WOW! There's a whole lot of store stuffed into this relatively small space. But there's a HUGE selection of just about every, conceivable spice blend you'd want - from sausage seasonings, to brines, to jerky seasonings, bbq rubs, cures, hot sauces.... There's even a great selection of LEM meat processing equipment. I stocked up with a LOT of mixes I want to try (and refills of supplies I've been using). The two ladies running the store couldn't be any more friendly and helpful. They're well versed with what works well and how to achieve the best results you're wanting to get. They also offer samples of hot sauces. Prices are very reasonable, so there's going to be many more reasons for me to visit more often.

I was told by a roofer friend to get a specific roofing screw here, he said just go in with what…read moreyou want on paper because they don't know their products. I called to verify they are in stock before driving 2 hours each way. I Immediately asked for someone who knows their roofing screws. A man who doesn't know them insisted on helping. After several minutes of being told they don't make what I want, I was then told they don't even carry roofing screws. They do. I decided to buy for my house and shops from somewhere else. He became rude and refused to give me anyone else. Make your own choice. My roofer friend was certainly correct. Please train your employees on the products and at a bare minimum be polite and willing to transfer a phone call and be willing to verify stock to save someone 4 hours of driving. This was obviously a case of being too lazy just to go check what you actually have. That is terrible service especially when I tell them I'm driving two hours each way and I don't want to come home empty-handed just to have to make the drive again.

I sent it back to Buck knives and Post Falls, Idaho. I expected a hefty bill to bring it back to, at least partially, its former glory. The tip of the blade had been chipped off somewhere along the way. It was extremely dull. The brass was tarnished and almost looked like it had some sort of fungus growing on it. I could barely open the knife. The technician did an incredible job! The chip on the tip of the blade was fixed, the blade was sharpened, the brass and the wood were polished and the hinge lubricated Then they packed it extremely securely and sent it back to me. And, the total cost? $6.95! Crazy. I will never buy a knife from another company other than Buck in the future. They were so impressive!
