I had a great experience coming here. I'm new to knives and had a problem with my Benchmade. Even though I didn't buy the knife there, Greg fixed it for me in about 3 minutes! Then I couldn't help myself and bought a Spyderco PM3! I'm bummed the shop is moving to Florida but I'll still buy from them on line. Thanks to Greg for the great customer service, I'll be a return customer! read more

I've been incredibly neglectful with my knives (both kitchen and pocket), so I dropped by with some in varying conditions looking to get some assistance with sharpening them. The staff was super helpful and they helped fix up all of my knives- they're super sharp and clean now and ready for the kitchen! read more

EDC ..... What a cutting edge store! With so many varieties of knife's, safety stuff, survival items etc. You are sure to find something that will catch your eye. Have a few different areas/rooms that have different items. In one room you may or may not notice the kitty kat lounging around. Very nice and cool kitty. The knifes are not your basic ones at all. These are made with quality and perfection that are sold here. They do have a lot of Cool things that happen throughout the year from sales to demos to even a big summer party/sale/event. They sharpen blades (obviously ;), i bielve they can make keys, engravings and probably more. Just gotta ask them. Rob and Greg are very helpful and very knowledgeable. My son loves to come here and say hi and check out what's new. read more

Came in for their knife sharpening service and the whole process was quick and easy. It only took a few days to be done. I initially called to inquire and the guy (I didn't get the name of the employee) was very accommodating. I believe he's the same guy that's always behind the counter. He was friendly and nice the two times we came in. This place offers different knives and flashlights; extensive variety to choose from. They also have a resident cat, ED, she's super cute and very friendly you can pet her while you're waiting or just because. read more

Had a good experience with EDC in sharpening a small branch cutter. The counter staff was very nice and helpful. The price was less than I thought it would be and on pick up i couldn't be happier. The blade was extremely sharp and on my first use it was better than new. I highly recommend EDC for blade sharping. read more

Very good customer service! One of the Best deals and gave me alot of resources to find a good knife. Overall I recommend this store before any other store because you can trust them with picking a good knife with the style you like. read more

Took my Tom Brown Tracker here when I found out they can sharpen for ya. Long story short: YES, they will sharpen even some of the most annoying knives to sharpen ever. I guess it's not that bad, but that knife ain't exactly straightforward as most of your fixed blades...and he made it seem like it was, what with that expert cleanup and sharpening job he did on that bad boy. BEAUTIFUL edge on my blade now. Thanks! read more

Figured I'd take a nice drive out to see the selection of Medford and other customs. After a 2 hour drive, and 30 bucks in gas they were closed. I arrived within the listed business hours window, but nobody was there. I tried calling, but only received voicemail. read more

Man, I am SO thankful for this business! My son's 10th birthday was on Sunday & I wanted to get a pocket knife engraved for him. It was really short notice & Robert came through for me. He had it engraved in less than one day, charged me a fair price (too low in my opinion for what I asked of him), & my son absolutely LOVED it! I will definitely continue using their services. And he was so kind & helpful to me. Really appreciate them. read more

Unique store, super friendly staff and helpful. Wasn't aware of some of the super premium knife brands they carry which was very interesting to learn about. They also have medical gear which is a nice surprise, as it is often overlooked and not available readily around town. read more

This place is awesome. My wife and I swung by on a Monday to check the place out, and we received outstanding customer service from both employees, one being the owner. I have been chasing down a Chris Reeve Sebenza for sometime now and was hoping to find one there. While the store was out of stock, the owner let me check out his personal collection so that I could see for myself the difference between a small and large CRK Sebenza 21. Afterword I was shown all of the impressive Medford's in stock, and was given a brief description of each one after letting me get a feel for each in the hand. It's not a matter of if I will be back, but when. I've never felt more welcome inside a brick & mortar, and am happy to spend my hard earned money there. P.s. my wife loved hanging out with their cat read more

Awesome! I was pleasantly surprised at finding this store in Rancho Cordova. They have an amazing offering of great knives. I have purchased two of their knives and couldn't be happier. Rob and Greg were a great help and source of information with their fantastic no pressure customer service. Initially I found what I was looking for, that nobody else was carrying and I bought it. After looking over their selection of Medford knives and doing some research, I returned the next day and picked up a beautiful Medford knife. The quality is second to none, rock solid and IMO a great value. I feel very lucky to have picked up such a great find. Thank you EDC. I will definitely be a lifelong customer and look forward to a new friendship! read more

Living in the Sacramento area I was surprised to find a store that sold Medford Knives. I've never handled one in person and so I was curious about the stores inventory and had some questions. I called and spoke to Rob who went above and beyond in assisting me with my questions and even sent me some photos and a video of a few knives I was inquiring about. The wife and I stopped in here the following day and was met with even better customer service from Rob in person. He walked me through some of the intricacies of some of the different models and let me handle as many as I wanted. I definitely recommend stopping by if you're into EDC tools and knives. Medford is probably the most solid folding knives I have handled thus far and I have had my share of high quality custom knives. Ask for Rob! read more

