    Howe's, New Graham, Knifeworks, Cutlery Shoppe are all rock solid in my extensive personal experience--at least a dozen purchases from each. I have more limited experience with Bento Box and Spydercovt, but positive so far.

    Howes is by-far my favorite shop. They answer questions quickly and courteously, they have an excellent pre-order system, and they have good prices and free shipping. Jim makes it so easy to drain thousands of dollars. Absolutely the best!

    I have ordered once and it was painless and easy. Would definitely order again.

    I like the way they do business. The couple knives I've received and the pre-orders in the holding pattern have all gone very well. I'll be doing business with them again in the future.

    Highly recommended!

    Jim is great to work with.

    I like their website, especially their photographs.

    I have purchased 11 Spyderco knives from Jim Howe (3 pre-orders in) with outstanding prices and service, free shipping and outstanding packaging. Great communication, I have had emails with Jim that were more like texting! I live in Michigan and have to pay the sales tax, but it is more than worth it to me to support a great dealer. He always goes the extra mile. He often has great sales on other items as well. I recently picked up a Maxpedition Pack for a great price. I also learned about Howe's on this forum and glad I did!

    Another happy customer here. I have purchased many knives from Jim and Barbara and each time was a great experience. Lightning fast shipping, great communications through email. I have talked to him on the phone a few times as well and he seems like a real genuine good guy. There are other great sites but Howes is right at the top.

    I buy as much as I can from Jim which are most of my Knives. Fastest Shipping ever. Answers emails anytime even when hes not at work. Jim gets knives before anyone else. He is my #1 Spyderco shop! There are other great places as well and some have already been mentioned. As long as I do not order too late; all my orders ship the same day and only take 2 days From Michigan to Colorado
