Knife Stores in Wilmington, North Carolina

"Absolutely hands down the best craftsman you are ever going to find. I requested a custom leather bag to hold my supplies and tools and Mike delivered in epic proportion. From the customer service, to the quality, to the level of detail it is a 10+++ on all check boxes. His Instagram has a number of items he makes including knives. Any custom work that I will ever want or need will be sent here. Do yourself a favor and support his work by buying..."

"What an amazing belt. This was my first custom belt and I had some ideas but didn't know if they were possible. Mike took the time to listen to what I wanted, then sketched up a few ideas all of which were great. The one I chose came out exactly like the sketch, the detail in the Purple Heart is so incredible I had no idea such detail was possible with leather. The fit of the belt is perfect and the little extra leather key chain, personal note, ..."

"So my lady gifted me a custom matching belt and wallet from Beast Belts and Knives for my birthday and they came out BEAUTIFUL. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none and they both seem to be getting better with time as they break in. 6 months later not a single stitch is out of place and I've used this wallet and worn this belt literally every single day since I received them. Mike is truly one talented human being! I highly..."

"Mike made me a custom leather sheath for my favorite kitchen knife. The sheath was made with high quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. For example, the sheath is directional, so he strategically placed his maker’s mark to help with proper orientation. I could not be more pleased with it, and he made it quickly which was a really nice bonus. Finally, he is just a fun guy to talk to, and really down to earth."

"Just had an absolutely fantastic experience shopping today. We are in the planning phase of investing in a tandem kayak. Dave spent a bunch of time with us sharing his knowledge about their kayak stock and helped guide us on what we may need as a family. It's always a pleasure to shop at the Wilmington location and the staff's customer service is always top notch."

"I ordered a kayak on 04/23 from their Wilmington location, put down a deposit of several hundred dollars, and was told it should arrive in a few weeks and they'd call to let me know. On May 8th I called to check on the status and they said it should be there "soon." I asked what "soon" was and the employee said probably the following week. I then called back the following week and was told it was supposed to have arrived in their prior shipmen..."

"I would have loved to give this store more stars however they didn't have the one item I was looking for out on the shelf. They do have a wide selection outdoor items, but I failed to find a blow up mattress that's designed to specifically fit in the backseat of a truck. Unfortunately I was never approached to ask if I needed help. I don't recall ever being greeted when we entered the store. If you are looking for camping supplies, outdoor shoes/..."

"I recently bought two kayaks from the Wilmington location and had an awesome experience. The staff were really friendly and helpful and even put the kayaks on my car and tied them down for me. When I got home I realized a there was a strap missing from one of the kayaks. I called the store the next day and not only did they get me my strap, then even mailed it to me with next day delivery. Shout out to Dave and Phil for being awesome. My wife a..."

"Canady's is my "locals" outdoor shop - I get all my hunting needs from them. They always have the highest quality gear, which I'm thankful for, but what sets them apart from the big box guys is SERVICE - a real old fashioned concept that they embrace wholeheartedely. Canady's goes out of their way to take care of their customers, and I mean above and beyond. You simply cannot get that knowledge base, nor experience, in the larger outlets. Per..."

"Purchased a shotgun from Canady's downtown in the1960's. Great service. Left messages twice in the last two weeks on the request for quotes regarding the transom height of a boat. No response. Called and talked to a gentleman early last week who said the man who did boats would make contact in a couple of days. No response. The Phone mailbox is always full. Is there a family emergency? Have shopped there in recent years and service was excellent."

"Absolute worst service I have ever had at a bow shop. Took my bow in to have it checked over and re strung. A month goes by. I call in and they haven’t ordered the string or touched the bow since I dropped it off. Was told to order my own string and I did and was told they would install it same day. Then when I get the string they say it’ll be a few days before they could even get to it. So if you need anything bow related do not go there!"

"Took my granddaughter to be fitted for a compound bow...from initial call with Sarah, to John, their archery expert, great service and knowledge. John spent almost 2 hours with her, sharing his knowledge of how and why to operate and maintain a compound bow. Thanks, and Merry Christmas to the entire staff. Lonnie Moosman started immediately. K udos to all at Canady's. Merry Christmas"

"A fun place to shop for kitchen supplies. I like that you can buy a small amount of herbs and spices, that are always fresh. And you can get your kitchen knives sharpened."

"I had a horrible experience! My daughter received a gift certificate for Christmas for what we thought were kids cooking classes. the first class we signed her up for in September was canceled with less than 24 hrs notice so we rescheduled for the kids class in October. My daughter who is 10 was expecting to have some kind of cooking experience because this is what we were told when we bought the gift certificates. This was not the case and she w..."

"The Seasoned Gourmet was a delight to visit! Not only do they have a respectable selection of wines, gourmet seasonings, and legitimately professional gear, their staff are pleasant and genuinely kind. I purchased my very first professional 7" Santoku and, when explaining that I wasn't a professional, the lady was accommodating and loved the stories I told of growing up in my dad's restaurant! They didn't care that I wasn't a professional chef, ..."

"A group from my company was traveling to Wilmington for a meeting. We were looking for a group activity for everyone to enjoy. There were about 40 people in the group. Seasoned Gourmet set up 2 seatings for a cooking class for our team. They did an amazing job of managing all of the accomodations for the various food allergies/ preferences. They also set up a ravioli makimg competition! It was great. Thank you to Erin for the organization of the ..."

"First time here - doors locked for “inventory” at 11a on a Monday - 3 ppl at door and no one coming to door to acknowledge us - open/closed status not depicted on their Google or website"

"I bought my daughter a Christmas gift and they shipped the wrong item. I called the day that she received it and they were supposed to ship out a replacement that day and it was supposed to arrive by the Dec 21st. My daughter had to ship back what they sent in error. I never got an email confirmation, although I got an email for a review of the customer service person. So today is the 21st and nothing showed up. I called them and they said it was..."

"Was told that I had 30 days to return the expresso machine I bought from here. After using it for a bit I was not a fan of the machine so I brought it back to return it where I was told that I was not able to return it because there was nothing wrong with it, I was not told that when I bought it. I don’t really care that I’m out $600, but they need to make sure that everyone knows the policies. The service was great and everyone was nice but mayb..."

"Williams-Sonoma shopper for many years. Visited the Wilmington, NC store in the Mayfair Shopping Center and purchased several items totaling a little over $300 on September 27, 2025. The lady who helped us was very helpful and polite. Unfortunately, the gentleman who she worked for was less than spectacular in nearly every way. He especially seemed lacking in common courtesy to customers. Perhaps he was at the end of a long shift, but he should d..."
