Whenever I make it through Manitou Springs, I make it a point to visit this shop and see what's new in stock plus take a gander at some old favorites. The kind folks there always greet every customer individually and are curious of where everyone is from. They're helpful but not in your face, letting you take your time and are right there should you have questions. I usually go for the knives and knife-making materials; they're pricey compared to what you can find online, but you can see and handle exactly what you're getting and not be at the mercy of a knife-supplier's shipping department. Great materials and resources are there as well for other projects, and if nothing else visit for the store ambience and smell of old leather!
