Also a huge fan of Emerson Knives. The Emersons... Mary, Ernie, Megan, and the rest of the staff…read moreare wonderful, wonderful people. They're pretty much rock stars in the custom and tactical knife world, but they are very down to earth and treat every customer with dignity, respect, and give you the benefit of the doubt. Their production line is fantastic... I have many friends with Emerson Knives and I've enjoyed trying out each and every one of them. Their custom line is just a step above the rest. Difficult to acquire, a closed order book, requires you to sign up for lotteries and shows in the hopes that you acquire one at the reasonable table price of between $650-$850. Otherwise, you will be paying a premium from a third party dealer of between $900 to $3000 depending on the knife in question. In fact for some of the rarer customs the prices will skyrocket beyond that upper limit I just mentioned. One day I will win a lottery custom...and I will be ecstatic. =)

5 Stars for the CQC 15 knife, 0 stars for customer service. To obtain the answer to a very simple…read morequestion I used the contact form on their website. 2 weeks later, zero response. I the called and spoke with a young lady who apparently knew absolutely nothing about anything. She was not unfriendly or hostile, just totally clueless. I requested that she have somebody at Emerson contact me with an answer to my question. After 2 more weeks, still zero response. So, I have to ask - why does Emerson even claim to have a customer service section? It is completely useless and a waste of time. As stated, I like my CQC 15 but, based on this experience, will make no future purchases from Emerson. There are too many other quality knife makers who actually value their customers for me to do so.

Doing business with SoCal Armory has been a great experience! The entire process was quick, easy,…read moredetailed, and clearly focused on safety. Being my first time, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but the service and experience have been nothing less than exceptional.

Great service, great experience, and I will absolutely be coming back in the future. Highly recommend!

I'll definitely keep this one in mind the next time I need sporting goods.

He's polite, helpful, and supportive and he really helped me learn very helpful safe handling and technique. Honestly the value of the class was very worth it for the knowledge I gained and the practice and training I received. I would definitely recommend this business if you are looking to learn real life applications of your training and not just read a book.

Course taken: Beginner Pistol Training Course…read more Summary: 2-day course. First day was in the office where topics were covered via PowerPoint presentation and Pete allowed us to do dry firing with airsoft guns. Second day was at the range for about 1.5hr where he taught us safe operation (i.e. grip, stance, aiming, accuracy, loading, unloading). Special remarks: Pete's dedication to gun safety and safe gun operation is apparent in the way he teaches. He is passionate about safety and an enthusiastic teacher which made the class fun. One of his most valuable strengths is that he was able to teach in a way that I could understand. (Side note: I am afraid of guns but took this class to combat that fear!) Pete was able to keep the class engaged, provided constructive feedback, and attention to detail. With his guidance and support, I was able to see a significant improvement in my grouping and decrease my fear of guns overall. Also, I made new friends in the class :) **I will be returning for other classes. Definitely recommend.

So if you need anything, from a hitch to a Rack tent decked drawer system, bike rack, Spokbox "that's what I call those black storage boxes on top of vehicles.

My over all experience with customer service has been pretty poor …read more At the cost of these products , you had hoped that they would continue to offer the same customer service that they provide when purchasing . I would also like to point out that their lifetime warranty doesn't include damage done from defective product . They also won't advocate for you on behalf to the companies . This is the type of customer service I expect out of a major corporation , not a small store. So if you're looking for the type of customer service and support, you can expect from a small business , I would recommend looking elsewhere . Yakima on the other hand has been great to work with, they back up their product , and have great customer service. I recommend buying products directly from the manufacturer .

Unless you're a usual customer, they don't have time to talk to you or help find the right product. We were spending quite a bit of money. It felt like I was wasting the owner's time, he didn't want to talk to us until he saw that we put everything back and were leaving empty-handed! The boys were bummed, and it left a bad impression. Instead of building a future with new fishermen, they'd rather buy online and cut out the real-life connection! Anywhere friendly and knowledgeable that's close by please let me know?
