Quinn Knives

Great shop with excellent selection of USA made knives. They don’t make em like this shop anymore with knowledgeable owner!

Happened in here while exploring the town with my girlfriend, and I must say I was impressed. They have a large selection of knives and know their product well. They took the time to help me chose the right Benchmade knife and tighten up a loose thumb stud on my girlfriends Buck folder. Much if not most of their inventory is USA made, and they were enthusiastic when I asked their thoughts on US vs Chinese product. Their military discount was also greatly appreciated. If you’re in the area and have a few minutes, this is the place to go.

What a wonderful shop! The lady who owns the shop is so pleasant. I could talk to her for hours. She always takes the time to explain the pros and cons of various knifes. She also shares interesting stories regarding the history of various knife manufacturers or knife models. I always stop in her shop each time that I ride my Harley to Julian. I buy a knife during each visit — not because I particularly wanted another knife, but because she makes the experience so interesting. I highly recommend that you experience it for yourself.

The store is run by a very nice guy who really knows his knives. While my wife was looking in the gift and candy stores I excused myself to shop in the type of store I want to hang out in. While the owner was answering questions for another shopper I was taking in all the sights and compiling a mental shopping list.
When it was my turn (I don’t like to rush people, especially in a nice, easy going shop like this in a small town.) I asked about a couple of Swiss Army knives (Victorinox) because I needed to replace one I had worn out. I expected the prices to be high, but I was so wrong! His prices were very competitive and I feel like a got a good deal. It’s better to hold something in your hand and have an expert tell you about it rather than save 2 more dollars buying online.
I bought a knife and I also got schooled in the Martiini knives from Finland. Great! Nice handles and sheaths, too. The prices were fair since I know how well the steel holds a sharp edge. I will be back.

I absolutely enjoyed speaking with the wonderful lady at this store. She was extremely kind and was very informative on the knife quality! :) Whenever I make a trip back to Julian, I will make sure to always buy something from here!

Great little knife store, and a good reason for the ride out to Julian, as if the ride wasn’t enough. Pretty good selection of mostly production blades as well as some nice custom work by locals. I picked up a JM knife friction folder for what I think was a smoking great deal. The person I talked with was very knowledgeable and took time to check her memory on the steel and handle materials. Head on up, it’s worth it!

I stumbled into Quinn Knives a few years ago when a motorcycle ride brought me to Julian for the first time.
The tiny shop is always busy and sometimes you have to wait for your chance to look at the case. There selection is always great.
I have purchased 5 beautiful knives there, one for myself and four as gifts.
Going back to Julian this Sunday on another ride. Going to have some pie and check out all the cool shops. I might even buy a knife or two at Quinn Knives.

great place for knives. and thats it.
