The Rusty Knife

I cant say enough good things about this shop and the family that works at and owns the business. 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.

Arnold, CANo guns here at the moment, but lots of knives.The owner and son (I assume) were very nice. I though I might make a splurge on some French steak knives, but they were out of stock.We did find a nice gift for a friend, a beautiful wooden handle $30 French foldable mushroom knife with a little brush on the end, never seen one before, but saw it hanging on the magnetic knife rack and it caught my eye.The owner was so nice, he knew the knife was for a gift, placed it in the original box and wrapped it before we even had to ask... and all the while continued to chat with us.What a great little store, and a nice quick visit. Suport local small shops if possible!

These people are great. No BS and don't try and sell you crap you don't need. Bought a few guns here and never a bad experience. Long drive for us, but worth giving them our business.

This is the best place in Arnold! If you want the good stuff come here! Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to guns and knives! They are doing good now! Good Job! Aye aye aye!

Wow just wow what an amazing facility and And the staff was super friendly, they have an amazing selection of anything you are looking for. I love this place and highly recommend it. Five star review, their prices are great and fair, you have to see the staff at Rusty knives!

Nice mom and pop shop in Arnold CA. The owners here are great people happily will answer any questions you have it's worth stopping in just to meet them. I stopped in to get my pocket knife sharpened, it is sharper now than ever, ended up leaving with a couple more great knives. They got a great selection of all types of quality knives prices ranging from $-$$$ depending on quality. Also have a nice range of firearms as well.

The Rusty Knife is an outstanding shop! The owner is knowledgeable, and helpful. I will definitely be going back! :)

Emile and his son are very helpful, and kind. They helped me find everything I needed for a great price. Very welcoming and great selection of hunting supplies. Found all of the hunting stuff I needed for my trip would highly recommend checking this place out.

If your looking for guns don't go to the rusty knife. He charges too much for everything, has very little respect for longtime locals, and will be dishonest when telling you the value of used guns.

A friend and I, who both have a thing for pocket knives, decided we'd stop by the Rusty Knife after we had driven by. The store has a big sofa, and people would just come by and chat it up. Emile, who has this store as part of his retirement plan, was unhurried, gracious and gave us great insights into knives. He gave me a tutorial on how to properly sharpen a knife, and how people often sharpen a knife incorrectly. He talked to my friend about the knives her father had given her, and lovingly looked her knife over. I bought a Keshaw knife, which had exactly the feel I was longing for (after my CRKT knife I always had on me and forgot to remove before a trip was taken by TSA). He had a fine selection and laid out a number of knives that he thought I'd like. He sharpened both of our knives to scalpel-like sharpness, all for free. Emile is a good guy who is more interested in your having a good experience with him and his family (who came in and out of the store) than he is on your buying one of his knives.
