Charles, this has got to be the best blog of the year.  What a great job you did in showing us what SMKW is like.  I enjoyed all the pics of the facility, the KL guys, the knives you bought, etc.  Thanks so much, and great job.

Great story.  SMKW really is magical.  Have you ever seen a raccoon running on two legs with a load of food in his front paws?  That's how I look when I visit the KnifeWorks.  Just give me one each of everything.  And I keep on having to ask my wife for more money which wears her out.  But it is such a cool store.  I passed it on my way to Gatlinburg for several years, but once I finally stopped I was hooked.  I can now proudly say that I truly have "too many knives"!  LOL!

I have one of their catalogs on order Peter.  Haven't received it yet though.  But looking forward to it.

BTW, that is some very good advice at the bottom of your post.

What is in some peoples minds? I guess they think they can sell those things. Yes, they truly need the message but if they could just realize you don't have to steal it. Its free.

Ken, a sad commentary on the times we live in.  Just before I bought the Jesus Saves knife, someone stole one of them.  It was in a display case sitting on a display counter.  Apparently a clerk left the case unlocked and someone stole the knife out of it.  As I was walking up to the counter, one clerk was telling the other clerk about it.  Obviously whoever stole it needs the message it carries.

And in the same vein, Josh told me that the thing they have stolen the most is Bible covers!

Love that Case "Jesus Saves" Knife

I first bought knives from SMKW back in the late 1970's, but I've never been there. 

Their catalog back in the 70's was about a six page newspaper like catalog!
