This is my local knife shop just down the hill from where I live. It is located right next to the world famous Santa Anita Racetrack in Arcadia, California. At the Westfield Santa Anita Mall in the recently added outdoor Promenade. The owner's name is Vince and his father was a regional distributor of Gerber knives for 30 years, back in the day. They carry primarily tactical folders and fixed blades. Good folks!

Some folks are lucky enough to live near such stores. I have to wait months till we get near enough to SMKW to stop.
The wife gets a little put-out when I seem to find different CASE places when we travel. (Thanks to their dealer locater. lol)

Vince just recently started selling Maxpedition gear (see the Backpacks on the wall shelves) to attract a wider client base. You have to diversify to survive nowadays. I have several Maxpedition pouches to hold some of my utilities. Here's one such pouch...
As you can see a lot of gear can be carried in one of these Pocket Organizers. I'm glad that Vince started carrying the Maxpedition line of gear in his store. I have used the pouch seen above for the last couple of years, in addition to other Maxped gear. Good stuff!
