    Wall of knives! Many options and you can pick your blade style.
    Sam W.

    I have heard about this place a lot from coworkers and others. I've wanted a knife for quite awhile but always hesitated because of the price. I had a friend who went in and said they had some sales going on and I should stop by since it was around the holidays, so I did. Let's just say... I ended up buying four different knives and loving this place even more. The customer service and staff were all super friendly and just normal people. They treated you nice and were just real with you, we even joked around a bit. They have a big wall with the current "stock" knives for sale and will explain the pricing of each section. You can choose off the wall or have a custom knife made, which costs more. When I went they had several knives on sale for a REALLY awesome deal because of an issue with the design 'wearing' off in your pocket. Ultimately, I wasn't too concerned about the issue because I bought four of them... two for me and two for gifts (on two separate days.) The staff was just really great and remembered me the second time I came in. They have a bucket of $5 knives you can get. Usually they have a slight problem but there were some quality knives in there. They also have a knife of the month club you can subscribe to or you can stop in and buy most of the past months (new) knives for $10 each - still a great deal and a wide variety. You can trust me when I say... I will be back!

    I have been going to Ravencrest Tactical for years. It's a long drive for me but has always been worth it. Their knives are superior to any other everyday carry and I have gone through a lot of other knives. I'm the proud owner of 5 of their knives and today almost made 7. However, I went there today and had the misfortune of talking to a younger guy with a dark beard. I had 2 knives on me that needed the attention of someone that knew what they were doing. This guy was NOT that guy. My automatic knife is not deploying. It needs cleaning. My assist knife opens but is crunchy. It needed cleaning. I'm not sure this guy even looked at them when he went behind the counter. From what I can tell he did nothing. Nada. Zip... it's my fault I didn't check them there but I was so irritated with this guy thatni didn't do it. My bad. I asked about the 2 knives I wanted to buy. An automatic krambit and an automatic drop point. These knives (as well as all the knives I have) are in the neighborhood of $200.00 apiece. They didn't have the krambit in stock. Okay, that I understand. When I asked about customizing the drop point he told me they don't really do customization on the knives. He said this as he was STANDING NEXT TO THE SIGH THAT SAYS THEY CCUSTOMIZE KNIVES!!!! I was ready to check this guy for a pulse. I MAY go back at some point because I love their knives. And they now sell firearms. I asked 1 question about a gun. "Do you have a FN 5.7?" Answer: "no." "Can I order one?" Answer "no." "Can I have one sent here and buy it that way?" Answer: " you may want to call back and talk to Keanu." He hands me a card. I have this place programed in my phone but the card was a nice touch. Even if it didn't have Keanu's name on it. As bad as this guy was I asked if they ware under new owners or management. "No." I had had it at this point. I brought my crunchy opening knife and my sometimes deploys automatic and tried to clean them myself. No dice. I have no clue how to take then apart. I have to go back. Another 30 minute drive that will HOPEFULLY be a tad more productive. Please, go here and buy spectacular knives. Do NOT talk to the guy with a beard! Good luck. I added a pic of my "kids".

    I will be a Ravencrest supporter forever! These knives are extremely durable. Easy for everyday carry. Customer service and the owners are easy to work with. They care about their customers and quality of their product. Great business to support

    Obsessed! This place is great. They have many selections with different styles and combinations (handles/blades) and offers that can fit any budget. I "budget" for my knife collection and heard about a steal of a deal on OTF peices. Luckily on Saturday, Rionne was on duty to answer all my questions and show me around. She was super helpful and i couldn't help but make a purchase that I've bragged about all weekend. A holiday discount, tshirt, and a great Monthly Membership plan later... i am really happy to recommend RavenCrest Tactical to anyone with a penchant for knives.

