I cant say enough good things about this shop and the family that works at and owns the business…read more Emile and Rana are welcoming, friendly and simply put, good people. On my first visit, I was greeted with a welcoming smile and good conversation as if I'd been coming there for years. I've made several purchases from this store and each went smoothly and at fair prices. Yes, prices on firearms, ammunition and knives are high, but very much in-line with other retailers. Even if something is slightly higher than at a big box store, I'd much rather give my business to The Rusty Knife and support a small business. Don't hesitate to visit. I'll be going here for many years to come.

The store mainly has fishing supplies for the nearby ponds to catch trout, bluegill, and bass. There is a small selection for water sports, goggles, snow gear, and swim wear. Yes it's small , but that's the charm and how logistics works when out so far from a local big box store. I've bought fishing licenses here which was not an issue for me. They are able to take debit card with a small fee. Pay with cash and you can avoid fee - just like numerous small business impacted by cc fees from the cc companies. Also picked up a custom Ebbetts Pass sun shirt which honestly is badasś. Support local business there and around town!

There's a giant artificial sequoia tree you walk through with an artificial rock ridge line in the rotunda with rams on the ridge. This location seems to stock more combo fishing rods.

Buy some fishing gear and go fish!!!

I purchased a 2023 Sun Tracker boat from Bass Pro Shops in Manteca and unfortunately my experience…read morehas been extremely disappointing from day one. The boat had ongoing issues immediately after purchase, and despite multiple attempts over several months to get them resolved, the problems were not properly addressed. After significant delays, the boat was finally inspected and a hole in the console was discovered, which was allowing water intrusion into the vessel. I brought the boat in for repair expecting a resolution, but when it was returned, the condition was actually worse. Components were loose, poorly fitted, and the overall workmanship was unacceptable. The original issue was not fully resolved, and additional problems appeared after their service work. At this time, Bass Pro Shops in Manteca still has possession of my boat, and I have been unable to get any clear communication or updates despite multiple attempts to follow up. My calls are not being returned, and I'm being left without answers or a timeline for resolution. To make matters worse, the warranty service department has stated that the issue is not their responsibility and that it falls on the dealer, who they believe caused the damage during service. I am now stuck in the middle with no one taking responsibility, no repair progress, and no clear path forward, which has been extremely frustrating and concerning given the cost and seriousness of the purchase. At this point, I am extremely concerned about the quality control and service standards. For a major purchase like a boat, I expected far better support and accountability. I hope management takes these issues seriously and improves how warranty and repair cases are handled for customers.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff/owner (not sure) are far superior to the help you get if you drive to town (Stockton). Hopefully this will prompt other V.S. residents to patronize this shop and support this small business. Will likely add the fifth star after they have more in stock.
