Longstanding customer for 4 years now. Watching ownership change, and new staff roll in and out, the Knife Shoppe still provides excellent customer service, a variety of products ranging anywhere from functional to fantasy, and reasonable pricing. Although Ive moved away from the DFW area, anytime Im in Arlington Ill make a quick stop to see the next big thing theyre up to.Keep on truckin yall!
We entered in a random Instagram drawing from these guys and coincidentally won the drawing while we were down there doing a GoRuck event. These guys know their stuff. Quality products. David (the owner I believe) was a great guy. The crew was funny to work with. Super friendly.Thanks for the give-away! Well be back for more!
Ive shopped at this store for years. Ive bought a number of knives including my favorite, a Benchmade infidel (it comes with lifetime protection). Ive also bought a walking stick here after I shattered my leg and completed PT. The staff has never shown me a grouse or spoken an unkind word. Even if the knives were more expensive here than big retailers, theyre not, I would still come here first. Dont let the mall location fool you, this is an adult shop with serious knowledge behind its staff. They carry fun cosplay items too as well as unique gift ideas. Seriously, check them out.
Great little shop in the parks mall. They have a good variety of knives and blades, both functional and for display. They order from many major manufacturers and also promote local and U.S. crafted knives they have several useful and unique items, like pen knives and key knives, sharpener, pepper spray and utility knives.
Any type of Blade you could ever think of plus ones from video games and beloved stories... a great find
Great! Nothing but great things to say about The Knife Shoppe! The atmosphere is fun and interesting, employees are knowledgeable and friendly, and even the owner is on site from time to time(who is EXTREMELY knowledge). Great selection and will offer to order what they are able to, if you cant find something specific. Ive been going there for years, and forsee many more to come.Keep up the great work!
Really good store good selection of both cheaper knifes and more expensive kind and great selection of brands
Ive been going to the Knife Shoppe since its humble beginnings as a kiosk 20 years ago. I love the store and the employees are very knowledgeable. This is a great store for everyone from those looking to pick up a daily use pocket knife or a fantasy sword to a serious collector.
Great place, great employees and I love the environment. Those guys are very helpful and help me with any questions I had. Lots of variety! Been going there since I was a kid and I still think its the best store in the mall. Keep it up!
Ive been coming here since 2007, theres no place better, and Ive been traveling the country since I was a kid. Come here for all you need, regarding any kind of edge weapons.
Friendly staff and quality products for the price
Posting my review after knowing and visiting this place for years.The best knife shop not only in the region but easily the best in the state. Every one of the employees is knowledgeable in their fields: be it type of steel, types of knives or swords, even to if you wish to have a custom blade forged; who you need to get in contact with.The last 7 blades I have purchased have all been from this store, and if I am not sharpening my blade myself, I come here. The owner has always given me sound, solid advice on products - and has even gone out of their way to help me find the exact blades (the latest one was a Condor camp axe) that I had been searching for.On top of the amazing range and quality of the blades, the store also provides other products as well, including some of the best beard products Ive ever used (Long Rifle Beard Balm and Oils for the win, seriously), including my entire grooming kit with their selection of razors.To top it off, I exclusively get my coffee now from them as they started selling Black Rifle Coffee (the one you see on Youtube all the time, ya its worth the hype - Blackbeards Delight if you want Dark roast, or the AK Expresso if you want it lighter...just trust me). I could get the coffee somewhere else much closer to home, but because the crew there at The Knife Shoppe is on point all the time, every time, and go out of their way to help the customer - Im more than willing to go out of my way to get my coffee and blades from them, its worth it.(Seeing the comments about masks - its a private business people, if you were really worried about the Corona virus, why the hell you going to the Mall? Just putting that out there...)
Most amazing collection of handcrafted knives in Texas... you must come see! Incredible!
I picked up my switch knife there today, and the staff was friendly. They showed me how to use it and the specifics of the knife that were unique to it. Me and the other Teds are gonna rumble tonight!
