I cannot recommend American Flags & Cutlery enough! Before upgrading my kitchen knives, I brought…read moremy old blades here to be sharpened, and they did an incredible job bringing the edges back to life. Eventually, I decided to upgrade, and I've since bought several things from the owner, Bryan--including a prep knife, paring knife, carving set, tomato and cheese knife, and several pairs of kitchen shears. The entire experience was outstanding, and the value is unbeatable for this level of quality. Bryan is incredibly nice, helpful, and highly knowledgeable. He took the time to answer all my questions and guided me to the perfect blades without any high-pressure sales tactics. The shop has a great, welcoming atmosphere and an impressive selection. If you want top-tier products, fair pricing, and genuine, old-school customer service, you need to check this place out!

I would like to start off by giving this stores customer service and the lady Cassandra Blaile a…read moreone star review. My son, husband and I googled ourselfs to this location to get my son some very pricey knifes and upon entering the gentleman at the entrance was happy spirited smiling and providing excellent customer service and attitude!! The customers he was helping were white colored skinned and ofcourse im married to a white colored skinned man and I was the only one of darker complexion and the lady was quickly rude I guess the questions we were asking were too much for her or maybe my skin color. I did not want to get anymore angrier for the way she responded to me so I asked the gentleman if the knife was for sale or not because we were interested in purchasing the one in the display case and again I was answered smartly... like he said anything we have out is all we have!! Didn't even try to listen to us, I stepped back and let the lighter colored people like my son and husband finish the transaction!! Because I was super uncomfortable at that point NOT ONLY FOR THE WAY I WAS TREATED!! LET ALONE SPEND OVER A HUNDRED DOLLARS!!! AFTER I WAS TREATED LIKE POOP FOR THE COLOR OF MY SKIN!! Anyway I was reading the door as it states help shop local businesses or whatever. I live a few blocks away from this store, never visited until today and we won't be back ever!!! might as well put a WHITES ONLY!!! Sign. My husband and son tried to make me feel better about the situation. Until you get discriminated against SIMPLY FOR THE COLoR OF YOUR SKIN!! there is no excuse!! YOU SHOULDN'T WORK OR BE SHOP OWNER!! So much for shopping local!!

roberts surfboards has been shaping top quality, high performance surfboards for about a decade…read more the results are boards that are every bit as good as more-recognizable brands of surfboards yet cost up to 20% less. and unlike big name surf brands (see: rusty, merrick, jc) each stick is finished by the guy who's name is on the brand, NOT an apprentice or an automated machine. a huge plus is the fact that roberts will take custom orders. give em a shout and tell them the dimensions you want and you'll have a made-to-order, one-of-a-kind shred sled. roberts has also recently started making boards using expanded polystyrene cores (eps) that is a lighter, stronger material that has fewer environmentally harmful waste products. now if only he'll hurry up and finish shaping mine!!

Awesome experience!!! My board turned out so good and its so fun i may never see my family ever…read moreagain!! I never want to leave the water now! I got a Floaty model (extra floaty) and it rides exactly and even better than what i had imagined. Robert dialed me in to a T and is a master shaper, the whole experience was great and better than i hoped for, from walking in, to talking shop, to deciding on what to get, going over little special custom features to help dial it in the way i wanted, to pickup was just stellar and smooth as silk. Very easy going, classy and wonderful experience. There is a lot of love in his boards and i now finally understand the difference between a custom board made by hand with love vs a pre-cut pop out that just gets sanded and put on the rack for sale, wow what a difference this makes, i surfed better the very first time i took it out it feels like theres a magic carpet under my feet and i may keep it in my bed at night with me to cuddle it i love it so much! Highly recommend going this route for your board even if you are a beginner Robert has models for everyone and a small section of used boards too. I wish i had more legs to use more surfboards on so i could do it again and get 3 more, ill be back!!