    I purchased a Bravo Tach from RavenCrest. The knife arrived and it was sturdy, well built and the cerakote w matching screws gave a great look and feel. I had a small hiccup with the Bravo and reached out to RavenCrest, they went above and beyond to make things right. I now have a Covert Reaper from RavenCrest and I can tell you it is a second to none OTF. I have 10 OTFs from all the big companies and I promise you the Covert Reaper is my edc now. You can spend $2-300 more if you want, but you won't have that lifetime warranty and customer service, not to mention you'd be wasting that $2-300. BUY A COVERT REAPER. NO JOKE.

    I saw this place driving by this morning and decided to stop in and check it out. Am I glad that I did. They are going thru a renovation inside but the knives are awesome! Chris took the time to help me and answer questions about the different models and the features of them. Learned that they have a Monthly knife club where members pay $10 or something similar and every month they get a different folding or fixed knife - pretty cool! Chris is very knowledgeable on the products and showed me by example that their unconditional lifetime guarantee is for real. A guy brought in a knife while I was there, that was having issues, which was a model no longer in production. Chris took the old handle, and replaced the insides with a functioning assembly and made sure they customer was happy - all at no charge. Impressive! I ended up buying a Spartan model that was in the dents and dings section - barely even noticeable cosmetic ding which saved me over $20. Chris changed it to have whichever style blade I wanted inside and I chose the Tanto. I didn't want any serration on the blade. I'm thrilled with the results! I will definitely be back to see them again. If you are in the market, definitely go in and see Chris - he can hook you up!

    See all

Bass Pro and Cabela's are sporting good retailers that sell outdoor equipment for camping, hunting, fishing and other outdoor reactional activities. I am a big outdoor enthusiast and live next door to this Bass Pro Shop in Mesa. Most of my outdoor activities include camping, running, skiing and kayaking. Bass Pro Shops have been around for many years and recently acquired Cabela's. This Bass Pro Shop is called Outdoor World and has an aquarium, shooting gallery and animal displays. It adds to the fun of walking around these stores and gives you that feel that you are outside. The prices aren't anything special. But I like that you can find a lot of outdoor apparel and gear all in one stop. Bass Pro Shops supports conservation efforts throughout the U.S. The Islamorada Fish Company Restaurant that was here closed a few years ago.

During…read moremy visit, my mom was waiting in line to use the restroom along with several other customers when a mom and her child walked straight past everyone and cut through the entire line. It was extremely rude and disrespectful to everyone who had been patiently waiting their turn. What made the situation even worse was that no one from the store seemed to address it or manage the situation, even though the area was busy. Basic courtesy and respect for other customers should be expected in a public place, and unfortunately that wasn't the case here. While the store itself may be popular, experiences like this leave a really negative impression. I left feeling frustrated and disappointed with how the situation played out. I hope that some day, this issue gets addressed and resolved. Needless to say, I won't be coming back & would highly recommend staying away from this location.

    I love this place! I used to be an REI loyalists but lately my activities are getting much more…read moretechnical and REI doesn't seem to be able to supply all the gear I need. I came here a few days ago looking for vertical ascend gear out of caves. I was greeted by Jason and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. I needed very specific gear, and Jason was very patient with me and showed me where I could find sit harnesses, chest harness, chest ascender, hand ascende, foot loops, etc. I didn't find exactly what I needed but got a good idea on the things I need to build a personalized vertical gear set for myself. And of course, while I was looking for cave gear, I wandered around looking at all the fabulous gear they have, I was like a kid in a candy store. I could spend hours in here. I started looking at hydration packs as I need to replace mine and found a very nice military edition and will come back to purchase this soon. I also saw plenty of Petzl bags, and very tempted to purchase another. They also carry so much Petzl gear, you will be in heaven here. Also, some great hiking shoes and some sleek, but we'll performing water shoes. I then wandered into kayaks and Jason even showed me the Padillac they have! I've gotten into paddleboarding and kayaking for the summer and now want one of each! This place rents them and sells them. I then went to check out some wetsuit gear, and they have a really nice selection of wetsuits, gloves, booties, etc. I really love this place and it is definitely gonna bankrupt me, but so worth it. High quality gear, more extensive selection than REI and the staff here know what they are talking about. If you need something specialized, this is the place for you. I'll be back here soon!
