knife shopping in Thailand

Post by Bruno22 » Fri Nov 02, 2007 10:20 am

Hello everyone,
Anyone know of any good knife shops in Thailand? Will be visiting in a few days and wanted to go armed with some names and locations. Any help will be welcome.

Call on the land line #s given below in Bangkok. One Sachdev family of Indian origin owns more then a dozen gun shops in a row. Unfortunately the card I have is in their local language, except the numbers fortunately. One of their shops is exclusively for knives only. Happy shopping.

I am back. Thanks eveyone for the useful information. Sadly could not visit any of the locations as I was busy with my wife and kid. Did see a lot of ColdSteel knives sold in the mens sections of many department stores. Also came accross some very cool and expensive Strider Knives. Theres a chain of shops called 'The Tank Store' which have super stuff like knives, clothes and flashlights.
Had a super trip!!

No knives, but did get a surefire G2 Nitrolon flashlight. Its got a led bulb and an on time of about 12 hours. Got it for about Rs. 3600/- Was very tempted to get the Coldsteel Kukri. Its fantastic, but huge and would have got me in problems at the airport.
