You know when you’re super excited to visit somewhere and you get that excited butterfly feeling in your stomach? Well, when that happens to me, it makes me poop. I would definitely poop in this store’s restroom.
We have several so take your pick, not the floor please
You’re just like my black lab.
This is the greatest comment I’ve seen! Hilarious. I would totally too!
😆😆😆
😆😆😆
Shout out to the cleaning lady!!! Your a very important part as to why that place looks and stays the way it does. God bless you!
have an awesome team here and the housekeeping staff is A1!
@@SMKWcomI visited here today and I am completely obsessed with the in house animatronic band. What year were they installed? Also can you ask the maintenance department to fix Buckshot’s mouth? Good job on fixing the lightbulb above Ricochet’s head
This is the equivalent of when you went to Toys R Us as a kid for the first time.
@@Errcyco I went there not long ago. The place is huge. It’s much bigger than it looks outside. Plan on spending at least half the day to really check it out seriously.
suggestd a contest 2 win a visit to Store 4 Us $$challanged Po Folk pls share it TY
For me it was Lionel Playworld, but yeah, I can imagine visiting SMKW would be very similar.
Well, I kicked and screamed like a 3 year old when my wife told me, it is time to go!! 😭
I had the pleasure of visiting the store a couple of years ago when I was out camping in Great Smoky Mountains. It was amazing, I was there for hours trying out knives that I can only see in pictures online. I left with a ridiculous amount of knives and a big grin on my face.
It cost me about $1,000 to get out of the store with a big smile on my face! I am going again!
Not to long ago I went to great smoky mountains! (Still here just on the way home) and we got my first knife there!
❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This store is mind-bending in person. I brought all my grandkids and let them pick out some knives. It was an experience I'll never forget. So much fun. Thanks for being there.
Thanks for letting us be part of your family trip
To me, this is what heaven looks like.
Well then come spend eternity with us! :)
My thoughts exactly. Lol
or hell because it tempts you to buy it all but you know you can't :P
Vallhalla
Them Cold Steels is where it's at
This guys walking around with a confident swagger knowing full well he's in one awesome store. Wish we had something even close to this in the UK.
Thank you, and yes he is in one awesome place!
It is an awesome store, you’ll have to make a trip across the pond to see us!
I will definitely be paying you a visit. Thankyou and all the very best.
I lived in the UK for a few years. Beautiful country. Freedom died there a long time ago.
I would've been so excited, been like ok dude out of my way, I'll find everything! Lol
Thank God I live in Canada. If that store was anywhere near me, l'd be broke 🤦♂️
I'm gonna need to take a 2 week vacation just to visit one store!! 🗡⚔🗡⚔ SMKW is like the Smithsonian of knives.
That is right, most don't realize that its more than just a store with things for sale, it really is a museum spanning the history of human ingenuity!
I have always wanted to see a good tour of the store. I would need 3 days just to check everything out. SMKW is such an epic place. Great job TC and Isaac.
Thank you and yes, if you want to see everything it will take a while!
pls 2nd my idea 4 contest 2c win atrip maybe it will catch on & they will do it !! hopefully
We came here last year when we were staying in the area and I brought my wife and two children there and was expecting them to want to leave after about an hour, but we ended up staying for three hours because of all of the amazing historical artifacts they have.
This is probably the coolest store I have ever been to in my life!
Staff is top notch!
We’ll be staying in the area next month and we’re DEFINITELY coming back!
the “old knife section” is amazing. love seeing knives that have been worn
Thank you, we love it too!
I love how in the kids section there is a display of shanks and a guy getting the electric chair🤣🤣
Everything a growin boy needs..
Right next to the full size cap rifles, like it should be.
I'm glad someone said this, LOL
I hit SMKW at least once, when we vacation in Gatlinberg.
It takes me about three hours to see everything that interests me.
My wife drops me off, and hits 3-4 wineries, and picks me up later in the day.
