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.

We have several so take your pick, not the floor please

@@SMKWcomI visited here today and I am completely obsessed with the in house animatronic band. What year were they installed? Also can you ask the maintenance department to fix Buckshot’s mouth? Good job on fixing the lightbulb above Ricochet’s head

[@CytoplasmicGoo]

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!

[@PLEASE_DISCARD]

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

Shank section by the Toys section. That's EXACTLY how I would have designed it too!!!

Shanks are knives too. 😂

[@jimbeaux89]

We came here last year when we were staying in the area and I brought my wife and two children there and was expecting them to want to leave after about an hour, but we ended up staying for three hours because of all of the amazing historical artifacts they have. This is probably the coolest store I have ever been to in my life! Staff is top notch! We’ll be staying in the area next month and we’re DEFINITELY coming back!

[@mwhich50]

I hit SMKW at least once, when we vacation in Gatlinberg. It takes me about three hours to see everything that interests me. My wife drops me off, and hits 3-4 wineries, and picks me up later in the day.

[@SMKWcom]

Sounds like a solid plan!

[@daveyboy6985]

I'd have to have a glass of wine after visiting this store, just to get over the excitement 😀

[@03_austindrake88]

I have always wanted to see a good tour of the store. I would need 3 days just to check everything out. SMKW is such an epic place. Great job TC and Isaac.

[@SMKWcom]

[@area51.52]

The hard work SMKW has done really shows here. I live on the other side of the country so I haven’t been able to visit the store, so I really appreciate this video. I had no idea SMKW was such damn fine American establishment. Well done, gentlemen..... well done. Proud to do business with you 🇺🇸💪🏼.

[@danielgattuzo3065]

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!

[@SMKWcom]

Thanks for stopping in and sharing this awesome knife story with us👍

[@willbart1236]

I was in there a few years ago. It is overwhelming. I had a pocket full of money, but I did not know enough about knives at the time. So I picked up another buck 110. And a copper zippo lighter with an octopus and compass rose on it. You need at least three hours to check out the store.. great place. Smoky Mountains rock.

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!!!...

[@franklinking3861]

Thanks for the tour TC...I visited with my dear friend Dr Troy Dailey, who lived there in Sevierville. He had to show me the coolest store around, and he was right.

Man I stopped by and finally checked out your store when I was in the area a month or so ago. My wife was waiting in the car while my daughter and I checked out the place. I thought I won’t be long. Yeah she was unhappy because I was in there about a hour and got lost about 3 times lol. I didn’t realize how much stuff you had like the historical stuff for sale downstairs. I ended up leaving with nothing because they just didn’t have any of the cooler models of spyderco and Benchmade in stock but I’ll be back and maybe I’ll find something next time.Only thing i didn’t see is any Ontario knives and one other brand I can’t think of right now while i was there.
