Any good knife stores in Austin, TX?

[L.J.Tibbs]

Been lurking here for a while and finally decided to join last week. The release of the HEST folder was what finally made me join.
But anyway, the nearest ESEE dealers seem to be in Houston, but do you guys know of any good knife stores in/around the Austin area?

Thanks

if you are looking for an ESEE to buy in person houston is the only place here in texas. there are many great places online.

i just bought an izula from www.knifeworks.com, they are right over in lousiana and they have a pretty good selection, ordered Tuesday 9pm got it Friday

i have found that best places to buy knives in person are gun shows. there are generally some really good deals there. i got a benchmade 551 for $40 cheaper than cabellas was selling and $35 cheaper than bass pro. i got it from the owner of www.soonerstaneknives.com


not trying to push any dealer in front of the other. i just remember i was really hesitant to buy a knife online.

Dunno about Austin, but Carroll's Gun Shop on Hwy. 59 east of El Campo on the way to Wharton has a great selection. Next time you're headed for Houston drop in there -- picked up my Dozier and BM Mini-Rukus there a couple of years back.
