I'm a bit older, but have been watching for a long time too. Jeff's is the only knife channel i've never unsubbed from or just stopped watching. He is the OG, even has a song written about him!
100% in agreement. I live on the other end of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh area) and am not really into knives but I would love to visit this establishment the next time I visit my Penn State buddies near Philadelphia.
Hey Jeff. Long time viewer here. I think this is the happiest I have ever seen you in a video! LOL. That is so awesome you could go back and its the same. It didn't look that much from the outside but wow what a selection. Have a great day
That store is crazy. And it looks like it’s in a pretty rural area which makes it even more deceptive. I had a similar experience with a firearm store about an hour from my house just completely in rural Missouri and I pop in and what they have is just massive. I remember their case of Wilson combat 1911s was about 50 deep. And that was just Wilson combat. They had another bigger case of nighthawk custom and then every other brand of every other type of pistol you could want. Ammunition just on the pallet it was wild.
At the 2:14 mark, I see a serrated and non serrated Spyderco UKPK in magnacut, and an LC200N💯🔥 The magnacut and LC200N UKPK make incredible lightweight hot summertime carry knives👍
It’s definitely a great store. They have so much variety of knives and sharpening equipment and gear. I try to get to the store at least once a year if I can. Thanks for sharing Jeff
That was super awesome to see. I live an hour and 40 minutes away, in Northwestern NJ and have always wondered if I should make the drive out to this place. Now I see that I must. Thanks for showing us around in there. That was some smile!
This store reminds me of an amazing Army Navy store in NJ that I used to go to several times a year. It was called "Harry's Army Navy." Unfortunately, it closed in late 2018 after being in business for seventy years😞 I miss the old days of going to a physical brick&mortar knife store because it was an experience, and I didn't mind paying more than you would from an online knife retailer because you were guaranteed to get a perfect knife every time. It's like going to Block Busters back in the day to rent a movie or video game, it was just a different time😢
I've actually bought a few knives from him that nobody else had years after they've been discontinued & his shop is actually bookmarked on my computer. Thanks for the tour!
Holy crap dude, how did your head not explode being in the middle of all those knives? That place is amazing! I loved it and found a new source for GEC knives. Thanks so much!
In these kinds of places you can often find some discontinued collectible knives like wenger knives, ideal for collectors who are looking for the hard to find. When I pass by places like these I always have to stop by
Holy smokes! That place is awesome 💯……. It had me at the creaking door and KILLED me with the giant Victorinox display and GEC’s in stock. Such a cool place ‼️🔥
I live in the UK England. Most of the knives you looked at are now just been made illegal to even have in your home. With a possible 2 years in jail even if you're Owned them for years. Enjoy... I would like one of the cold steel espadas..
Cutlerylovers childhood knife dream store. Its been a minute annnnd its gonna BE a minute, know what I'm sayin? WOW! This place always has been SMKW for me in the South and I remember when they weren't much bigger than this really... I had to learn to know exactly what I wanted before I went in, get it and get out or I would starve the people I was with to death looking all day. ALL that stuff you used to ONLY see in magazines...Im happy for you guys...glad you had a great trip Jeff
Looks great. There's a knife store on the way to Great Smoky Mountain National Park maybe an hour from home that claims to be either the country's or world's largest. I must go there sometime.
I can't imagine walking into a store like that as a kid. Closest thing was the case full of cheap knives at the flea market and even that was awesome at the time 😂 Very cool store!
They have a lot tied up in inventory plus the overhead for the shop. So you’re paying for the merchandise plus the convenience of it all in one location for comparison. All in all a darn good deal.
My favorite store in Lancaster. I squirrel away cash then go in and splurge. It’s about 40 minutes from my house because I have to drive through Lancaster to get there. Totally worth dealing with the tourists!
Thanks. We have nothing like that here in the Northwest. There is one nice knife store at the Pikes Street Market in Seattle and one in the stadium district of Tacoma, but nothing as beautiful as Country Knives. 🎸🔪
Most knife sales in the UK are as an add-on to a camping store, perhaps a shooting and fishing store.... But congratulations sir, you have found yourself a genuine 100% knife store.
I imagine if Heaven has a knife store It’d look like this one. Wish I was closer. Going to look online now. You should have a cutlery lover code for them
what a cool shop. they should consider working with Spyderco on a sprint run/blade steel exclusive deal, Kinda like St Nicks with the 4V or Knifejoy and 20cv. They almost always sell out within a few hours
It’s a pretty cool store. Would love to check it out in person sometime. Unfortunately, the prices on a lot of the knives are really steep and marked up. A lot of them I can get much cheaper online at SMKW, Atlantic Knife, etc.
Very cool Jeff ! I bet you were giddy going back there after so long. It's cool to do nostalgic stuff especially if your girl shares the same interest and y'all can do it together like y'all do. I wish I had a big shop like that around my area. I know we can just go online but a lot of stuff I want is discontinued and many times as you know you can find them in those mom and pop shops. Plus I'd rather go on person to look and buy things and give my business to those places instead. I rarely look online to buy things but I'm funny like that and try to stick to my guns about that stuff. But anyway yea, I'm happy for y'all that y'all are getting away for a minute and hopefully distressing some after hectic changes y'all are going thru. I'll quit yappin' now. Hello to Christina. Talk to ya later friend. -Dustin C. 🐍🇺🇲
Awesome video! Love stores like this. I checked out their website because I noticed a couple of hard to get items. Sypderco at MSRP?! Yikes. I didn't check any others, but dang.
So cool used to watch your videos back when I was 12-13, I’m 23 now.
I'm a bit older, but have been watching for a long time too. Jeff's is the only knife channel i've never unsubbed from or just stopped watching. He is the OG, even has a song written about him!
Beautiful store. They spared no expense with those showcases. A really well done presentation.
Great to see a real store surviving in this day and age. Knife paradise!
What's amazing is how clean and well maintained every individual item is. That's some serious pride in ownership! Thank you for sharing!
Those type of stores are becoming so rare it needs to be on the list of historic places. When they’re gone, a piece of our country’s , soul is gone.
Absolutely love this store. Nice job on this video.
I'm not really a knife guy but that store is sweet. Glad it's still running after all this time.
100% in agreement. I live on the other end of Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh area) and am not really into knives but I would love to visit this establishment the next time I visit my Penn State buddies near Philadelphia.
Knife nostalgia at its finest
You have to check out Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, TN.
Hey Jeff. Long time viewer here. I think this is the happiest I have ever seen you in a video! LOL. That is so awesome you could go back and its the same. It didn't look that much from the outside but wow what a selection. Have a great day
This made me proud to be a Pennsylvanian
Lmao
Well as dysfunctional and crooked as that Commonwealth is I guess you have to have something to be proud of.
i would come to this story every time i would visit my dad in lancaster county, always had such a great time looking at all the knives as a kid.
I went to that store years ago with my dad. We were driving by and saw it and had to stop in. Great place with nice people.
If I’m ever in 100 mile radius I’ll make a point of stopping ! Thanks for the tour n heads up on this cool store.
That store is crazy. And it looks like it’s in a pretty rural area which makes it even more deceptive.

