Brick & mortar stores

the only places near Chicago that I'm aware of that one can buy a decent knife is Bass Pro Shop or Cabelas. After that we have Walmart and Meijers. And then your left with cheap-o junk knives at the virtuallly non-exsistent bait shops.

What about where you live? Are there any good brick and mortar stores where you can buy a decent knife in your area?

    Yes, Belmont Army Surplus is near Ashland/Division. It's On Milwaukee Ave. At one point it may have been in a different location. 

    Another unique brick-and-mortar store that comes to mind--if you're ever traveling to Yellowstone--is Seldom Seen Knives & Gifts. They recently started carrying our knives this year, but their store has an established selection of other brands as well. They're primarily brick-and-mortar (rather than web based), although they do have a Facebook page too, where they recently sent us a photo of their new display of White River Knives: Seldom Seen Knives isn't the only brick-and-mortar shop on our dealer list, but it's definitely a one-of-a-kind place.

    Actually Belmont Army is a different store! This is exciting news. Another place for me to check out!

    Shepherd Hills in Lebanon, MO .. 'bout an hr south of me.

    .

    Prices cannot compete w/ online pricing ..but.. nice to be able to hold 'n feel a knife when considering purchase.

    They maintain a fair variety of inventory. Case being their primary stock ..but.. other major brands are fairly represented.

    Pretty decent inventory of sharpening equipment also represented.
    .

    Not agreeing with Wal-Mart's business strategy .. I've successfully avoided entering one for some 17+ yrs now. However .. they are ever present. No idea as to their actual knife inventory ..but.. confident they offer something sharp & pointy.
