These people are awesome! If you dont want to bother with souvenir shops filled with Chinese garbage, come here! Almost everything in there is locally made in the area. I ended up buying a few more things than I had planned. Angel will also assist any out of towners by suggesting local attractions and businesses. I think I ended up talking to her for about an hour. Anyone visiting needs to check this place out!!
Loved the shop. Lots of Alaska themed gifts for those looking for something unique. Knife shop has many tools available to make your own knife. Mark and his wife were very welcoming and knowledgeable. Great people, great shop.
Well made knives, beautiful braided rugs, unique Alaskan gifts…a fun store.
This is a super cool place that nobody talks about. We luckily ran across a flyer at the tourist center.
Great products and awesome prices. Friendly and very helpful
If youre not already shopping here, you are making huge mistake. Excellent service, wonderful and knowledge staff, and products from many local artisans.P.S. - The only place Ill take my tools/knives to be sharpened. They will take excellent care of you, I guarantee it.
Absolutely a delight to work with and run ideas by. Very personable and Extremely knowledgeable about the craft that they are so deeply passionate about! Ill be returning often and telling others about one of Fairbanks Gems.. Huge Thanks !
Some unique local items which is exactly what I was looking for. Incredibly friendly and willing to tell you about all the items they have. Very deceiving from the front, there are a lot of things to browse through in there! Got some pretty neat gifts to bring back to Massachusetts!
Great local shop. Super nice people
Great people in an awesome store! The were able to fix a handle on a hatchet that belonged to my father for years. Fantastic place for knife blanks and handle supplies. Its like walking into a museum with so much to see and explore! Highly recommend a visit, just to see the displays, but youll want to buy something. Very high quality materials.
Very Alaskan place. Great people!
I bought their custom ulu here, its really beautiful and different. They are so friendly here and will take the time to explain anything. Wish I found this place sooner 🤩
Very nice people and beautiful knives along with collectibles and gifts, definitely a good stop in fairbanks
Amazing place with a great selection of more than just knives. Lots of fossils from the area, furs, wood blocks for handles or wood working. Two black labs that greet you at the door with plush toys.🐶 Angel can answer all your questions about anything in the shop. But the obvious draw is Marks knives.
Great shop with really really nice Alaskan handmade gifts.
Great shop .. Really enjoyed seeing all and hearing the great vast knowledge you guys have.
Great products, great service!
I did not actually see any custom knives. I purchased a display. But wow on customer service. Top notch people. I will go back and look as soon as I am able!
Great service and sharp knives! Lots of knife building supplies and unique Alaskan gifts.
Amazing little store with some really cool artifacts. The knives they make are top notch! Was in awe the entire time. Also they had a ton of DIY stuff for people who want to make thier own knives. It was way cool to see all the specialty woods and blade blanks!
The mans a legend for a reason.
Stopped in to check out their ulu knives and were wowed by the selection of carefully curated local craft work and unique artifacts! From hand carved bone and antler items to fossils, hand crafted soaps, jewelry and more, we found the shop fascinating. Mrs. Knapf, who was incredibly gracious, allowed us to shop and freely touch the many pelts, furs and antlers. There was none of the stuffy look but dont touch that you find in many antique and artifact shops. Instead, she encouraged questions and spent time ensuring we knew the best places around town and what to do on our way to Chena Hot Springs.All in all a great place to shop, visit and chat with friendly locals! Highly recommend!
Amazing, beautiful hand forged knives. Great staff! Learned so much about cutting and finishing different Alaska native materials. And they ship!!!
Awesome cool people to work with! Sold me a knife blank. I think it turned out GREAT!
Can not even begin to say enough positive things about this place. Real people acting like real humans. Friendly, cordial and never did I fell like I was not worthy of being in the store because I was not buying an expensive knife.
I loved this place! Fantastic items, great meeting Angel and Mark
Great folks with a unique shop and a friendly atmosphere.
Very friendly! Unique store.
Very interesting. Great place!
Solid home made knives worth the price
Friendly staff and extra sweet Lab!
Bought a knife and ordered another. Good people.
Master bladesmith... the best...
A little bit of everything, sawblades to sandpaper, resharpening service, knife making supplies, fossils, fur, art.
Awesome place!