If I got to walk into to a store like that when I was a kid, I'd probably start crying from overwhelming joy.
Looks like a great store! Awesome
From the outside I was like yea right... When you went in... WOW... Just unbelievable.... This is a True Hidden GEM of a shop....
You should plan a vacation to Sevierville Tennessee and go to Smoky mountain knife works. If you've never been you will be in blade heaven.
At the 2:14 mark, I see a serrated and non serrated Spyderco UKPK in magnacut, and an LC200N💯🔥 The magnacut and LC200N UKPK make incredible lightweight hot summertime carry knives👍
Your face says it all. Looking forward to seeing what you purchased.
It’s definitely a great store. They have so much variety of knives and sharpening equipment and gear. I try to get to the store at least once a year if I can. Thanks for sharing Jeff
Spectacular🎉🎉🎉

Very knowledgeable helpful staff! They don't talk down to customers who know little, ask how I know!
I felt the same way at Smokey Mountain Knife Works.
Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful bit of living nostalgia.
Very cool tour! Looks like an awesome store. Thanks for presenting this. Probably going to put this on a Fall roadtrip list.
Damn, for some reason I pictured a much smaller building. Then it just kept going and going and going. Would love to check this place out someday!
Wait till you see the prices!!!😂
I've actually bought a few knives from him that nobody else had years after they've been discontinued & his shop is actually bookmarked on my computer. Thanks for the tour!
Wish I had access to this store all my life 😭
Cheers to you and any other gets exited watching this 🍻🔪
Holy crap dude, how did your head not explode being in the middle of all those knives? That place is amazing! I loved it and found a new source for GEC knives. Thanks so much!