Good to Great products...even better personnel & managers. Helpful, quick and attentive. Photo later...
Extremely friendly staff always willing to help. They dont have the gerber paraframe though, which is extremely unfortunate since it is the best knife Ive ever seen. Overall a good place to shop
They have some nice knives, just not enough.
We get all our World of Warcraft (WOW) and Hobbit/ Lord of the Rings swords here. They also sell good quality Damascus steel. Owner is excellent and very friendly/ down to earth. I dont think well ever go to a different knife seller honestly. Id rather let him order something and get it in shop than go somewhere else. Highly recommend
Yeah I give this place 5 stars right now because that review below me, 1 star, gave 1 star because no employee was wearing a muzzle and hiding in their kennels like they were told. 55 STARS! DONT YOU DARE TUCK YOUR TAILS---YOURE TOO GOOD FOR THAT. WE NEED YOU. ANGEL ABBAS.~~Edit: Dear Shop Owner, would you be able to tell me how those employees were able to get exempted? Or where I can research/call/request for info/assistance in potentially obtaining legal exemption?(Not able to reply to my comment/your reply---Thank you dear soul...)
Such a great place to shop at, top rated customer service and knowledge of knives. I would recommend this store to anyone.
They have a great selection of knives and awesome customer service!! Cant go to the Parks Mall without stopping in the Knife Shoppe! I love that I don’t ever feel pressured to wear a mask when visiting the store and that I can express my freedom.
Awesome customer service. Great selection. Supporters of freedom. Love this place.
Awesome place, good staff, and what you want they can get if they dont have on hand.
Nice stuff. Dont get drunk and post on facebook though.
Very Friendly & Professional employees who know their knives. I have recently purchased several knives here and will continue to return. Also, a Great selection of knives!!
Love this place,I come all the way from mesquite just to go to this place.
I used to love this place. I live in Plano now so its hard to come by but I was in the area and wanted to get one of my knifes sharpened. When I walked in, I was appalled to see that not a single employee was wearing a mask. I asked if anyone hear wore a mask and one employee responded by laughing and shaking his head no. The fact that during a worldwide pandemic, at a time when there is a national mandate to wear masks in any public setting, these employees and this company is willing to risk their customers health is just plain wrong. I am so disappointed. Over the years I have purchased so many knives that were absolutely wonderful, but I will no longer return. Dont go to here if you care about your safety!!!
Cheap knife or expensive, expect quality regardless.
The employees are always super polite and knowledgeable about their products. Ive gone here for years and they always take the time to sharpen or adjust the action on my knives as a complimentary service. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality knife or in need of some light maintenance work done.
We were totally ignored when we visited while at the location in the Parks mall. Me and my son were looking to buy a practice sword and were unable to purchase one. We got tired of waiting so we left and purchased one on Amazon.
Bought the smallest knife! Love this store.
Great products nice, variety and friendly, courteous employees
Santigio was awesome very helpful patient, and informative.
Very friendly very helpful help me get the perfect Christmas gift for my son was not pushy I was amazed at the level of customer service these gentlemen have it was refreshing
They have great sells there
Small shop. Could definitely use more space and more product. A few fantasy pieces a few katana/samurai swords ⚔️. Lots of pocket knives 🔪
Bought some awesome knifes
I love this place and the people are really nice and knowledge
Great place to buy knives and more.
Fun staff friendly and informative, if you get my point.
I love this place as well dont get me started on this knife store check it out if you can
Great service, knowledgable staff, and excellent products!
This is one of the best stores I’ve been to WAY better then the Asian living. Better service and better prices
Wouldnt tase me the nerve
Great shop with knowledgeable associates
Very patient sales staff.
Friendly and helpful
20 years of helpful and respectfully from BB guns and knives to cosplay swords. Keep going.
My favorite knife shop in the parks mall
Exellent place for some top quality knives and for the cheaper ones also. The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about all their products. Their prices are very fair also. I will be back and Highly Recommend this establishment for all your knife needs. They also carry some nice old school type shaving razors.
