They have a good selection of used and new equipment ranging from combat boots to tactical flashlights. While you're there don't be afraid or intimidated to ask for help as everyone I've encountered there is friendly and helpful (despite their strong-man appearances). On nice days they have their yard open to the public; check that out if you want to look at some vintage gear and shelters. Don't forget to look at the back (really the side) store room for more goodies like packs, sleeping bags, MRE and even military bikes (very neat!). They've recently organized the store to make it flow much better so I'm quite happy about that. In the past you'd be knocking over clothing piles or running into boots on the ground, no more of that. It's not only a place to go if you need something. If you're ever in Inglewood and want to pass the time this would be a great place for that. If I were still single I would totally bring someone here on a first date, just imagine the conversation pieces!

Yes you are busy, but people want to purchase from you and make you money dude! The least you can do is be kind and considerate. If you want to be treated poorly, go there and try to ask a question or two, you'll be shut down like the back gate.

What a great online find! This small shop in Calgary has a nice selection of knives and EDC /…read moresurvival gear. Many of their products are listed for less than larger online *Canadian* retailers, depending on model. Sidenote: It's still hard to beat U.S. prices (as online shoppers up here know), but due to the somewhat recent border law changes regarding assisted / manual opening knives (I have strong opinions about that, which I will not get into here), many of the cutlery retailers in the States have ceased cross-border shipping. So for the majority of us law-abiding residents, we need to purchase these items solely through Canadian retailers. I'm all for supporting local businesses but not a fan of being forced to do so... more options are always good for consumers. Anyway, Target Knives miraculously had a discontinued multi-tool that I was looking for (one left in stock), which was quite amazing since the model has been discontinued for several years now. I seriously think I purchased the last one in Canada, at least online! My order arrived quickly and was packaged securely. I didn't receive any email confirmation / tracking info after ordering, which I attributed to the online e-commerce system for a small store. Hopefully this is something they will start doing once their online sales become more frequent. From their online selection (haven't visited the store yet), it appears Target Knives's purpose is aimed toward daily-use EDC / survival gear. Don't expect to find high-end or ultra-custom cutlery online here (Benchmade is probably the highest brand they carry online, which is definitely quite good), but for mid-range and below, Target Knives has a good spread for a small shop. You might find some hard-to-locate gems such as the multi-tool I purchased... and as mentioned, great prices on many of their products. Honestly, dependable mid-range gear is better for EDC anyway IMHO since I hate messing up super expensive gear during daily tasks. But hey, if you've got the money for it, more power to you. It looks like from other reviewers that Target Knives also carries some eclectic products in store, such as swords and fantasy collector items. I didn't see these online, but there are displays of them shown in the store photos. Pretty cool... I will definitely be stopping by during my next Calgary trip to check this place out!

There is tons of stock, he had three of the tool I wanted! Very eclectic little shop, and the owner is very helpful and knowledgable. Canada needs more of these home grown mom and pop shops. And literally everything I browsed while there was well below any discounted prices I saw online. Even Amazon!
