6 months after my first review, I'm back in Town and Three Sisters has moved across the street into…read morea more spacious place for Dana's (Owner) workshop and displays. The building that held the old shop has been torn down. Last time I was here, my purchases dabbled in gun-related tchotchkes. This time around, I returned to the Iowa Knife display case and received a friendly no-judgement tutorial on various fixed blade makers, their focus, and the resulting pieces work. It was a fascinating education, which ended with the purchase of a nice and well priced fixed tool steel knife with craft wood chef handle by Jason Clark of Ames. There were a couple more Iowa knives that caught my eye, but one budget-awakening purchase at a time. It was also hard to even look at the branded commercial knives after this trip through the Iowa case. But it will be a new day when I'm in town as early as next month, as it will feel that I'm looking at a whole new knife world at the Three Sisters Knife Company. Groundhog Day?

In the end we found out they hadn't even started on the sword. All it needed was new leather and wrap on the handle. I completely understand being busy and have sympathy for retail workers, but he originally told me it would be "2 weeks". Then another "2 weeks", then "i don't know" any time i asked after that. At least he was honest when he said he didn't know. He was very polite and apologetic about it though so i guess i'll put 4 stars instead of the 3 i was gonna give. Just don't expect fast work on personal requests pr orders.

The Woodsmith Store is amazing!!! During the remodeling of our home, we ran into constant hassles…read morefinding the items we needed in the big box stores. We would talk to sales associates who were clueless and would subsequently sell us the wrong item. A case in point was some pie hinges for our new custom kitchen cabinets. When I finally was so frustrated with the home improvement stores, I walked into the Woodsmith Store and they knew immediately what I needed. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and actually seem to be woodworkers, not just clerks wandering aimlessly. While there I also visited the garden center and was awed by the selection and the knowledge of the staff. I will be back time and time again!!!