Sounds like a solid plan!
I'd have to have a glass of wine after visiting this store, just to get over the excitement 😀
I've been to SMKW Store four times...and THIS showed me 3 things I didn't know was there. Thank you. I love the place.
Shank section by the Toys section.
That's EXACTLY how I would have designed it too!!!
The hard work SMKW has done really shows here. I live on the other side of the country so I haven’t been able to visit the store, so I really appreciate this video. I had no idea SMKW was such damn fine American establishment. Well done, gentlemen..... well done. Proud to do business with you 🇺🇸💪🏼.
Thank you👍
Damn I need to visit this place but I’d be broke before I got past the benchmade section.
😂
Yeah they have it fixed so that you go broke as soon as you walk in lol!
Such a beautiful place, and one of my favorite memories and destinations. Haven't been there since I was 12yo, and I'm turning 50 this year..but I'm coming back!!! And I'm bringing the next generation when I come.
Thanks for stopping in and we can't wait for the rest of the family to come with you 👍
I live in the piedmont area of North Carolina and SMKW is a 3 hour drive,been making a yearly trip for about 15 years,always something new to look at.great people who know knives and are happy to awnser your questions. If you're a knife nut it's a must see
Thanks for making the trip and seeing us!
What an incredible store. The hard work that goes into curating, maintaining, and staffing this place is just marvelous.
Thanks for watching and if you ever find yourself in East Tennessee please stop by!
Your store is amazing! I never imagined it’d be so huge. Have to come out and visit!
This store is the best store in the smoky mountains
Thanks TC for this video..Stay COOL TC 😎🙏👍
Thanks for stopping in and letting Mike play!
I was in there a few years ago. It is overwhelming. I had a pocket full of money, but I did not know enough about knives at the time.
So I picked up another buck 110. And a copper zippo lighter with an octopus and compass
rose on it. You need at least three hours to check out the store.. great place. Smoky Mountains rock.
Thanks for making us a part of your journey!
Took my son here for his tenth birthday from South Jersey. What was great is that he was able to flick over 100 knives till he settled on a Artisan. You can’t do that anywhere else in the country. I bought a matching larger version and then we got them engraved to commemorate the trip. This is such a cool store and the surrounding area is unbelievably beautiful with tons of stuff to do. Can definitely recommend creating a trip to TN around this store, so worth it!
Thanks for stopping in and sharing this awesome knife story with us👍
That is awesome! When I hit the lottery, I’m going to drop a hundred grand there in an hour or so. Can’t wait to travel there sometime.
Was just here and absolutely loved walking around the place. Its beautiful.
Thank you for letting us be a part of your trip
dudes good at giving tours/speaking, his energy makes me want to spend money and shake his hand
TC is high energy all the time and one of the nicest people we have ever met👍 Thanks for watching!
This store is absolutely amazing! Talk about a dream job.
Awesome tour. It may not cost anything to walk in the door but it would cost plenty once I was in. Lol. I'm coming to visit soon nonetheless.
We understand and we can't wait for your visit!
The paradise!!!!!
I never imagined that this place existed. I will not leave this world if I meet him Greetings from Argentina
Hello Javier! If you ever find yourself in East Tennessee please stop in👍
I'm in Canada right now but when the frontiers re-open,i'll Come see this Amazing place and you Amazing guys that work for it !
Safe travels and look forward to seeing you!
Thank you T.C. for an extended tour, it must be heaven to work there, well except for the working part haha. My goodness you guys have a great shop with everything you can imagine. I'm afraid once in you never wanna leave.
It is pretty awe inspiring and a great experience whether it is working or shopping!
I need to get back up there. It's been a few years. Great tour. Thanks 😊!!
Stop by anytime your are the area Mike!
I visited the store around 1994. CJ Buck was there and I bought a vanguard that he engraved. Pretty neat memory. My best friend and I were on a camping and fishing trip, down from NJ, and spent most of our food money on knives that day.
