM Tuesday through Friday!

My email is scott@usamadeblade.com Feel free to email me if you need specific directions!

Below are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!

Thank you all again, I look forward to meeting some of you very soon!

We started with an office space and a cubicle farm that all had to be ripped out!

It did not take long to rip out and start with a blank canvas:

Congrats Whitty. I love seeing when new shops open up in the US, regardless of whatever they are. Best of luck to you and your team now and always. I plan on buying some items from you when funds allow.
Best.
 
Opening in 14 hours! Not sure what to expect. Could have 5 customers all day or 50. Definitely anxious!
