You know when you’re super excited to visit somewhere and you get that excited butterfly feeling in your stomach? Well, when that happens to me, it makes me poop. I would definitely poop in this store’s restroom.

I had the pleasure of visiting the store a couple of years ago when I was out camping in Great Smoky Mountains. It was amazing, I was there for hours trying out knives that I can only see in pictures online. I left with a ridiculous amount of knives and a big grin on my face.

[@buelowexcavating]

It cost me about $1,000 to get out of the store with a big smile on my face! I am going again!

[@Enrevibility]

Not to long ago I went to great smoky mountains! (Still here just on the way home) and we got my first knife there!

Took my son here for his tenth birthday from South Jersey. What was great is that he was able to flick over 100 knives till he settled on a Artisan. You can’t do that anywhere else in the country. I bought a matching larger version and then we got them engraved to commemorate the trip. This is such a cool store and the surrounding area is unbelievably beautiful with tons of stuff to do. Can definitely recommend creating a trip to TN around this store, so worth it!

An employee came by and apologized for my wait and said that I looked frustrated (I wasn't). She helped me with my purchase and gifted me a free SMKW duffle bag for my trouble. It wasn't necessary but was appreciated. I would have been a regular customer anyway but this token was very nice. This was about 20yrs ago and is still a nice memory!

We go to the pigeon forge area around 3 times a year. My wife hates this place. I on the other hand love it. When it’s busy there, it’s hard to remember what you’re actually there to look at. It can be a little overwhelming in a good way. I actually keep a running list of things on my phone so I don’t forget.

[@SMKWcom]

Keeping a running list is a great thing as long as you leave room to add more👍

[@Peenurpool]

I visited this store when I went on vacation one year... it was amazing and had everything anyone could think of if you wanted a knife... I spent hours in the store and although I did buy way more stuff than I planned on getting, I was very happy with what I was able to find 👍👍... all the employees were awesome!!... one knife I bought was a Case Canoe with real stag , and I looked through over 50+ of them to find the exact one I liked... Some asshole stole that knife from me one week after I got home... My vehicle was broken into and I had it in the console still in the box never used... I am still so pissed off about that, and mostly because I know I’ll probably never be able to visit the store again in my life, and plus the amount of time and money I invested in such a great product only to have some asshole steal it from me!!!...