That is an awesome memory! Thank you for sharing👍
SMKW!! 🤘 I live less than 30 minutes away, been there at least a dozen times, never, ever disappoints! About due for another trip!!
We have events coming up so if you need dates to schedule stuff around
June 8th and 9th Victorinox "Made to be prepared" Event

This is my modern Disney World! My first visit I drove almost 2 hours to be able to visit for just 45 minutes... it was all the time I had. Can't wait to visit again, I'll probably be there all day!
I drove for two days! =)
Hell my drive is 5 hrs and I was there for an hr
@@evanupchurch6116 mine was a solid 2 days and I was only there for 45 minutes
@@RockyMountainBlades Well that probably sucked after I went across the street to buds guns it awesome there as well
@@evanupchurch6116 it wasn’t too bad. We were passing through and had to go.
Okay, now I have to book a trip.....Anyone ready to go??!! Thanks for the tour!!
Zach, we are here and waiting on you friend!
Just an incredible store. I wish we lived closer!
I think I spotted a single cut in the entire 27 minute video, without any screwups on the videographer's part. That's some serious skills. It takes me 4 takes to finish a sentence on my own channel. Very impressive.
Thank you!
Goodness, I wish that I lived nearby. I’d drop in every weekend! ⚔️😁
If you are ever in the area please stop by!
My retirement plan just changed. I'm moving to Tennessee!
Been here twice and will be back in a few months..ABSOLUTELY AWESOME
Thanks for stopping in👍
Kamdo Joe or Commander Joe..
Great tour Sir! Expect to spend many hours in this awesome museum!! Days would be more like it!! I Love SMKW! Thank you all for making this the number one knife store etc. 🙏 ❤
Now with BBQ grip!
This is amazing! I respect people who are able to do such projects.
Thanks for watching!
WOW.....I would be like a kid in a toy store there....it’s beautiful 🤩 I will have to visit someday 🙌
Hope you get to stop by soon!
Best video. Doing this with closed doors, no noisy customers, overhead announcements, so called " music", etc. Well done...
It's about the only time we can do it, we stay pretty busy! Thanks for watching! 😁
My first visit to your store was in 2005. My most recent was 12/2020. I’ve been there several times in between and there are areas of it I had never seen until now! Thanks so much for the great video.
We still find new things everyday, and that's why you always have to come back!
Where is this?!? I wanna go so bad!!!!!
Oh man !!! I could spend a week in that store just looking at the museum displays !! I would likely lose self control and buy way more traditional folding knives than I could actually use ....
Im in Tennessee next month and have made this place a must stop when going to Pigeon Forge! Im so excitedd to finally see this place in person!!
Can't wait for you to stop by!
I go to this place once or twice a year and have been doing so for 30 years. I can still spend most of the day here. There is also a great tool store across the street.
Thanks for always stopping by!
As a knife enthusiast I can say that being in here feels like a dream
if you ever find yourself in East Tennessee please stop in and see us
Was just there a couple days ago👌
Yay! I’m so glad I can see the store!
I’ve ordered many knives from SMKW. I knew there was a physical store, but oh my god…. I need to make a pilgrimage to this cutlery Mecca. This is on my bucket list.
You absolutely do, it is a sight to behold that you can't really understand unless you experience it for yourself!
Whenever I visit Tennessee smkw is a staple of the trip me and my family love it there. It is an amazing place to be.
Thanks for stopping in! We love when families make us a part of their vacation
Wow!! Beautiful!! I have to make it there some day!! 👍
Please do!
Holy crap, I wish there was a place like this near me. I'll have to stop by whenever I'm in the area. I can see me perusing around the store for hours 😅
Please stop in! We get new things in daily👍
Amazing . Never heard of SMKW until a week ago . A video popped up on line . I'm speechless about this store . To bad I'm so far away .
