horrible customer service

used to shop at smkw for a few years and everything was good until it wasn't...ordered a knife and their courier delivered at a wrong address...close by but not the right addy...called their cs line to address the issue...even though the fault was with the courier their "manager" took it personal and started to attack me for reporting this issue...extremely unprofessional...for a company claiming to be a family run affair and valuing repeat buyers this was the last straw...they may have some nice selections but on the other hand the service we got from their 'manager' is garbage...not recommended

Reliable and Trustworthy Retailer

I've purchased several items from this company both in person and online and I've been very happy with my experience. They're one of the oldest and most reliable online knife retailers. They do sell cheap knives and don't apologize for it, but you should always be aware of what you're buying. I've bought several mid to high range knives and been satisfied.

The return process probably needs to be updated, but my experience was good there as well.