Wow i LOVE that store!
I was there years ago ,bought a ZT and still have it
Holy smokes! That place is awesome 💯……. It had me at the creaking door and KILLED me with the giant Victorinox display and GEC’s in stock.
Such a cool place ‼️🔥
I could easily get lost in there for a whole day. Didn't even know that was there and I lived here my whole life.
Wow I personally have never been in such a well stocked and nice Knife store. Really Impressive
I live in the UK England. Most of the knives you looked at are now just been made illegal to even have in your home. With a possible 2 years in jail even if you're Owned them for years. Enjoy... I would like one of the cold steel espadas..
What's going on is wild. I have to travel to the UK for work sometimes so I'll just say, I strongly prefer the US of A.
Wow excellent Display!
Been waiting for this video!
Hoping you’ll share what you bought!
Thanks for sharing, a definite bucket list item!
Muchas gracias.
Sure, nice clip for collectors.
That is a nice store, i’ve been there. The problem is you’re going to pay full retail prices and then some. At least last time i was there
Looks amazing. Might just have to plan a vacation.
I absolutely love that store. Was going to make a visit this week
I was in that store about 25 years ago
My goodness, that is one awesome place!
I bought a buck knife, big sky fixed blade there in 03. it was a nice shop then. Now i have to go back after watching the video. Thx
Where is this store? Are their prices reasonable?
Cutlerylovers childhood knife dream store. Its been a minute annnnd its gonna BE a minute, know what I'm sayin? WOW!

HOLY SH*T. Jeff I was going to reccomend stopping by this store when you were in lancaster, I'm in harrisburg and always wanted to visit. This is sick
Best store ever!
Great video. I'm only 53 minutes from the store. Definitely worth a road trip when they're open
wow! cutlery heaven!
Looks great. There's a knife store on the way to Great Smoky Mountain National Park maybe an hour from home that claims to be either the country's or world's largest. I must go there sometime.
I live in Scotland - looks like it would be worth my making the trip to this shop!
Went there about 4 years ago when I went to Bird-In-Hand for a vacation.
I can't imagine walking into a store like that as a kid. Closest thing was the case full of cheap knives at the flea market and even that was awesome at the time 😂 Very cool store!
I love your channel, always have. Also really respect you for always keeping your head up! Bravo Zulu my friend
Wow what a fantastic place.
Definitely on the pricey side.
They have a lot tied up in inventory plus the overhead for the shop. So you’re paying for the merchandise plus the convenience of it all in one location for comparison. All in all a darn good deal.
its just like you described it. so cool to see all that in one place. i want to spend 2 hours in there myself! haha. the displays were done so well.
Thanks Jeff great video
Thats a thing of beauty
Wow, I was not expecting that from the outside!
Country Knives is the greatest cutlery store in the United States!
holy cow! that's a beautyful place to be 😊
greetings from cologne, germany

My favorite store in Lancaster. I squirrel away cash then go in and splurge. It’s about 40 minutes from my house because I have to drive through Lancaster to get there. Totally worth dealing with the tourists!
This store is my happy place 😊
That’s an awesome store!
Pretty impressive thank you for sharing!👍🍻

Wow that is a cool store!! Impressive 👍
Jeff thanks for this awesome video! Checking out their website right now
Great video dude !
thats a really nice store you show there jeff, thanks for the video man😂
That watch band is the real hero 5:36
I imagine if Heaven has a knife store It’d look like this one. Wish I was closer. Going to look online now. You should have a cutlery lover code for them
I went there a couple years ago. They really have a great selection but they're also laughably overpriced.
I love that store! I just wish their prices were competitive.
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like a kid in a sweetshop
what a cool shop. they should consider working with Spyderco on a sprint run/blade steel exclusive deal, Kinda like St Nicks with the 4V or Knifejoy and 20cv. They almost always sell out within a few hours
I was just there on Saturday!
Thats a very cool Store!!
It’s a pretty cool store. Would love to check it out in person sometime. Unfortunately, the prices on a lot of the knives are really steep and marked up. A lot of them I can get much cheaper online at SMKW, Atlantic Knife, etc.
I'm the guy at Fin Feather, 15 mins at gun counter, 45 mins at knife counter!!!😂
Wow, that could be a vacation destination, better than 6 Flags. I will just have to convince my wife.
go for the amish stuff sta for the knives lol she would ave a blast with all the other stuff to do or see in the county...
So what did you end up buying? My last happy purchase was a Spyderco Para Military 2 in all black.
Very cool Jeff ! I bet you were giddy going back there after so long. It's cool to do nostalgic stuff especially if your girl shares the same interest and y'all can do it together like y'all do.

You have to go to Smokey mountain knife works if you’re ever in tn
Cool place old friend! Slow the camera down I could barely see what was flashing by. LOL
What did you end up buying, Jeff? We want to know! 😀
not what I expected lol but im happy with it :) n o one would ever guess either
Just outside of INTERCOURSE, PA
Awesome video! Love stores like this. I checked out their website because I noticed a couple of hard to get items. Sypderco at MSRP?! Yikes. I didn't check any others, but dang.