Thanks for watching Wayne! If you ever find yourself near by we hope you will stop in and see us
I was drooling all the way through the video
Thanks for watching!
To paraphrase Hank Jr. If heaven ain't a lot like SMKW then I don't wanna go.
Knife shopping HEAVEN!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour TC...I visited with my dear friend Dr Troy Dailey, who lived there in Sevierville. He had to show me the coolest store around, and he was right. This tour was a reminder, and much has changed since my visit about 4 years ago. Thanks again. I am an influencer and tell everyone I can about your store. God Bless You!
We walk the floor every day before opening because so much changes daily!
Just happened on this video, so glad you posted it. Did not know of you, now I do and am planning to shop on line soon. Thanks for this video.
Thank you so much! If there’s ever any questions you have don’t hesitate to ask!
It’s nice seeing Danny Masterson giving up Hollywood for knives now
Damn I needed a butter knife.
The only thing missing is a room I could rent so I could spend everyday there! 😀 very nicely done.
We don't offer overnight stays...yet🤣
I’d spend a week just visiting and wouldn’t be satisfied with looking over everything. That means two weeks! I definitely will visit someday. Much love from Pennsylvania brother.
Thanks for watching! Stop in any time you find yourself in East Tennessee👍
I would love to work there ,You would have to make me leave via exorcism though .Magnificent.
This guy is like the Bob ross of knife videos
I’ll take that as a compliment and gladly will paint happy little knives everywhere I can!
@@TCB2Country122 Good because it most definitely is a compliment I love Bob Ross keep up the amazing work !
Thank you for watching and now we we have T.C. walking around the store saying Hi to all the happy little knives😂
@@SMKWcom Your mighty welcome love the channel and the store I just subscribed to you and T.C. Going to be looking for my son's " Fathers day gift " from him think he may be getting me a Benchmade or Leathermen.
Been here about a dozen times. I always buy a blade before I leave. Best knife store ever.
And great people too. Gifts galore if wanna spend a day looking at everything.Now I may need to get a new blade soon.
Stop by anytime Chris!
Where have you been all my life, this place is heaven.
If you ever find yourself in East Tennessee please stop in and see us
This is an adults Toys R Us ......
Wow! I would need a map to tour the store.
I’m going here tomorrow! And couldn’t be more excited about it.
Hope you have fun!
Mind blown! If I worked there, I'd never bring home any money, just knives. Wonderful video.
We have the same issue here in the media department haha!
What an amazing store! You guys are absolutely loaded to the tits with such a great stock, just awesome! What a top notch, respectable store. The video tour was exciting. Easy to see the amount of love and care put in to all that detail and just the amount of organization through out the store. Top Notch! 👍
Thanks for watching! If you ever find yourself in East Tennessee please stop in and see us👍
I visited this store when I went on vacation one year... it was amazing and had everything anyone could think of if you wanted a knife... I spent hours in the store and although I did buy way more stuff than I planned on getting, I was very happy with what I was able to find 👍👍... all the employees were awesome!!... one knife I bought was a Case Canoe with real stag , and I looked through over 50+ of them to find the exact one I liked... Some asshole stole that knife from me one week after I got home... My vehicle was broken into and I had it in the console still in the box never used... I am still so pissed off about that, and mostly because I know I’ll probably never be able to visit the store again in my life, and plus the amount of time and money I invested in such a great product only to have some asshole steal it from me!!!...
You’re a natural salesman, that’s for sure.
TC has a ton of fun but really loves knives! We are going to have to do a new state of the collection soon on him👍
Is there anyway I can get or buy a book to by knifes fromyou
Paradise on earth exist!! Is this store!! I can't believe it!! Greetings from argentina!!
Thank you!
We go to the pigeon forge area around 3 times a year. My wife hates this place. I on the other hand love it. When it’s busy there, it’s hard to remember what you’re actually there to look at. It can be a little overwhelming in a good way. I actually keep a running list of things on my phone so I don’t forget.
