Guess who's going to SMKW next week?

That's right... THIS GUY!

I'll have to hide a knife purchase on the CC...to include in "vacation expenses". LOL

That's one of the coolest place to go "look" at knives. I actually PM'd KnifeLady from there to check pricing on a knife that she beat pretty well. Unless you want it right then, you might try the same

I've been once! Couldn't spend as much time there as I'd wanted, though. We were on our way home and needed to get on the road.

Phones work too...correct. Perhaps I should PM Brad (I'd be looking at a folder if I shop for one) and ask for a Tx number...

Yep, I think I looked around for a few hours and it still wasn't enough time to look at everything. They have a display downstairs of the different improvised shivs that have been found in jails. Pretty neat to see what has been used and can be used.

Hope you get to spend a ton of time there!

My wife thought she would hate it and her and my 7 year old went back twice with me. (Daughter liked the Bears singing "Rocky Top"). Last year I bought strands of African trade beads to give to the twentysomething female liberal hippies in the family for Christmas (or as they call it "Winter Solstice) and meteorites, jade horses, sharks teeth, and mini balls for the male twentysomething conservative rednecks in the family. The stuff is dirt cheap and you see people selling it on ebay all the time for double what he has on it. I asked the guy down there about the prices being so low and he said the owner sells them for enough to cover his trips. Nice neolithic points from the Sahara. It's pretty cool. Oh yeah, and SMKW has got a few knives there as well.

There is a Bass Pro Shop @ the intersection of I-40 & Route 66 . It's north, & SMKW is south. Have fun.

Yeah...drove by it.

But, if you've been to one Bass Pro, you've been to just about all of 'em.

BP is no big deal to me.

I agree that it's a great place to go look around... definitely not interested in buying there... can be had much much cheaper elsewhere...

I went there about 4 years ago and me and my dad spent 3-4 hours just looking plus I got my first knife.

THat BPS is tiny its the size of a dicks or gander mountain but still a good store

I've been there before too. Fun place but you need to know what things are worth. My son ended up getting a really nice "King Aurthur" type wall hanger that was priced better than most places on line. There's actually lots of things for the ladies to look at too!

They do have higher prices since they have a higher overhead with paying for that nice building.

Enjoy yourself down there and try to take enough time to look at everything. Even if you do not buy then at least write down what you were interested in and compare prices. Actually you can even start comparing prices now from their website.

I just PM'd your hubby with a few price quotes.

We were down there Labor day weekend, and traffic was so bad we wound up taking the back roads out of Gatlinburg. I had planned on stopping at SMKW on the way out, just didn't get the time. We're going back in December, and I plan on making the stop on our way in. Always wanted to go, just never have actually got to do it.

 

[Cemetery-man]

I love that place. I've dumped so much money there I think they are adding on a wing and naming it after me.

 

[signal6_911]

I love that place! Would love to go back when I get the chance. The Bass Pro Shop down there is one of the best I've ever been in as well!
