Best Physical Knife Stores in U.S.

[GatorMedic]

Apart from the big retail shops like Bass Pro and REI, what are some good standalone knife stores y'all would recommend in decent size cities? I'm visiting Oklahoma City soon so if anyone has recommendations near there specifically I'd appreciate it. But I figure this would be a good thread for people to reference when they are going on a trip to see if there's a good knife store on the way or nearby their destination to check out.

Mark's Outdoors in Birmingham, Alabama. Listed a while back as one of the 100 places to visit before you die. They have impressive knife displays from just about every maker!

Smoky Mountain Knife Works in Kodak, TN. It's a few miles from Pigeon Forge, TN off I-40.

St nicks knife factory. There are three but I like the one in gulf shores (foley). Small store packed to the hilt with everything from dime store junk to the finest William Henry's and reeves.

GP Knives outside St. Louis, MO is really awesome. The staff was awesome to talk to and their inventory was really astounding. If anyone of you forumites are out that way, I HIGHLY recommend checking that place out.