Keeping a running list is a great thing as long as you leave room to add more👍
You should invite the DBK guys here to see what they haven't tested yet.
Good idea!
I've only been to this store one time, 20 years or so sgo. I remember it being big but damn, it's actually huge!
And keep adding more and more!
My favorite store anywhere! We all spend hours in there every time we come. Thanks guys for the great vid!
Thank you! As always we adding even more so we may have to do a update to our store tour already😂
But Wait!! There’s More!
There's always more!
Wanna know what it’s like to live in the store? ⬇️

Man I stopped by and finally checked out your store when I was in the area a month or so ago. My wife was waiting in the car while my daughter and I checked out the place. I thought I won’t be long. Yeah she was unhappy because I was in there about a hour and got lost about 3 times lol. I didn’t realize how much stuff you had like the historical stuff for sale downstairs. I ended up leaving with nothing because they just didn’t have any of the cooler models of spyderco and Benchmade in stock but I’ll be back and maybe I’ll find something next time.Only thing i didn’t see is any Ontario knives and one other brand I can’t think of right now while i was there.
I would absolutely kill to visit. Greetings from Idaho. Just ordered a heretic from you guys in the magnacut. I pray I get to visit some day
I’m paralyzed & in a wheelchair, can you tell me how much of the store I can traverse? I’d enjoy seeing all of it, looks like a fantastic place!
It’s been probably Twenty years since I’ve been there but I’m glad too see they kept the best attractions and added more products for the people to buy!! Let’s go #SMKW
My wife and I travel from West Virginia to the smokies twice a year and this is our first stop, never a disappointment, I'm there at least 3 hours and emerge a few dollars poorer every time, just the way it should be
Thank you and the misses for stopping in each time! Safe travels and see you next trip👍
Was there seven years ago, the entrance changed a little but glad to see business is still rolling, will have to visit when in the state again!
Thank you for stopping and hope you do in the future as well! We have changed quite a bit in 7 years and are adding new inventory daily!
Overload Overload 😄
Yes, very much so! 😂
Do you still sell Utica knives (utk survival)
Not at the moment but we are always adding new things
Not just a store. This is actual heaven.
Wow. The relics from 1800s look cool. I could spend a full day in there
It is very easy to get lost in here and there is always something new/old coming thru the doors!
If you close your eyes it becomes a tour hosted by Matthew McConaughey lol
This has become T.C. favorite comment....
Plot Twist:
He doesn't even work there, but he stayed at a Holiday Inn last night!!!
😂
🤣
I understood that reference.
Thats a good one! Lol!
I'm not from out west but I live here now. No one here knows what that means. Half my jokes are just worthless. 😫
Love that you thought about the kids,
Even though we are the worlds largest knife store we are still family own and operated so we would never leave the kids out
Been here twice on vacation. I can't go into the area without stopping. Best store EVER!!! I rate it 1000/10
Thanks for stopping by! We always have new things coming in so make sure to see what's new next time as well👍
I want to go, but I'd leave broke
It’s good I don’t live anywhere near that store😆
😂 Don't forget you can check out all of our knives and more at SMKW.com
I live 50 minutes from this store, It is my happy place, actually visiting in a few days to pick up more goodies xD
Thanks for stopping in and seeing us!
That is JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!
BELIEVE IT OR NOT I COLLECT KNIVES AND I'M SORRY THAT I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THIS PLACE HOPE TO GET THERE ONE DAY HOPE TO BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH IT WITHOUT SPENDING MY ENTIRE CHECK
I ONLY STARTED COLLECTING A COUPLE YEARS AGO AGAIN DID IT WHEN I WAS A KID THIS WOULD MAKE ME FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN JUST TO BE IN THAT STORE DREAM COME TRUE THANKS FOR THE TOUR I REALLY APPRECIATE IT MAKES THIS OLD MAN GET EXCITED
Thanks for watching!
