Wow. I stopped in by chance on a rainy afternoon and discovered this treasure trove filled with…read morebeautiful things! I really have been looking for something unique, handmade, and truly Alaskan to remember my trip and found that very thing here. (A really beautiful pendant made of fossilized mammoth tooth and larimar... ) I did have a hard time deciding, just because there were so many beautiful pieces here! They carry native handicrafts, gold and silver jewelry, art objects, and so much more. I think they are also a full service jewelry store and can do repair work as well. If you're looking for something to remember your trip or to get for a gift, don't miss this shop. It's amazing and Carmen is wonderful to chat with! She helped me figure out some great places to visit while I'm here to shoot in. I'm so glad I stopped in! Thanks so much, love my pendant and Homer was a cool trip today!

Just wanted to update this - we stopped here in 2019. I called them recently to make sure they…read morewere still open after COVID as my daughter will be driving past them in Soldotna very soon. They are still open for business!! This was the very best "souvenir" place in all of Alaska. Reluctant to use that word "souvenir" as this store is really an art store full of native Alaskan artwork, carvings, etc. It's almost like a museum. If you want to consider something special from Alaska, stop at this place. We got a small scrimshaw piece carved on a small chunk of mammoth tusk that was mounted on a piece of caribou antler. So unique and beautiful. BTW - the Alaskan locals find mammoth tusks and pieces around the lakebeds - thousands of years old. It is legal for them to collect and turn into art as they are not collected by hunting live animals.

NOPE. Leaving town tomorrow (Saturday) morning. I'm still looking for a knife but I'm not sure this guy wants my money. We'll see if he's open tomorrow but I doubt it given the irregular schedule.

We didn't have time to stop so we planned to stop back on our way back on Sunday. After reviewing his website we learned he was a third generation knife maker and didn't open on Sundays till 1 pm. We knew we would be coming through earlier so we were a little bummed we may miss him. I found Paul's number and sent him a text. He called me immediately and setup a special time for us to stop in on our way back. We were very excited he would do this. On Sunday 1/19 we stopped in about 12:15 pm and greeted us as we walked in. He showed us different knives and showed us around his shop. My wife and I love to cook so we were in the market for kitchen knives. After looking around and explaining what we wanted he said he could make it. He doesn't technically take orders and you don't pay for anything till it's made. He will basically make the type of knives we want when he is in the process of making a batch of knives and he will text me to see if I want any of them. He doesn't take "orders" because he wants to make what he wants then sell them. He doesn't want to be tied to an order book. I ordered 2 knives and will order a third soon. I would like 1 to pass down to my three kids. If your in the area please stop by his shop. You won't t be disappointed!! Or check it his facebook page. He has lots of videos of his knives

I have gotten tops, dresses, shoes, two vests, and even a hand bag at Curtain Call, it's hard to resist when the price is right! All of the price tags have 50% off dates on them so if you're willing to wait you might get an even better deal, as long as someone else doesn't get it first! The only downfalls are no men's clothes and they're only open Fridays and Saturdays but I can't blame them for either-life's busy and fashion conscious men in Kenai might be a hard market to run a business on.
