People in the store are ANGRY, like really pissed off that we and other customers are there. Treating everyone like crap for wanting to BUY their product. One guy snaps at ever person who enters the door. Openly complaining about how busy it is and giving every excuse in the book to treat people poorly. Yes you are busy, but people want to purchase from you and make you money dude! The least you can do is be kind and considerate. If you want to be treated poorly, go there and try to ask a question or two, you'll be shut down like the back gate.

When there was some harness fraying a couple of months later, they didn't hesitate to fix the problem. Not only did I receive excellent customer service, but I could see other customers being treated the same way. This isn't a place to go if you are looking for the cheapest equipment on the market. This is where you go if you want to speak with people who know what they are selling, will take the time to answer your questions, and will stand behind their products. They are relocating next door to a larger space and are still open while relocating. I will for sure be visiting again soon.

What a great online find! This small shop in Calgary has a nice selection of knives and EDC /…read moresurvival gear. Many of their products are listed for less than larger online *Canadian* retailers, depending on model. Sidenote: It's still hard to beat U.S. prices (as online shoppers up here know), but due to the somewhat recent border law changes regarding assisted / manual opening knives (I have strong opinions about that, which I will not get into here), many of the cutlery retailers in the States have ceased cross-border shipping. So for the majority of us law-abiding residents, we need to purchase these items solely through Canadian retailers. I'm all for supporting local businesses but not a fan of being forced to do so... more options are always good for consumers. Anyway, Target Knives miraculously had a discontinued multi-tool that I was looking for (one left in stock), which was quite amazing since the model has been discontinued for several years now. I seriously think I purchased the last one in Canada, at least online! My order arrived quickly and was packaged securely. I didn't receive any email confirmation / tracking info after ordering, which I attributed to the online e-commerce system for a small store. Hopefully this is something they will start doing once their online sales become more frequent. From their online selection (haven't visited the store yet), it appears Target Knives's purpose is aimed toward daily-use EDC / survival gear. Don't expect to find high-end or ultra-custom cutlery online here (Benchmade is probably the highest brand they carry online, which is definitely quite good), but for mid-range and below, Target Knives has a good spread for a small shop. You might find some hard-to-locate gems such as the multi-tool I purchased... and as mentioned, great prices on many of their products. Honestly, dependable mid-range gear is better for EDC anyway IMHO since I hate messing up super expensive gear during daily tasks. But hey, if you've got the money for it, more power to you. It looks like from other reviewers that Target Knives also carries some eclectic products in store, such as swords and fantasy collector items. I didn't see these online, but there are displays of them shown in the store photos. Pretty cool... I will definitely be stopping by during my next Calgary trip to check this place out!

My day started out by calling around to about 5 big shops to find a multi tool I have been reading…read moreabout for months now, and after getting a "no sorry I don't have that" from all 5 I called this place up. I didn't know if I would have any luck since it's a knife shop, but let me tell you this place is a Mecca for knife and out door tool people. There is tons of stock, he had three of the tool I wanted! Very eclectic little shop, and the owner is very helpful and knowledgable. Canada needs more of these home grown mom and pop shops. And literally everything I browsed while there was well below any discounted prices I saw online. Even Amazon! One word of warning, come here fully prepared to stay a good amount of time, because this place is loaded with great stuff.

I went to Bass Pro to exchange for a different size. Apparently that specific location is somewhat more Bass Pro than Cabela's (systems not updated after the acquisition) and could not do the exchange without the original printed receipt (I have the card my partner used but they couldn't look it up in the Bass Pro system and refused to do the exchange for size). This is inconvenient but not that bad considering standards of corporate greed, but the attitude and dismissive derision I received for wanting the correct size was kind of nuts. I will not be going back.