Over the last couple years, I have been surprised and gratified to find rare and coveted knife models in stock, at EDC Specialties! Their stock changes, so you never know what's gonna be on display.....and even though I make knife and EDC purchases from all over the world, I REALLY appreciate how the staff goes the extra mile to ensure that they only source well-engineered products that are made here, in the USA! It's hard to do, as we all know, in this global economy. Support these folks! Can you believe that I actually found 2 Protech Malibu's and a bronzed Runt 5 there, when NONE of the big online dealers had them? I've also used their knife modification services on Balisong, which they are just beginning to carry.... If you're in NorCal, make the drive. read more

First time in the store today. The owner and employee were very helpful and walked us around the whole store and showed us everything. Helped us find the right knives for my girlfriend and I to fit our needs. Would highly recommend to anyone and will be returning for future business read more

I have been calling everywhere looking for a discontinued knife for my father in law for Christmas... without even asking for continued help, Rob took my info down and told me he has avenues that he's going to continue to take for me to try to help track it down. The only store in the are that didn't just say "sorry we don't have it, good luck." No matter what the outcome, the willingness to help me and go the extra mile is amazing! Either way I am grateful and impressed with the customer service! Thank you Rob! read more

This place rocks. Custom ordered some awesome hanks and gotten custom paracord here. Definitely coming back for a swanky ass knife I saw here. Super stoked on the gear. Thanks Guys!!! read more

Excellent service. Great craftsmanship with their modifications and sharpening. Wonderful selection of knives, especially Medfords if you want a pocket axe. read more

Easily the best knife/EDC shop I've been to. The guys running the shop are super knowledgeable, low pressure, and above all NICE. No egos here. Just good dudes selling great products. Skip bass pro, sportsman's, etc if you're looking for a new blade. These guys have more selection, knowledge and passion and deserve the business. Can't wait to go back for my next knife! read more

Friendly staff. Knowledgable. High-end items. Support you local small businesses. You will have a hard time finding another edc shop like this in Sacramento. Check the website as it is updated with excellent pictures of new items often. read more

Fantastic shop, I can't keep myself away! Rob is an expert in every day carry items and is incredibly knowledgeable. They carry top only the best gear, all made in the USA. They have an impressive selection of high quality knives as well as flashlights, pens, tools, med kits, and everything else EDC. They even do a monthly box collection! Can't recommended them enough. read more

Employees were friendly and great prices as well, good range of products that they offer

Been to this store in person, really like the selection and picked myself up a pretty sweet (US made) Flowfold wallet. They have a good inventory of knives and other things that you just can't find anywhere else - good spyderco, benchmade, all US made and hard to find models. I'd recommend swinging by! read more

Great shop! Staff is very knowledgeable, and very helpful. All American made products! I've made a few purchases here now, and always leave with what I need. Great selection of quality knives and EDC gear! read more

Fantastic shop that focuses exclusively on 100% made in the USA EDC gear. They carry items from both major manufacturers as well as smaller, local manufacturers. The employees are super cool and down to earth and will just hang out and chat about EDC gear with you. Plus, there's a freaking knife lounge. Yes, you heard that correctly. It's definitely worth the trip to check out the shop and chat with the employees. read more

This is the place for your Everyday Carry needs. Rob the owner is a stand up guy who takes care of his customers and makes you feel a part of the business rather than just another potential sale. He's always educating himself on the latest and greatest. I haven't even mentioned the impressive "Knife Lounge". The first of its kind that I've seen. Definitely check this place out. read more

Awesome personal service and a depth of knowledge in all things EDC. I really like the constant update to the inventory to see new things. These guys are my first stop when I want to make a change to my pocket situation. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this shop. The owner goes above and beyond. Friendly, knowledgeable and a great selection of edc products. read more

Fantastic selection of unique EDC equipment. Rob is especially knowledgeable, passionate and friendly to work with at the store. Huge shout out for carrying only USA made products. Rob has excellent offers I couldn't compare to anywhere else, online or big box store, for a custom designed EDC kit. I have been looking for a store front like his for awhile and without a doubt I will be a frequent returning customer bringing more business here as well. read more

I reviewed EDC specialties a year ago and man have they transformed in this short time span. At that time I had ordered a benchmade 940-1 as they didn't really carry that much inventory on hand and you had to deal with the typical benchmade shipping timeframes. Rob and Greg have been nothing but awesome with every visit but now when you go in they have CRK, benchmade, ultratechs, etc (even the knife I had to order in the past is carried in store now). they do custom work, create their own sprints and I even ordered stops this time around. I travel a lot for work and do my best to visit similar or comparable shops and can honestly say they have the best overall selection, services and knowledge in Northern Ca! Greg sharpens on a wicked edge and has stones up to 3000 grit and polishing stones for those mirror edges. I've put his sharpening to the test in comparison to others I've sent my knives too (all 20CV as a control) and his edge geometry has the best retention of the bunch. Rob is the most personable owner even compared to others in different industries, he looks to teach with every visit not just sales as many others do. Can't recommend them enough for all EDC related needs ! read more

Rob owns the store and sporces great american made items. His stock of knives, tools, wallets and items would be perfect for anyones kit or even a bug out bag. His knives are top of the line brands like spyderco, benchmade and more. Whether you are into minimalist items or lots of gadgets serving multiple purposes, this guy has it. Definitely worth checking out read more
