Well lets see if anyone knows of one along those miles of white beaches, almost too pretty to think of knives. Notice I said almost ;)

Gino,

RANDALL MADE KNIVES

Orlando, Florida 32839

See Map Phone – 407.855.8075 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 407.855.8075 FREE  end_of_the_skype_highlighting
Fax – 407.855.9054

Open 7AM - 5PM
Monday through Thursday

Also,not sure of the route you're taking ,but a side trip to SMKW in Sevierville,TN on the way down would not be wasted.You can easily spend a day( or 2) there and there is plenty there for the wife and kids,too. I might also suggest pulling up Lion heart under the members tab and shoot him an email. He lives in Sarasota,FL  and would know if anyone would. BTW, I lived in Ocala, FL , about 90 miles north of Sarasota, and my best knife finds were in the area pawn shops.I scored some pretty nice knives that way.

Sorry, Jan, probably not. I lived in Ocala,FL for 25 years (past tense) I moved back to Illinois to help take care of my parents a few years back. Mom and Dad are both 90 (mom turned 90 2 days ago) and lord help me, I turned 60 today.I live in Champaign, IL now, home of the University of Illinois.