Great products and staff is friendly and knowledgeable.
Great selection, buy all my knives here. Staff always helpful and usually interested in finding what you need. I bought a somewhat expensive knife last time, but was curious about warranty, the guy was interested in finding out and spent a few minutes making a phone call just to see if it had one before I bought it. Great place, stop just to look and you will probably walk out with something. Haha
I have never had a problem with any knife bought here, and the employees are always more than happy to help you decide!
They have an awesome selection of various swords, knifes, and other weapons like batarangs (which I bought), flails, throwing stars. They have some both decorative and functional items. The staff was pretty cool and friendly.
The employee that helped us was really friendly and knowledgeable. I got something sharp for my brother and husband.
Small, but an excellent selection of swords, daggers, knives reasonably priced!
Helpful staff and fair prices but a little disappointed in the limited selection of high end EDC knives. Most of the merchandise leans towards the low end market. That being said, I was still able to find a nice EDC but feel like I might have found a more perfect fit if I had shopped around a bit more.
Oh my God this shop had the coolest swords just all kinds of cool weapons and stuff just you have to go check it out yourself I just cant give it the credit needs
Always an awesome experience. Whoever does the hiring/training there always picks super helpful/knowledgeable staff.
The guys here are very helpful and educated. Prices are fair
Great! Was looking for a hard to find style of knife (otf), but didnt want to pay $250 + for one. They had those expensive ones, and much more affordable, yet equally nice, ones ($30). I was in and out in less than 5 minutes, partly because I knew what I wanted, but most importantly, they had it. Will definitely be going back.
Great quality knifes and the workers there are really cool, every time I go there they never disappoint
We have bought a few blades, a safety razor, and blades here. Always amazing to visit, polite customer service too! We will be back for more in the future!
Great place and wonderful service. Recommend this place if you looking for a great knife.
A really cool knife shop. They carry the big brands, like Benchmade, Kizer, Spyderco, Kershaw, and a few others, and lots of novelties. Good prop collection. Overall, a quality shop for mid-range items; Id probably shop online for high end.
Great service and anticipated my knife sharpening for my cooking knifes.
A very cool place if your in the parks mall this is a must store to go in
Been coming here for 6 years. Theres always something good on sale, and theres a wide variety of novelty decorative blades and practical knives for hunting or self defense
I cant stop by the Parks Mall in Arlington without going to the Knife Shoppe and ThinkGeek. Go there. You wont be disappointed.
HORRIBLE TIME THERE. All I did was walk in and ask about my knife and if sharpening could get some random mark out on my blade that I had just bought the day before. After the sharpening I looked at my blade and it was still there. I just wanted to ask the guy what it could be but instead he yellls and screams at me to get out the store and he tells me that they were to busy. How are you busy with 4 people behind the counter not doing anything but standing around on their phones doing NOTHING!? Oh if you wanted to know who the guy is. Hes the white male bald with glasses. I think he was a racist.
Nice guy running the place!To many cheap knives and fake swords.
Amazing staff, completely helpful and knowledgable. Not even a knife person, actually needed something for an art project and they completely helped me out!!! Will return! Very friendly!
Whether you just want a pocket or hunting knife, or maybe are in the market for a replica sword from your favorite: Anime, Game, or Movie, this is the place! Helpful and friendly staff too.The prices are a bit higher than some other retailers that ive visited, but this can be expected. But even with that in mind, its still a great place to check out and maybe make a purchase!
A bit small but the great place for the sword and knife collector at reasonable prices! Helpful staff👍
I make trips to the parks mall, specifically, for this store. ThinkGeek is an awesome stop as well.
Would spend my hole pay check here. They need some newer stuff. Other then that I stop by there every time up that way. Have bought 10 of my swords from here.
Mid to high prices and a great selection of products.
Ive been buying all my knives here for 20 years. 😁
It was a great store with lots of unique gifts.
Not really a place for a high end knives, but they do carry lots of Pop culture related items
Ordered a crkt karambit and it came in pretty fast
